The 2015 list of the greatest emerging technologies was recently published by Bernard Meyerson, chief innovation officer of IBM and chair of the World Economic Forum’s Meta-Council on Emerging Technologies.

最近IBM的首席創(chuàng)新官兼世界經(jīng)濟論壇新興科技委員會主席伯納德·邁耶森發(fā)布了2015年最棒的新興技術清單。

The council, made of 18 technology gurus, uses its shared intelligence and discretion to identify the year’s most captivating, promising and interesting innovations. 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.

委員會由18位科技專家組成，群策群力鑒定了年度最有魅力、最有前途以及最有意思的創(chuàng)新技術。這份年度榜單著力于呼吁人們關注新興技術，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烴化合物驅動的車輛，這些車將由電池更加高效且環(huán)保地驅動。

2. Next-generation robotics

下一代機器人

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

可回收熱固性塑料

A recyclable version of a plastic that formerly was not.從前塑料不可回收，現(xiàn)在有可回收的版本了。

4. Precise genetic engineering techniques

精確基因工程技術

Techniques which will eliminate a lot of the risk associated with genetic engineering.這項技術將會排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. 3D——甚至4D——打印各種各樣的產(chǎn)品。

6. Emergent artificial intelligence

突發(fā)人工智能

Making computers think like sentient beings, for purposes of industry. 以生產(chǎn)為目的，使計算機如同眾生一樣思考。

7. Distributed manufacturing

分布式生產(chǎn)

A reversal of the industrial revolution that will see manufacturing decentralized, more local. 一項工業(yè)革命的逆轉——制造業(yè)分散——變得更加本土化。

8. “Sense and avoid” drones

具有“感應與躲避”功能的無人機

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

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 humanity’s genomes for medical purposes. 以醫(yī)學為目的將人類基因數(shù)字化。
