The next tech leap in our evolution
As a "thought-provoking" moment this morning, let me share with you the following as food-for-thought...
Think for a second about the moment the next leap in our technological evolution is made. This will most probably be defined by using properly well-defined Artificial Intelligence #AI capabilities, Machine Learning #ML (most likely Deep Learning #DL, for classifying and profiling attacks/attackers, possibly minimizing the risk of being trained the wrong way), successfully adapting Chaos Engineering #ChaosEngineering on Software Defined Networks #SDN (which will have the ability to be redefined seamlessly in Real-Time by the #AI, performing any number of complicated micro-segmentations), capable of running "as a Service" in the #Cloud (hosting a whole virtual network/computer infrastructure, where the end-points are simply tabs opened on "web" browsers).
The unification era will bring together heterogeneous concepts and technologies, and will merge understandings and capabilities, for a better working world
This is topped by a design that can perform self-testing, self-upgrading and self-patching while microprocessing devices will become the norm for end-users as they will only be required to present the results (projection, audio, Gamma waves, materialization, and decision making in different forms).
In the meantime, Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Semiconductors and Quantum Computing will become soon enough a mandatory field in our understanding of the world, while at the same time will drive the evolution of renewable sources of energy and energy storage allowing the end-users' (especially through their microprocessing devices) to work for larger periods of time, as they will be able to recharge on the go.
The evolutionary leap is crucial to be open, owned by no company, nor government
Such evolutionary leap is mandatory to be open, and owned by no company, nor government. Yes, it is possible to create services, products, new technologies on top of that. Effectively, the business opportunities will not stop, on the contrary, they will explode into a vast amount of new opportunities and will open a new door into the future.
Think today about the future shape and form of our digital world and the Internet, as it is a complex ecosystem waiting to evolve further.
Think of this in the context of how the Internet is created. In other words, it is the version II of the Internet as we know it, or #IInternet as I like to refer to it.
Our only real problem will be deciding at what point it is morally acceptable to draw the line between a self-sustainable technological era versus an independent self-aware robotic future in which we will need to depend upon by taking a leap of faith into the unknown.

6 年Nice article! But it was the definition of the Internet when discovered it right? (We are old people ;-). I remember they said that the Internet was unbreakable, thanks to the dynamic routing protocols, packets will always reach their destination... then the layer 8 came...

6 年With Quantum Computing, I quite like what MS is doing. They are building a binary to Quantum interface. Quantum systems are still to big (size of a fridge) to be practical outside of cloud and data centres (same thing really). But it’s promise is incredible again many fold increase in compute power. One possibility is that deep RL might help get us there faster.

6 年In the medium term it remains to be seen how well ML will bridge the “last mile” to provide decent automation across the board. The same with Deep Reinforced learning like Google Deep mind. But if they do we would see an increase in productivity and scientific advances accelerated.

6 年Great article, in the long run I think one thing you touched on is how do you limit the unemployment problem and the consolidation of wealth. You end up with great productivity managed by few employees and owned by even fewer companies. I personally don’t know the answer, basic/universal salary tip toes around the subject of large sways of people living with little to do.
