Area 2 – Ambient Augmented Humans The ambient is likely to become much more interactive, flexible and aware. As such it can morph to fit the needs of the person in that ambient. Part of this morphing, thanks to smart materials, will occur at object level, part, thank to embedded …

A Delphi Exercise was run to probe a number of people, with different roots in terms of education and experience, in the several areas addressed by the Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Initiative. It was executed in two phases, as usual, first asking answers and comments to the various questions and then …

As we were revising the second Symbiotic Autonomous Systems White Paper the authors were in disagreement on the Turing test having been passed. Now, the very fact that such a discussion is taking place points out 2 things: computers (software) have progressed to the point that it may be debatable …

Symbiotic shared education The shift from owning knowledge to owing the capability to access knowledge and engage the knowledge  owner to leverage on that for the task at hand is taking us into the era of symbiotic shared education. Assuming that it will be possible to engage the required knowledge, …

Digital twins are becoming more and more pervasive, I know, yet I was surprised seeing one loaded on a train in Verona. As you can see in the photo I took there was a yellow container with the sign: “Rail 3D Asset Digital Twin”. Intriguing. I did some investigation on …

As the Symbiotic Autonomous System Initiative second White Paper is being finalised some thoughts on the future of education have been consolidated and I am sharing them here, looking for comments. As you can see some of these are quite disruptive… The shift towards an intelligent ambient and the emergence …

The exchange of thoughts within the Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Initiative (SAS) is increasing rapidly as we get close the two workshops, one next week in Japan focusing more on the autonomous aspects (and robotics) in conjunction with SMC 2018 and the other on October 30th in San Diego focusing on technological …

PWC has released a report where it analyses the potential effect of automation on tasks involved in 200,000 jobs in 29 Countries. It makes for an interesting reading. Also, it contains an animated figure allowing you to explore the impact at different time in each of those 29 Countries. I …

As part of the Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Initiative I was looking this week end to the result of the first round of a Delphi exercise that has been set up to investigate various aspects in the evolution of Symbiotic Autonomous Systems over the next 30 years. Looking at the (open) …

Part of the WEF 2018 Future of Jobs Report looks at what “new” skills will be of increasing importance in 2022. In a way this is also telling what are the areas where machine (and software) will not have exceeded human’s capability. So, let’s take a look: Creativity, originality and …
