Bernie Meyerson, vice president of IBM, said, "What we are talking about now is to completely change the invention of computers so that they can interact with human beings. IBM is convinced that extending people's sense of touch is an invention that can change the world in the next five years. This invention is also included in the company's annual list of "five innovative products that will affect the world in the next five years".
In the future, intelligent machines can also listen to the environment and highlight the voices we care about most. For example, an advanced speech recognition system will be able to tell young parents why their baby is crying. This kind of thing may not be possible now, but it will become possible after a sufficiently advanced system is invented.
In the near future, personal computers can do many things besides recognizing images and video data. The built-in camera in the computer will be able to analyze various features such as colors and understand the meaning of visual media, for example, how to filter out family photos from photos.
Intelligent machines can still smell in the future. If you sneeze on your computer or mobile phone, the small sensor on the machine will analyze thousands of molecules in your exhaled gas. "The machine will remind you like this, hey, you are probably sick, go to see a doctor quickly!" Mayerson said.
Mark Malu is a professor of computer science at Georgetown University. He hopes that scientific and technological progress will encourage more students to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics, so as to prepare them for their achievements and roles in future innovations and inventions. He believes that there is no doubt that the progress in the field of computer technology in the next five years will make those plots that now look like science fiction become a part of everyone's life at that time.
