The Futurist What if?

I spent many years in the consulting world. During those years, I learned many things. One of the lessons that stuck with me was to embrace the question of why. I took a class many years ago, and the instructor expressed one of the lines that stuck with me all these years. Why, drives what, and how. The Why in machine intelligence right now is cost savings. Unfortunately, many people have come to equivocate why the cost savings result in personnel reduction. But the reality is the why of machine intelligence is clear: it's all about improved performance. I find myself now asking what if? In the world of machine intelligence, the question of what if continues to expand. What if we did it this way?

Let's think about that for just a moment. Knowing that many companies are racing down the machine intelligence path to reduce the time it takes to complete tasks, many software architecture people ask, what if? What if we did it this way? The more I think about what is coming in machine intelligence, the more I wonder about this question: what if? For example, at a recent event, Nvidia announced their new jimmies check. The Nims chip allows you to embed the components of the Chabad into the hardware. The reality of machine intelligence processing power needed to utilize leverage and ultimately deploy machine intelligence is pretty high. With this new chip, will we see an explosion of machine intelligence systems?

As I said, it is an interesting question I often ask myself. Then, when I heard about it, I started to research it. It is a very interesting concept. It is not a ship you can buy today, but it is coming. Based on my IT experience over the last 30 years, what will he change? Will this create the concept of a truly portable digital assistant? Companies would essentially embed this new chip into your cell phone. Of course, if you've ever looked inside a cell phone, they are packed tightly today. Nims would need to be a very small wafer chip to fit into the cell phone to be effective.

Cell phones have limited memory. But what if a cell phone company embraces the Nvidea? Nims chip. When NVidea announced the chip, the first thing analysts said was which LLM or AI model would embrace this new chip. I'm wondering if, instead, the question is which cell phone companies will embrace the Nims technology first? That may be the next game changer that changes the cell phone market again. As I said, a cell phone is tight if you look inside. One of the things that we've had in the past is the lithium-ion batteries that power cell phones overheating. I am sure most of you, at one time or another, have held a very warm cell phone in your hand. Or felt the phone in your pocket warming up during a long conversation. The reality is it's a tight space, but if you can cram game-changing technology into a tight space effectively, you become the market leader.

I'll leave you with this thought. What if, with an embedded Nims chip, your tablet, cellular-connected laptop, or cell phone had enough intelligence in that ship to control the data flowing in and out of your device? Many applications today call home for information. They do that in the background and consume your cellular bandwidth without you knowing it. What if you're on a critical conference call, and your phone is smart enough to provide the call with all of the available bandwidth? Pushing the other services into the background allows them to do trip-trickle replication. In other words, they don't have control of the bandwidth. They get a small, tiny amount. Then when the calls are over, everybody can resume, and they can suck out all the data that is best for you could embed a fully functional near real-time language translation system into the Nims chip on the cell phone. Imagine the possibilities by simply asking the question what if?
