AI teachers and cybernetics - what could the world look like
in 2050?
Laura Cress - Technology reporter
The last 25 years has seen some mind-bending
technological changes. At the start of the century, most
computers connected to the internet with noisy dial-up
connections, Netflix was an online DVD rental company, and
the vast majority of people hadn't even heard of a smartphone.
Fast forward two and a half decades, and innovations in AI,
robotics and much else besides are emerging at an incredible
rate. So we decided to ask experts what the next 25 years could
bring. Here are their predictions for the technology we'll be
using by 2050 - and how it could reshape our lives.
Merging humans and machines
Science fiction set in the 2050s is full of examples of
humans using technological enhancements to feel fitter, happier
and more productive. In the 2000 hit game Deus Ex - set in 2052
- the player can inject themselves with tiny robots called
“nanites”. These microscopic robots manipulate matter on
atomic levels, giving superhuman abilities such as enhanced
speed and the ability to see in the dark. It sounds like something
from the distant future, but nanotechnology - engineering at a
scale of millionths of a millimetre - is already used in lots of
everyday real-life tech. In fact, it is powering the way you are
reading these very words right now - every smartphone or
computer is run by a central chip made up of billions of tiny
transistors - electrical components built on a nanoscale to speed
up data processing. Professor Steven Bramwell at the London
Centre for Nanotechnology told the BBC by 2050 we should
expect the lines between machines, electronics and biology to
be “significantly blurred”. That means we could see
nanotechnology implants by then - but more to “monitor your
health or aid communication” rather than to appear invisible, as
in Deus Ex. Medicine could also make common use of
machines at a nanometre scale to “deliver drugs to exactly
where they need to go”, said Professor Bramwell. Cybernetics
professor Kevin Warwick is equally interested in studying
augmentations, going one step further than most. In 1998 he
became the first human to have a microchip implanted into his
nervous system, earning him the title “Captain Cyborg”.
Professor Warwick believes by 2050, advancements in
cybernetics - the science studying the links between natural and
mechanical systems - could lead to trailblazing treatments for
diseases. He predicts the use of “deep brain electronic
stimulation” as a partial treatment for some conditions such as
schizophrenia, rather than medicine. He adds it is likely we'll
see more cybernetic enhancements of the kind he has already
trialled himself, so that “your brain and body can be in different
places”. And what if we wanted to test out how the latest
enhancement, or even new diet worked on our bodies, without
any risks of experiencing the side effects? Professor Roger
Highfield, Science Director of the Science Museum, believes
“digital twins” - virtual versions of a physical object, updated
using real time data - could become a regular feature in our
lives. He imagines a world where each of us could have
“thousands of simplified twins”, using them to explore how
“different medications or lifestyle changes affect your unique
biology”. In other words, we could preview our futures before
we live them.
The next generation of AI
Many technology firms, including Google and IBM, are
currently locked in a multi-billion dollar race to revolutionise
how we push fields like AI even further - in the form
of quantum computing. Quantum computers are machines
which can do very complex calculations at incredibly fast
speeds - for example, simulating molecular interactions to
design new drugs faster. In January 2025, Jensen Huang - boss
of the leading chip firm Nvidia - said he believed “very useful”
quantum computing would come in 20 years. AI itself will
undoubtedly continue to loom large in our society as we journey
towards the half century mark. Futurist and author Tracey
Follows, who helped write a White Paper on UK education in
2050, believes learning will take place across “virtual and
physical realities” using AI teachers which “adjust in real time”.
Rather than textbooks, she predicts children will use
“immersive simulations”. Meanwhile, education will be less
standardised, with each child's individual DNA or biometric
data studied to understand how they learn best.

Based on the “quadro organizador” concepts of
contemporary English teaching, how does the text
suggest the future of education will change regarding
student data?

currently locked in a multi-billion dollar race to revolutionise
how we push fields like AI even further - in the form
of quantum computing. Quantum computers are machines
which can do very complex calculations at incredibly fast
speeds - for example, simulating molecular interactions to
design new drugs faster. In January 2025, Jensen Huang - boss
of the leading chip firm Nvidia - said he believed “very useful”
quantum computing would come in 20 years. AI itself will
undoubtedly continue to loom large in our society as we journey
towards the half century mark. Futurist and author Tracey
Follows, who helped write a White Paper on UK education in
2050, believes learning will take place across “virtual and
physical realities” using AI teachers which “adjust in real time”.
Rather than textbooks, she predicts children will use
“immersive simulations”. Meanwhile, education will be less
standardised, with each child's individual DNA or biometric
data studied to understand how they learn best.

In Brazil, four in ten teenagers face school bullying
In Brazil, four out of ten students aged 13 to 17 say they have already been
victims of bullying, and 27.2 percent in this age group have suffered some
form of humiliation two or more times.
The data, released this week, are based on testimonies collected in 2024
in schools across Brazil by the Brazilian government’s statistics agency
IBGE as part of the National School Health Survey (PeNSE).
Compared to the previous survey, conducted in 2019, there was a 0.7
percentage point increase in the total number of students who reported
having suffered bullying. The proportion of students who experienced it at
least twice rose by more than 4 percentage points, Marco Andreazzi, the
research manager, emphasized.
“Bullying is already characterized as something persistent, intermittent…
And here we observe an upward trend, indicating that more students have
begun to experience repeated situations of violence,” Andreazzi said.
The researcher stressed that “the number of those who suffer bullying
remains practically the same; however, the persistence and intensity of the
episodes have increased.”
Appearance, race, gender
Bullied students told researchers that their facial features or hair were the
main targets of bullying, accounting for 30.2 percent of cases.
Next is body appearance, accounting for 24.7 percent, followed by bullying
related to color or race, reported by 10.6 percent.
“There is also a high percentage - 26.3 percent - of students who say the
bullying had no reason. That is, many of those who suffer do not know
why, and this is natural, since bullying occurs collectively and the victim
does not necessarily perceive a reason for it. On the contrary, they feel
completely wronged,” the research manager noted.
The research found that girls are the most affected - 43.3 percent have
experienced bullying, compared to 37.3 percent of boys.
Furthermore, 30.1 percent of female adolescent students reported feeling
humiliated by teasing from classmates two or more times. This proportion
is nearly 6 percentage points higher than among male students.
Profile of the aggressors
Data on those who commit bullying show an inverse pattern: 13.7 percent
of students reported having engaged in some form of violence - 16.5
percent of boys and 10.9 percent of girls.
IBGE also asked about the reasons for the aggression, and once again,
facial features, hair, body type, and skin color or race were the most
frequently cited.
However, some significant differences emerged in relation to victims’
reports. For example, 12.1 percent of perpetrators said they engaged in
bullying because of their classmates’ gender or sexual orientation, while
only 6.4 percent of victims identified this as a motive for the violence.
A similar pattern emerged regarding disability: while 7.6 percent of
perpetrators acknowledged engaging in bullying for this reason, only 2.6
percent of victims associated the attacks with this characteristic.
For researchers, this may indicate that many victims prefer to remain silent
about the circumstances for fear of being stigmatized.
