The most influential cultural figures who most accurately predicted how we live today are named in a new list.
According to research, George Orwell, Kate Bush, and David Bowie have been named among the most influential cultural figures who most accurately predicted how we live today. Kate Bush, Roald Dahl, and Ross from Friends, who in a poll of 2, 000 adults, made the top ten list in 1999 said AI would be smarter than humans by 2030.
Other popular figures included Ridley Scott and Captain Kirk, who used to communicate via computers, foldable tablets, and other media as far back as the 1960s. The director’s groundbreaking 1982 film Blade Runner is still regarded as a cutting-edge example of technological foresight.
The study was funded by Samsung for its “Visionary Hall of Fame,” and Prince and Bjork are the top 10 musicians who predicted online dating and virtual relationships in their album, 1999, which was released over 40 years ago.
While Bjork foresaw the rise of social media in the 1990s and 2000s, predicting that technology wouldn’t just be functional, it would become deeply personal.
In a brand-new countdown video that reveals the list’s visionaries, Fearne Cotton has collaborated with the company as part of their “Can Your Phone Do This” campaign, which draws attention to Galaxy AI’s potential and goes back to her chart show roots.
These ten icons “made the future a reality,” according to the broadcaster and author. It’s amazing to see that the future they had in mind is right now in our hands.
According to the research, self-driving cars (39%) topped the list of real-world innovations that people remember seeing before they became a reality.
Next up were voice assistants (28%), video calling (33%), and artificial intelligence (39%), as well as smart watches (22%), and artificial intelligence (33%).
Those polled were also quizzed on their use of AI apps or assistants, with 24% using these on their phones daily. Many use them to ask factual questions (43%), compose messages or emails (22%), and edit photos and videos (22%).
Even among the most popular AI functions, 23% of them include speech or text translation. Nearly seven out ten (68%) of respondents) agreed that using modern, AI-powered smartphones made you feel like you were carrying the future.
With over half of the claim made by Samsung’s Annika Bizon, AI is credited with boosting general knowledge and creativity, Brits are shocked that these once-futuristic predictions are now a part of daily life.
With Galaxy AI, we are actively shaping what comes next, not just keeping up with the predictions of contemporary visionaries.
We’re transforming the possibilities of tomorrow into the realities of today, because holding the future in your hands means being more than just the opposite of the curve; you define it.
