Intel chief technology officer: the gap between man and machine intelligence will disappear in 2050

On June 23, August 21, at the Intel Information Technology Summit, Intel chief technology officer Justin looked forward to the exciting computing future at the summit. He believed that by 2050, technology will bring machine intelligence closer to human intelligence.   In his keynote speech today, Justin predicts that social interaction, robotics, and the ability of computers to perceive the real world will be greatly improved. Justin said intel's Research Laboratory has begun to focus on man-machine interfaces to study the future computing performance needs of some faster-than-expected changes.   "The computing industry is moving forward at an unimaginable rate 40 years ago," says Justin. Some people think that we may be stepping into a turning point in technological progress to achieve exponential acceleration, and in the near future, machine reasoning capabilities may even surpass human beings ."   Wireless Power Supply: Cut the last "tail"   Imagine bringing a laptop into an airport or room. It no longer needs battery power, but can charge the battery! According to the principles proposed by physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Intel researchers have been studying wireless resonance energy link (wrel) technology. Justin demonstrated how to light a 60-watt lightbulb without any plug or wire, which can fully meet the power needs of General laptops.   The charm of wrel lies in its safe and efficient wireless power supply. This technology relies on a group of strongly coupled resonator, working in a way similar to a well-trained singer who breaks a glass with a voice. When the natural frequency of receiving the resonator is met, the energy will be effectively absorbed. Its principle is the same as that of glass absorption, which conforms to its natural frequency. If this technology is enabled, the laptop can charge the battery just a few feet away from the transmitter comments. Although there are still many engineering challenges to solve, Intel researchers hope to find a way to remove the last line of the mobile device, and to achieve wireless power supply for the Intel Platform one day in the future.   Programmable substances: computers with random shapes   Intel researchers are also studying how to use millions of tiny intelligent components called catom to make materials that can change shapes. If it is used to replace existing materials used by components such as the housing, display, and keyboard of a computing device, this technology can change the physical shape of the device to adapt to specific usage. For example, when a mobile computer needs to be placed in a pocket, the volume of the mobile computer can be reduced, and it can become the shape of the headset when used as a mobile phone, when you browse the Internet or watch movies, the shape will become bigger and more smooth, and the keyboard will be easy to use.   Justin believes that although the entire exploratory research process will be hard, it is still moving forward steadily. For the first time, he demonstrated the use of optical etching technology, which is now used to produce silicon chips, to create a Novel Micro-silicon hemisphere technology. This micro-silicon hemisphere is one of the basic construction modules for implementing functional catom intelligent components, which can more easily integrate necessary computing and mechanical components into a micro-encapsulation of less than 1mm. This technology meets the requirements of today's mass production and is expected to be used in the future for mass production of catom intelligent parts.   Dr. michaelgarner, Project Manager of Intel's new materials road map, came to the stage and discussed with Justin the importance of continuous innovation in production technology, allowing Moore's Law to continue leading industry progress over the next decade or longer. In addition, Intel is studying how to transition from a plane transistor to a 3D transistor and use composite semiconductors to replace the silicon in the current transistor channel. Looking forward to the future, Intel is still researching and exploring various non-electronic charge-based Microelectronics technologies to replace existing CMOS technologies in the future.   Robots: from factory workshops to home kitchens   Currently, robots are mainly used in factories to repeatedly execute single tasks and screw. Justin believes that in order to make robots more personalized, robots need to move and operate objects in chaotic and dynamic human environments, and perceive and recognize the movements in the dynamic physical world to recognize the things around them, and learn to adapt to the new environment. Justin demonstrated two prototype robots developed at Intel research labs. One robot demonstrates the electric field pre-contact set on the robot's hand. This is a novel sensing method used by fish instead of humans, therefore, robots can "perceive" objects before they are exposed to them. Another demonstration is a completely autonomous mobile operating robot that uses advanced action planning, operations, perception, and artificial intelligence, it can recognize faces, understand and execute commands such as "Please clean up these messy things.   Robots are becoming more and more like humans. Justin says he believes there will be more innovations to further promote human-computer interaction. Randybreen, chief product officer of Emotiv Systems, came on stage and presented together with Justin the EPOC * headphones they developed. This emotiveepoc headset can recognize brainwave patterns, process them in real time, and transmit users' conscious or unconscious thoughts to games, such as facial expressions, conscious actions, or emotions. A user with this headset needs to smile or raise an object in his mind, and the game will have a corresponding unit to perform these actions. With 16 sensors on the headset, EPOC can identify over 30 different "subconscious ".
