Future technologies, without the forecasts

Upcoming Future Technologies

These are names of technologies that have been discussed in public. A name is not a forecast, and a company description is not proof of a result.

Deep learning models

A deep learning model is trained on data through a neural network with several layers. Some of these models are used to generate text or images. The output still has to be checked.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is OpenAI’s chat product. It writes a reply from a prompt. It does not look up a guaranteed answer the way a library does.

Image generation

Image tools turn a written description into a picture. DALL·E was an early OpenAI image model. The product on OpenAI’s site has changed since this page was first written, so use the current page rather than an old model name.

GANs

A generative adversarial network uses two neural networks, one trying to create a sample and the other trying to tell created samples from real ones. The method has been used for images, video, and voice.

Necrobotics

Necrobotics is a research idea that uses the body of a dead insect as a mechanical part. It is a lab topic, not a product you buy.

Xenotransplantation

Xenotransplantation means placing cells, tissue, or an organ from an animal into a person. It is a medical procedure under clinical rules, not a home treatment.

Direct air capture

Direct air capture takes carbon dioxide from the air. Projects then store that gas or use it. Whether a particular plant does this at a useful scale is a fact about that plant, not a general promise.

Neurochips

A neural interface is a device meant to read or stimulate brain activity. Neuralink is one company working on an implant. An implant is surgery, done by clinicians, not something a reader sets up.

Solein

Solein is a protein Solar Foods says it makes with a fermentation process that uses air and electricity. That is the company’s description of its own product.
