List of possible predictions
AI technology imitating thinking processes of the human brain.
AI teachers get better results teaching humans than most human teachers do.
Computers write most of their own software.
Human knowledge is exceeded by machine knowledge.
Machine knowledge already exceeds the knowledge of any single human. But robots are being used to
gather information such as recording data from security cameras. 10^20 bytes of storage are
manufactured every month. This means computer storage is growing rapidly. How much is redundant?
How do you count routine data such as surveilence video so that it is not overweighted in the
measurement?
Electronic pets outnumber organic pets.
Electronic life form given basic rights.
Artificial insects and small animals with artificial brains.
AI entity becomes a Member of British Parliament.
Smart bacteria contains electronics and is linked to net.
AI brings chimpanzee or dolphin up to human-level intelligence.
AI entity awarded Nobel Prize.
Virus wipes out 10% of the electronic pet population.
Remote-control devices built into living pets.
AI entities given the right to vote.
Nanotech-based organism colonies built.
Synthetic bacteria is created.
Artificial sensors used in cosmetic upgrade surgery.
Smart makeup works to improve people's looks.
Listing of individual's DNA for $1 (10M key base pairs).
Police force privatized in many nations.
Films where viewers can choose who acts in each role.
Autonomous production plants make everything.
Thought recognition as an everyday input process.
Self-diagnostic, self-repairing robots.
War fought entirely between robot armies.
ID cards replaced by biometric scanning.
Life expectancy approaches 100
