Chennai: IBM unveiled its eighth annual “IBM 5 in 5”; a list of innovations that have the potential to change the way people live, work and interact with each other within the next five years. IBM compiles its 5 in 5 based on market trends and exciting innovations coming from its own research labs around the world. The company says over time the computers will get smarter and more customized through people and device interactions, helping in solving the problems that were previously thought unsolvable. Here are those five predictions that will define our future.
The city will help you live in it
IBM says that, by 2030, the towns and cities of the world will make up 80 percent of urban community and by 2050, seven out of every 10 people will be a city dweller. To deal with that growth, cities will have to understand in real-time how billions of events occur as computers learn to understand what people need, what they like, what they do, and how they move from place to place. The company predicts cities will analyze the information provided by the citizens to place recourses where they are needed. The advantage of such a connected city is that the feedback in instantaneous and the government can be much more responsive.
A digital guardian will protect you online
In five years, IBM envisions a digital guardian that will be trained to focus on the people and items it is entrusted with. This will then sort through all the situational and historical data to verify a person’s identity on different devices. “It looks at your behavior with a device and spots something anomalous. It screams when there is something out of the norm.” said Meyerson.
Doctors will use your DNA to keep you well
IBM wants computer to help doctors understand how a tumor affects patient down to their DNA. They will then be able to come up with the medication that will best work against cancer. “The ability to correlate a person’s DNA against the results of treatment with a certain protocol could be a huge breakthrough,” said Meyerson, the vice president of innovation at IBM.
The Classroom will learn you
IBM believes the classrooms of tomorrow will give educators the tools that enable them to learn about the students and also provide them with tailor-made curriculum right from kindergarten to high school. Sophisticated analytics delivered over the cloud will help teachers make decisions about which students are at risk, their roadblocks, and the way to help them.
