The results suggest that respondents see AI-designed hardware as the technology most likely to become commonplace by 2035, slightly ahead of solid-state batteries, fully autonomous vehicles, and household robots. While all four technologies received significant support, AI-driven hardware design stood out as the leading expectation, reflecting growing confidence that artificial intelligence will become an integral part of electronics development over the next decade.

When asked which technology they would most like to have in their own homes, priorities shifted noticeably. Better batteries emerged as the clear favorite, attracting just over half of all responses, followed by robot helpers. In contrast, interest in AI hardware design assistants was relatively modest, and autonomous vehicles attracted very little enthusiasm as an in-home technology. The results suggest that while engineers expect AI and autonomy to shape the future, they place the greatest personal value on practical technologies that improve everyday life through longer-lasting power and useful household assistance.
