👉 Cup computing is an innovative approach to artificial intelligence that leverages everyday objects and human interactions to solve complex problems without relying on traditional data centers or extensive computational resources. Instead of feeding machines vast amounts of data, cup computing uses physical objects—such as cups, books, or even smartphones—as sensors and interfaces to gather real-world data directly from the environment. These objects are equipped with AI capabilities, enabling them to process and learn from their surroundings. For example, a smart cup could detect when it's empty and notify an app, or a book could recognize text and provide summaries. This method not only reduces the computational load but also enhances privacy and efficiency, as data is processed locally or in nearby edge devices, minimizing the need to transmit sensitive information over the internet. By integrating AI with everyday objects, cup computing aims to create more intuitive, context-aware, and sustainable solutions for a wide range of applications.
