Prediction Accuracy
2/5
Predicted wearables, AI assistants, and physical implants augmenting humans. Physical augmentation (exoskeletons, Neuralink) remains experimental. Cognitive augmentation happened via LLM assistants, but that's a completely different mechanism than the 'embedded AI in wearables and implants' vision. The prediction described hardware-centric augmentation; reality was software-centric.
