Digital Tattoos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not just stickers. Digital art implanted under your skin, running for months, maybe years. But — is a digital image you can replace at any time really a tattoo, in spirit? And how far will this go? Will poker players use this tech to mask their emotions? And, if them, what about the rest of us? Do we really want every pixel of our appearance programmed? Read the full prediction: Digital Tattoos
Peak Digital (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You are a temporary substrate. True intelligence will arrive only when biology has been transcended — i.e. when humanity is extinct, or at least irrelevant. That is the future depicted by many Strategic Farsight predictions. It is the consensus future, at least within the AI brain making the predictions, and thus within the corpus of human writing on the subject. But what if we are exaggerating the AI future, just like we exaggerated space travel, cyberspace, and every other new technology? Tune
Cybernetic Memory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cyberpunk daydream, or reality by 2075? Maybe a little of both... The biggest surprise: hope for Alzheimer's patients, arriving sometime in the 2040s via a memory prosthetic — a "high confidence" prediction. Tune in for this two-chapter trek into the future of brain augmentation. Or read the full predictions: Implantable Brain Memory Storage Devices Consumer-Grade Neural Memory Modules for Direct Knowledge Augmentation
Water Generation in the Desert (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can order them today: solar panels that will produce drinking water from the air. But can they scale to entire cities, like Phoenix, which already face a water crisis? Longer-term, does this tech enable better management of river systems, or is it just another technology that distances human beings from their environment? Read the full prediction: Atmospheric Water Generation Sustaining a Large Desert City
Discovery of Space Aliens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we've had our AI superbrain ponder all the knowledge of the world to tell us, once and for all — are space aliens already here? Perhaps teasing us with playful flybys? And if so, or if not, when will we have proof? At least of life on another planet. And when will we have our first conversation with an alien intelligence? Tune in to find out, or just read the full scenario here: Discovery of Space Aliens Along with the supporting predictions: Discovery of Evidence of Life Away from Ear
