The next frontier: sensory modalities currently in research that will expand AI's perceptual abilities. Ericsson predicts 2030 as the year of the "Internet of Senses."
Digitizing tactile sensations for robotics, VR, and prosthetics. Enabling AI to understand and simulate touch.
Digital scent technology for food, healthcare, and immersive experiences. Early research in molecular detection.
Digital taste simulation for food science, medical applications, and virtual dining experiences.
Body position and movement sensing. Critical for robotics, rehabilitation, and embodied AI.
Internal body sensing: heartbeat, breathing, hunger, temperature. Foundation for health AI.
Direct neural interfaces for thought-based control, sensory restoration, and cognitive enhancement.
Sensing radio waves, magnetic fields, and electrical signals invisible to humans.
Understanding and predicting molecular structures, drug interactions, and chemical reactions.
Human intelligence is inherently multimodal. We don't just process text—we see, hear, touch, smell, and sense our bodies in space. The expansion of AI modalities is not just about adding features; it's about moving toward systems that understand the world as richly as we do.
Current research suggests that truly general AI will need to integrate information across all sensory modalities, understanding how sight relates to sound, how touch informs movement, and how internal states affect cognition. The journey from text-only GPT to omni-modal systems is just the beginning.
