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.

According to futurist Tracey Follows, how will “AI
teachers” function in the year 2050?

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.

Analyze the statements below based on the information presented in the text and
mark T, if true, or F, if false.
( ) Flat design is minimalist, and usually uses only two colors per design.
( ) Both styles can coexist: an app with a flat design may still incorporate skeuomorphic elements in some of its features.
( ) Due to the evolution of technology, flat design became a much more effective way to connect digital users to the real world.
( ) Modern digital design is not only about skeuomorphism or flat design. It includes concepts such as neumorphism and glassmorphism.
The correct order of filling in the parentheses, from top to bottom, is:
