Setting up the scenario prompts for clients always cheers me up. In front of your eyes, science fiction becomes science fact, and some of them have a serious impact on your business. The one that really triggered me today is connecting 16 organoid mini-brains into a biological computer. Now, combine that with AI and next-generation robotics. Awesome!
The other prompts are digit twins, sound sensors, 16 mini brains connected, a jailbroken AI, negative citizen development (the dark side of technology abstraction), quantum computing, mimicking human touch, scaling taste and the future of search.
Power Of Clones: How Digital Twins Are Shaping The Future
Digital twins combine IoT sensors, machine learning and cloud computing to create dynamic digital simulations of physical systems and processes.
Using contact microphones as tactile sensors for robot manipulation
