Note<br />
The future is here and we can see<br />
it everywhere. From the advanced<br />
technology that helps us easily<br />
navigate our way around the world<br />
to the robotic technology we’re<br />
using to make everyday life more<br />
efficient. No more waiting lines, no<br />
more harsh and awkward human<br />
interactions from offices and<br />
definitely a faster way to fix things<br />
and heal people. Yes, the future<br />
is here and we’re benefiting from<br />
all the hard work engineers have<br />
devoted to making it all happen.<br />
In this issue, we bring you different<br />
stories about how the world<br />
interacts with robots and artificial<br />
intelligence. Learn more about<br />
cities that are setting an example<br />
on today’s renewable-energy-driven<br />
technologies and machines that can<br />
work for the human race. Aren’t you<br />
excited with what more engineers<br />
can do for us now?<br />
Whatever you need, there’s an<br />
artificial intelligence program ready<br />
to serve you. May it be one push of<br />
a button or just one word uttered,<br />
today’s AI has fully advanced and<br />
developed into a machine that can<br />
think like a human. Come to think<br />
of it, there are robots out there that<br />
looks just like a real person. Is this<br />
a good thing or a bad thing for<br />
the human race? I’ll let you be the<br />
judge of that. A lot of experts have<br />
different opinions on this matter<br />
but one thing’s for sure, the world<br />
may no longer be a place for only<br />
humans and animals.<br />
Let’s talk about futuristic cities, too.<br />
While we can’t deny that majority of<br />
today’s people are poverty-stricken,<br />
there are rising cities and welldeveloped<br />
places that have been<br />
labeled as the cities of the future.<br />
We’re not just talking about highrise<br />
establishments here. We’re<br />
seeing cities with the most advanced<br />
technologies available to all of its<br />
citizens. We’re talking about the use<br />
of renewable energy to power these<br />
places, which leads to a cleaner and<br />
safer environments to live in. One<br />
example of these projects is what<br />
Masdar has accomplished so far<br />
in Masdar City. We’re giving you<br />
an exclusive interview with the<br />
company’s CEO on our cover story<br />
to let you know what exactly is the<br />
company up to and how they can<br />
set an example for other cities and<br />
countries to follow.<br />
As engineers, we’ll be taking on a<br />
crucial job in providing the future<br />
generation a place where they can<br />
thrive more using the artificial<br />
intelligence programs we’ll be<br />
developing. It is our responsibility<br />
to give them a place to live where<br />
we can teach them that anything is<br />
possible - something we’re tacking<br />
on as well. Futuristic cities? Robots<br />
that can follow our every demand?<br />
Who knew that this day would<br />
come? The engineers in the past<br />
did. The engineers today believe<br />
that as well. Let’s set an example for<br />
the future engineers to think that as<br />
well.
