- 🤖 Smartphones will be obsolete in 10 years, says Meta’s AI Chief
Good morning and welcome to the latest edition of neonpulse!
Today, we’re talking about the future of wearable technology 👀
Meta's Yann LeCun Predicts the End of Smartphones
Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, made a bold prediction that smartphones will become obsolete within the next 10-15 years, replaced by augmented reality glasses and bracelets equipped with intelligent virtual assistants. This forecast aligns with the trajectory of technological evolution, where wearable devices are expected to dominate human-device interactions in the near future.
LeCun envisions a future where individuals no longer rely on smartphones for daily tasks but instead utilize augmented reality glasses as their primary interface with digital assistants. This signifies a fundamental shift in how we interact with technology.
The announcement comes amidst Microsoft's unveiling of Phi-3, a compact language model designed to operate directly on smartphones, showcasing advancements in accessibility and convenience.
Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark's previous prediction further reinforces this narrative, suggesting that by 2030, smartphones may no longer dominate as the primary interface. Lundmark envisions a future where technological interfaces are seamlessly integrated into our bodies, revolutionizing human-device interactions.
Innovations like the Limitless AI Pendant and WIZPR Ring support this trend, leveraging AI to enhance user experiences while prioritizing data privacy and ethical considerations. While Humane AI spent the last year making the case that the Ai Pin will replace smartphones, allowing people to interact more with the real world, it received a mixed reaction.
Elon Musk's Neuralink represents the next stage in human-device communication, aiming to make electronic brain implants as commonplace as smartphones.
As we anticipate the gradual phasing out of smartphones, the emergence of wearable technology and brain-computer interfaces creates a future where human-device interactions are more intuitive, immersive, and integrated than ever before 👀
