"One of the things I am closely following is developments in the field of artificial intelligence. While this technology got off to a slow start, it has built momentum and is advancing rapidly. I'm especially interested in how artificial intelligence can be used to predict the behavior of computer users, anticipating their next actions. I can envision using this information to cache data they are likely to request. This will improve the performance of the hardware I design for Cisco and make the user interface is more intuitive."
