Microchip implants? Bring 'em on I say!
Peter Cochrane: The threat of optimisation
The reason why Mother Nature and some civilisations enjoy longevity is down to their relative inefficiency
Peter Cochrane: Coronavirus as a change agent
Could the coronavirus outbreak instigate a broader change for the better in society? Professor Peter Cochrane believes it could
Peter Cochrane: Experts, damn experts

Peter Cochrane: Fake news, ignorance, and technology wars
State-backed cyber warfare is intended to sow confusion and disillusion people across the democratic world, writes Professor Peter Cochrane
Peter Cochrane: Technology is not a threat - people are!
Humanity faces a number of challenges that technology can overcome. Unfortunately, too many of the people in power are also the most ignorant
Peter Cochrane: The General Election and the UK's full-fibre failures
The UK could have had full-fibre 20 years ago, but for government short-sightedness. But this election's fibre promises should be treated with scepticism, writes Professor Peter Cochrane
Peter Cochrane: The future of education - solving problems by thinking?
Education has become too focused on grades and exams, rather than actually learning and understanding, argues Professor Peter Cochrane
How Quantum technology could transform computing - perhaps…
There's still some time - and a number of challenges to overcome - before quantum computing becomes truly useful, reports Nic Fearn
Peter Cochrane: Non-linearity is the norm and defies simple thinking
Disciplines are becoming more specialised at a time when global challenges have become more complex. Solving them may require the non-linear calculations that only quantum computing can provide, says Professor Peter Cochrane
The outer limits? What will happen when microprocessors reach 'silicon plateau'?
As copper and silicon-based CPUs reach their physical limits, what is in the pipeline that will keep compute power growing? Nic Fearn investigates
Peter Cochrane: Is forgetting essential for learning?
Wouldn't it be great if you could remember everything you ever learnt, saw or heard? Actually, it wouldn't, writes Professor Peter Cochrane
Peter Cochrane: AI and the emergent properties of good, bad and evil
Forget Asimov's 'Three Laws of Robotics', robots will almost certainly go off the rails at some point in the future - but they still won't be as bad as human beings
Peter Cochrane: Much of what we're told about quantum computing is nonsense
Articles and presentations on quantum computing are often completely wrong, warns Professor Peter Cochrane
Peter Cochrane: Interfaces are hell. How can we make them better?
Getting to grips with a new user interface is one of life's biggest frustrations, says Professor Peter Cochrane. There must be something better
Peter Cochrane: AI, autonomous connectivity and machine-to-machine communications is the future of mobile - not folding screens
Smartphone makers may be obsessed with gimmicks, but it is AI and machine-to-machine communications that will drive the next tech revolution, argues Professor Peter Cochrane
Peter Cochrane: Is it even possible to properly test complex systems?
Systems have reached such a state of complexity that only AI can bring some kind of order, argues Professor Peter Cochrane
Peter Cochrane: Quantum computing - a return to analogue computers?
Quantum computers are neither stable enough nor powerful enough to achieve very much at all at the moment, warns Professor Peter Cochrane - but could one day provide a cure for cancer
