While not a recent innovation, the idea of smart homes was first defined with the term ‘smart house’ by the American Association of Home Builders in 1984.
The operation of smart homes is undergoing major shifts, and Chat GPT suggests that these changes will become even more pronounced over the next 50 years.
The AI chatbot has provided a vivid glimpse into what Australians could expect in their homes by 2074, and the predictions are bound to turn heads.
AI offers a sneak peek into what the future holds for the average Australian home in the next 50 years.
Outside Design
AI foresees a future of clean, minimalist architecture for homes, incorporating energy-efficient materials. Smart glass walls will become common, automatically shifting opacity to control the amount of sunlight that enters.
Solar energy will be harnessed through panels embedded in the roof and possibly the walls, with small wind turbines also contributing to energy generation.
The walls of homes will be decorated with lush vertical gardens and eco-conscious landscaping, incorporating hydroponic technology for sustainability.
In 2074, electric self-driving cars will be the norm, with smart driveways featuring charging stations and automated carports to accommodate them.
Inside Layout
The exterior of your future home may be striking, but the interior is where the real wow factor lies.
The AI vision for 2074 sees Aussie homes not just fully automated but also equipped with robotic assistants to take care of routine tasks.
In these homes, advanced appliances will include voice-activated controls for lighting, climate, and entertainment, along with augmented reality surfaces that enable interactive walls and displays.
Future kitchens will be outfitted with water-saving systems, intelligent waste management, and even cooking robots. They will also prioritize health and sustainability, with AI tailored to each family member’s needs.
Future Technology Advancements
By 2074, emerging technologies are projected to significantly shape the way individuals live and experience their homes.
Seamless 5G or even more advanced networks for ultra-fast data transmission are expected, alongside integrated health-monitoring systems that track individual and family wellness and automatically adjust living conditions based on their needs.
Holographic entertainment setups and virtual reality spaces for both work and recreation are anticipated to become standard features.
Furthermore, advancements in AI technology already promise the automation of many household chores.
