IBM Forum keynote speech - The dawn of the intelligent planet
(extract from the link)
So, let me highlight some of the basic technologies and infrastructures that need to be developed to bring about the “Intelligent Planet” in the foreseeable future:
(1) We need to develop massive, supercomputer-driven, global knowledge centers that manage all of the Earth’s open-source data globally, and analyze its content in an interdisciplinary and intercultural form.
(2) We must connect all these global knowledge centers, so that they can become a globally connected mash of knowledge depositories
(3) We must also develop a global mash of networked sensory devices and data extraction technologies that collect information of any kind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and transport such information in real time into the knowledge depositories
(4) We must develop the best AI solutions possible, to continually search our knowledge depositories for deep-rooted patterns and understandings that point to globally responsible opportunities and common planetary risks
(5) We must build access technologies that allow anyone at any time to access these analytical knowledge depositories and use its information at no cost, to allow human development independent from economical power
(6) We must build broadcast technologies that use a world-standard format, and continuously broadcasting streams of data and information, which include any type of risk or corrective information that may be vital to human development
(7) We must develop these solutions as global utility that remains free of charge, and free of all political and dogmatic influences
(8) All vital human services, such as global commerce, healthcare, education or even governance must become a global solution with local subsets
(9) All local machine intelligence must have full access to these automated global knowledge networks
(10) All global information must remain open-source knowledge, available to all members of this planet
Implementing these 10 points will be the vital base for the Intelligent Planet.
