The 2015 list of the greatest emerging technologies was published by Bernard Meyerson, chief innovation officer of IBM and chair of the World Economic Forums Meta-Council on Emerging Technologies.
IBM的首席創(chuàng)新官兼世界經(jīng)濟論壇新興技術(shù)跨界委員會主席伯納德·邁耶森發(fā)布了2015年最棒的新興技術(shù)榜單。
The annual list represents an effort to bring attention to the new technologies and to close the gaps in funding and regulation that often inhibit progress.
這份年度榜單著力于呼吁人們關注新興技術(shù),并彌補因資金和規(guī)則阻礙發(fā)展帶來的差距。
Here is the 2015 list:
以下是2015年榜單:
1. Fuel cell vehicles
燃料電池汽車
These cars will be powered by batteries more efficient and environmentally sound than electric and hydrocarbon-powered predecessors.
比起以前靠電力和碳氫化合物驅(qū)動的車輛,這些車將由更加高效且環(huán)保的電池驅(qū)動。
2. Next-generation robotics
下一代機器人技術(shù)
The next generation of robots will interact with humans and even enhance them, in the form of prosthetics.
下一代機器人將能夠和人類互動,甚至能用假肢擁抱人類。
3. Recyclable thermoset plastics
可循環(huán)利用熱固性塑料
A recyclable version of a plastic that formerly was not.
以前的塑料不可循環(huán)利用,現(xiàn)在有可循環(huán)利用的塑料了。
4. Precise genetic engineering techniques
精密基因工程技術(shù)
Techniques which will eliminate a lot of the risk associated with genetic engineering.
這項技術(shù)將會消除許多與基因工程有關的風險。
5. Additive manufacturing
增材制造
3D and even 4D printing for all sorts of products.
用三維甚至四維技術(shù)打印各種各樣的產(chǎn)品。
6. Emergent artificial intelligence
自然發(fā)生的人工智能
Making computers think like sentient beings, for purposes of industry.

8. “Sense and avoid” drones
能夠“感知和躲避”的無人機
Flying robots will be used for emergency and disaster situations.
飛行機器人將被應用于突發(fā)事件及災難情境。
9. Neuromorphic technology
神經(jīng)形態(tài)技術(shù)
Computer chips that process information more like a human brain does.
電腦芯片處理信息將會更加人性化——如同人類大腦一般。
10. Digital genome
數(shù)字化基因組
Digitizing humanitys genomes for medical purposes.
以醫(yī)學為目的將人類基因數(shù)字化。
