Smart homes are not a particularly new concept — the related term ‘smart house’ was first coined in 1984 by the American Association of Home Builders.
But the way in which smart homes operate is changing substantially – and will even more so over the next 50 years, according to Chat GPT.
The artificial intelligence chatbot has painted a clear picture on what Aussies may expect in their homes in the year 2074 and the result is sure to raise a few eyebrows.
Here’s what you can expect the typical Aussie home to look like in 50 years time, according to AI.
Exterior
Sleek, minimalist architecture will be the way forward, according to AI. Homes will be built from energy-efficient materials and come with walls made from smart glass that adjusts its opacity based on sunlight.
Solar panels will be integrated into the roof and possibly on walls, alongside small wind turbines to harness renewable energy.
Walls will be adorned with vertical gardens and eco-friendly landscaping with hydroponic systems.
2074 will also be the year of electric, self-driving cars and of course smart driveways, equipped with charging stations and automated car ports.
Interior
If you thought your future home’s exterior is going to be impressive, wait till you step inside.
According to AI, the typical Aussie home of 2074 will not only be fully automated but will come with robotic assistants handling everyday household tasks.
Homes will also be decked out with advanced appliances, including voice-controlled systems for lighting, climate control, and entertainment and augmented reality surfaces for displays and interactive walls.
Kitchens will be equipped with water-efficient systems and smart waste disposal. Most impressively, they will also come with cooking robots, personalised AI for family members, and a focus on health and sustainability.
Tech Innovations
If you haven’t guessed by now, future tech will dictate how we live and enjoy our homes in the year 2074.
This includes integrated 5G or beyond for fast data transmission and health-monitoring systems built into our home to track wellness and automatically adjust conditions based on the family’s needs.
Holographic entertainment systems and virtual reality spaces for work and leisure will also be a common feature, according to AI.
What ever the future holds, AI had us at no more household chores!
