These might include: 1. Quantum Computing at Scale Fully functional and accessible quantum computers capable of solving complex problems exponentially faster than current computers. 2 . Bio-Computing Computers that integrate biological components, such as DNA-based processors or neural tissue, mimicking human brain functionality. 3. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Computers that exhibit human-like cognitive abilities, understanding, learning, and reasoning in a general, adaptable way. 4.
