As the era of Artificial Intelligence unfolds, technology is opening unprecedented horizons, transforming how we perceive and interact with the world—just as the Motorola DynaTAC and the first-generation iPhone once did. While one might debate whether those inventions made life more convenient, one truth remains: they irreversibly reshaped human behavior and society.
If Motorola’s mobile phone granted humanity ‘Freedom of Space’, and Apple’s iPhone enabled ‘Infinite Information Sharing,’ then Artificial Intelligence marks the third great revolution: the dawn of ‘Freedom of Computing.’
Now, a quarter of the way into the 21st century, we stand before a transformation even greater than the iPhone’s. The iPhone’s breakthrough lay in its ‘Intuitive Touch,’ which gave rise to UX (User Experience) as a core design philosophy—a framework built around supporting human cognition. Yet, this framework is fundamentally reactive; it responds only after users recognize a need and take deliberate action.
In contrast, the AI era transcends cognition-based UX, introducing an entirely new paradigm. While traditional UX was reactive to human cognition, the next generation of AI interfaces will be predictive—acting before the user consciously identifies a need. The interface itself becomes intelligent, proactive, and anticipatory.
For years, I have pursued this concept through multidisciplinary research—across electrical, electronic, mechanical, and optical engineering. Despite extensive prototyping, early results fell short of expectations. The true breakthrough came only a few years ago, when integrating AI logic revealed the feasibility of the interface I had long envisioned. This moment was a revelation, one that redefined my research direction and confirmed the potential of what I now call the ‘Pre-Cognition Interface’ (PCI).
The PCI represents a fundamental shift from reactive computing to anticipatory intelligence. It predicts user intent, contextualizes it, and prepares or executes actions seamlessly—all while maintaining transparency and user control. PCI transforms computing into something fluid and preemptive, minimizing friction between thought and execution.
As major technology players like Meta and Google develop next-generation AI hardware and software ecosystems, the Pre-Cognition Interface will inevitably emerge as a core component. Its potential impact is profound: redefining how humans and machines interact, reducing cognitive load, and creating experiences that feel almost telepathic.
The Pre-Cognition Interface is not just a technological innovation—it marks a new epoch in human-computer interaction. Much like touch redefined interaction in the smartphone era, PCI will redefine interaction in the AI era, heralding the true Freedom of Computing.
