What do you see when you picture the future? In the UK, young people from China and Britain were asked to use technology to imagine what might be possible, and design innovative solutions to looming challenges.

00:00The future, I think it's going to be really digital, it's going to become a sort of blend
00:05of physical and digital worlds, and we need to understand how to sort of merge them together
00:11in a way that we are comfortable with it.
00:14I think in the future, with globalization, all the cultures will merge together, so that's
00:20very interesting.
00:21I'm always very excited about the future, how the fusion of art and technologies, and
00:25especially excited about with the technology, we have a new way to interpret what's our
00:31different culture.
00:33The youth are our future, but what sort of world will they live in, and how will they
00:37tackle its biggest challenges?
00:40Here at the launch of the Future to See Future exhibition in London, they're trying to find
00:45answers to those questions.
00:47They did a lot of research about the social problem first, and then when they defined
00:52a problem, so they can use all their learning to, what is that, to solve that problem.
01:00So this is a kind of approach and a concept of education.
01:05Young people from China and Britain were asked to explore the latest trends, get creative,
01:12and let their imaginations unfurl to reveal a glimpse into tomorrow.
01:16What they came up with is astounding.
01:19They have really creative people involved in this, and it's going to work.
01:24It's going to work out very well.
01:26So it gives me a very positive feeling about the future of what we'll see in the exhibits
01:34to come and currently.
01:36And this is just the beginning.
01:38These innovative ideas provide a possible glimpse into the future of education, environmental
01:43protection, tourism, and even fitness.
01:46As far as these young designers are concerned, anything is possible.
01:50So my work, AI Niu Shu, is training two AI agents to learn from pre-modern women to create
01:56their own language when they're observing the environment.
01:59So what we're trying to do is like to show that how to attract new generations to knowledge
02:08of the traditional culture in China.
02:09So I created Typoglyphs, which is a keyboard that allows younger audiences to learn how
02:14to type.
02:16All of the designs will be open to the public from the 14th to the 17th of September at
02:21the Royal Mint Court.
02:23It's well worth checking out, and it's the closest you'll ever get to a time machine.
