Final Step - AI looks toward a future where computers do more than process information. They communicate with people personally, visually, verbally, and adaptively.
For many years, computers mainly received information from people and returned fixed results, screens, or stored media. Rick Baker's original vision was different.
The computer would analyze information from the person, compare it with preferred or expert information, and then respond with a personalized audio-visual presentation.
That shift moves the computer closer to the role of a human expert who can talk, show, compare, explain, and guide.
Artificial intelligence now makes this vision much more powerful. AI systems can help interpret data, identify differences, select relevant feedback, and support more adaptive forms of learning and instruction.
When combined with cameras, MEMS sensors, wearable devices, high-speed communication, graphics, and audio systems, AI can help create guidance that is specific to the individual user.
The final step is not simply making computers faster or more powerful. It is making them more personally useful to people.
Final Step - AI presents the idea that computers can become far more interactive when they are able to generate personalized audio-visual feedback that responds to the needs, actions, and circumstances of each person.
