Imagine a world where your wearable monitors brain waves to optimize peak performance, or where chatting with a super general-purpose AI feels as natural as texting a friend. Last Thursday, the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) in the Chinese mainland unveiled its list of nearly 300 next-generation information engineering and AI technologies set to become global hotspots over the next 5 to 10 years.
The CAE's roadmap breaks down into three core categories:
- Information Engineering Innovations (163 techs): 6G communication, multimodal large-scale AI models, super general-purpose agents.
- Industry Transformation & Integration (122 techs): computational neuroscience, smart wearables, AI-assisted drug design.
- Everyday AI Hotspots (12 techs): large AI model technologies, intelligent unmanned systems, embodied intelligence.
CAE academician Yu Shaohua notes this list aims to spark public curiosity about AI's societal impacts and guide strategic development plans. For young innovators, entrepreneurs, and digital nomads alike, it's a window into the next wave of AI-driven change.
From reshaping entire industries to powering daily life, these emerging technologies will define the decade ahead. Which AI breakthrough will you follow?
