Let's go forward in time to the year 2050, and bear in mind that it is only 33 years from now.

Your televisions / screens will know what you like and change channels as you enter the room, your car will be driverless, and digital assistants or Robots will ensure that your household runs smoothly. I am sure we can all come up with some ideas of what the future will be like. One thing is for sure though… AI and Robots are a part of our future.

Moore's law

Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. The observation is named after Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, whose 1965 paper described a doubling every year in the number of components per integrated circuit and projected this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade.

Well, if we look back around 20 years, we are in the dotcom boom or bubble. It was really an exciting time to live, just as we are in the middle of another technology evolution, which will surely be mentioned in history. Why do I want to look 20 years back? Well that was before Google and very long before Facebook. So much has changed in the past 20 years, and we are now standing before the most exciting times of all of our lifetimes.

In my opinion, work as we know it will become redundant for most of us, as we will have smart cities, smart factories and yes sure, it will need some human oversight. But these cities and factories will be able to make decisions based on historic data. And that is where AI will in my opinion become part of our future.

Companies like Amazon and Google are lying the foundation with things like Alexa and Google Home. These devices are the forerunners of some exciting technologies and devices.

I have written before about the Healthcare industry, which will probably be influenced in the not too distant future. Robots or Machines, will be much more accurate at operating patients than any human can be. The healthcare industry is set for change, as is the financial industry and many others.

For example:

Leading media companies are already using "AI journalists' to produce simple economics and sports stories from data and templates created by their human counterparts.

Blondeau's firm Sentient Technologies has already successfully used AI traders in the financial markets.

In partnership with US retailer Shoes.com, it created an interactive "smart shopper", which uses an algorithm that picks up information from gauging not just what you like, but what you don't, offering suggestions in the way a real retail assistant would.

In healthcare, the firm worked with America's MIT to invent an AI nurse able to assess patterns in blood pressure data from thousands of patients to correctly identify those developing sepsis - a catastrophic immune reaction - 30 minutes before the outward onset of the condition more than 90 percent of the time in trials.

"It's a critical window that doctors say gives them the extra time to save lives," Blondeau says, but concedes that bringing such concepts to the masses is difficult.

"The challenge is to pass to market because of regulations but also because people have an intrinsic belief you can trust a doctor, but will they trust a machine?" he adds.

If things are happening so fast now already, what will the world look like in 30 Years from now?

Happy Steeming!
