The intelligence of smartphones is now being crafted by software developers who also work on artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and learning algorithms. As platform companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft try to incorporate the most talented software developers into their ecosystem, these algorithms are set to step into a new age over the coming period.
Thanks to artificial intelligence and learning algorithms the job of software developers today is easier now compared to those who developed algorithms a decade ago.
Now it's relatively easy to write algorithms, but is harder to build new architecture, because, the projections of the algorithms on life should be found before the software.
In the 2030s, software developers of the 90s will be treated like stoneworkers who could not figure out how they could carry tons of stones used in the Egyptian pyramids. The newer generation will ask, "Why did they work so hard when there was artificial intelligence?"
Autopilot-like software
Now, phones get their intelligence from next generation software technology, as thousands of new applications are being made by the "pyramid workers of the digital age."
But, in 10-15 years' time, software developers will not have to specialize as much as they do today. Now, the roots of the digital age are being written and the learning algorithms that sprout from these roots will help us produce much quicker solutions in the future.
So, in fact, the older generation of software developers might just look at the new generation and say, "they do not know anything about this." Just like pilots who used to fly planes using only mechanical parts compared to those who cannot move without autopilot today. That is why the software industry is undergoing a major transformation.
Predicting everything
How will software that knows how we will get to the office from home when we get into our cars today show us the depths of our privacy tomorrow? Prepare for a journey toward a future that you can hardly imagine. Just remember that the pros and cons of society should be calculated properly with social scientists in the sense of changing privacy. Software that wants to make accurate estimates has to have more intimate information about you. Privacy is always whetting appetite like a dessert wrapped around free internet services.
Apple to announce future plans on June 5
Following Microsoft and Google, Apple will bring software developers together in San Francisco next week for the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event. The company is expected to announce its future plans for the iOS and MacOS platforms. In fact, while each platform is expanding its strengths, they also aim to increase the applications and services on the artificial intelligence, internet of things (IoT) and cloud technology. Moreover, the new operating system will not only be the iPhone, but also the updated software for all other devices like iPad, MacBook and Apple Watch will be displayed. In the meantime, new ventures will have the opportunity to see how to update their applications.
Phone's mind one step ahead
Regardless of the operating system, be it Android, iOS or Windows, smartphones know the user with applications that use artificial intelligence. Smartphones provide remote control service at home, and navigation and office support on the road.
Smartphones continue to be the steering wheel of our lives. Now, phones are also used for mobile health, payment, education, finding addresses, listening to music, or watching movies other than their main task of communication. All this talent changes our new life.
We see during trade shows that smartphone designs are all similar to each other. The most valuable thing that creates different experiences is the software. Although Apple's design inspires other companies today, the iOS operating system allows the user to have different experiences.
Software effect
The experience we have while using a smartphone is changed by the software rather than the hardware. The applications and operating systems are renewed and crafted with artificial intelligence and learning algorithms. All platforms renew new technologies with the power of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Otherwise, what giants like Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft can do alone is very limited.
Samsung is designing unique screens in the sense of engineering. But the ability to create operating systems and platforms is the most important difference that cannot be copied. Behind most of the innovations that changed our lives in recent times lies software.
One step after
Artificial intelligence allows smart watch applications to send notifications that motivate you when you walk even with tiny steps. Moreover, by checking the weather data, the content of the message that is sent to you changes under specific weather conditions. The captured images and the human faces in the videos are activated in a search. In the past, such software used to be developed for thousands of dollars only by expert security firms. Now it's even possible to download it for a few dollars. Even they are given free of charge to those sharing their personal data in social media. However, these are still small steps in the fields of artificial intelligence.
