Beyond ChatGPT And Nvidia: 3 Technologies Wall Street May Have To Reprice Before 2026 Ends

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs Friday as Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft projected 2026 AI spending above $700 billion.

➤ Major tech companies are significantly increasing AI spending, shifting focus from chatbots to infrastructure like data centers, chips, and cloud services. ➤ Key emerging technologies include AI infrastructure, robot intelligence (robotics), and tokenized securities, with companies like Google, Meta, and Computershare making significant moves. ➤ Despite high investment, Wall Street is demanding clearer proof of revenue generation and market adoption for these technologies, with regulatory hurdles and cost concerns remaining significant.

When people are like "I wanna have my own personal robot"—

You know there are like fifteen movies that explain why that's a bad idea, right?

Like when someone has the idea of wanting a pet dinosaur—Come on, there's like six movies that show why bringing back dinosaurs is NOT a good idea.

CellRobots: A Hundred Robots in One

IN BRIEF

CellRobot is a new Kickstarter project consisting of a modular robotic system that can be used to create hundreds of different robots

FUTURE OF MODULAR ROBOTICS

When building a robot, many engineers or scientists think of assembling countless different components that have to be put together in specific configurations. That may all change with CellRobot, a new Kickstarter campaign consisting of robotic cells that can be assembled into a broad range of modular robots. Each spherical robotic cell has a 360-degree angle sensor, servo motor, and microcontroller. It also has a round snap joint system to connect to other cells.

CELLROBOT

All CellRobots have a “heart” that functions as a power supply and communication hub. It has a charge port, a speaker, a power indicator, a screen, and the round snap-twist connectors. CellRobots also has accessory parts such as wheels, spotlights, and a camera. They can be controlled with an app via Bluetooth using the user’s smartphone. The app can show how to build or control a robot using “guide mode”, or allow the freedom to create custom designs using “custom mode.” All the designs can be shared with other users as they add their own creations to the community collection. Right now the KEYi team is still seeking more funding to cover the cost of larger-scale manufacturing and further app development.

New AI can predict your intentions by analyzing previous actions

IN BRIEF

Based on a mathematical algorithm, bioengineers developed a “psychic robot” that can predict what a person will do next.

ADVANCED ALGORITHM

Using a mathematical algorithm, bioengineers from the University of Illinois in Chicago have come up with an AI that can estimate a person’s intents by analyzing previous actions. In an experiment, research subjects reached for an object on a virtual desk, but their hand was pushed in the opposite direction. These actions were tracked and analyzed by the researchers, leading to the development of an advanced algorithm that predicted the movement intended by the subject’s hand. The algorithm could still determine the way the person wanted to move despite the interruption in the action. “We call it a psychic robot,” says Justin Horowitz, first author of the study published in the journal PLOS ONE. “If you know how someone is moving and what the disturbance is, you can tell the underlying intent.”

REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS

The algorithm developed by the researchers could have many useful real life applications. One area is the advancement in “smart” prosthetics where stroke patients suffering from tremors or muscle spasms could be aided by the algorithm to calculate their intents and help them complete their action smoothly even with the physical shaking. The algorithm could also be used to make semi-autonomous vehicles safer such as when a car goes out of control, the algorithm could correct its course by analyzing the driver’s previous actions. Horowitz explains: “The computer has extra sensors and processes information so much faster than I can react. If the car can tell where I mean to go, it can drive itself there. But it has to know which movements of the wheel represent my intention, and which are responses to an environment that’s already changed.”

Robotic Intelligence Could End Mankind

“The development of full intelligence could spell the end of human race” said Prof Stephen Hawking eminent scientist and author, in an interview with BBC.

“It would take off on its own, and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans who are limited by slow biological evolution couldn’t compete,and would be superseded.” he added.

How can we prepare our children to face this future?
