A computer that tracks your every move might sound like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
But now, the superyacht of the future is preparing to use it AI to learn what you want before you realize it.
Just like HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi classic, the ship’s computer will scan the passengers for information about their desires.
Designed by the Italian cruise operator Rossinavi, the 43-meter long Solsea will use this information to adapt to the needs of individual guests.
Rossinavi says the AI on board the boat is designed to make navigation easier and increase the boat’s ability to be environmentally friendly.
Team members will be able to interact with the system, with AI providing guidance on sustainable practices and promoting green practices.
Powered by solar panels, the boat will also use its AI to optimize its hybrid electric motors, allowing trips across the Atlantic Ocean.
Federico Rossi, chief operating officer of Rossinavi, said: ‘Following the success of the first catamaran with artificial intelligence, we are delighted to unveil the Solsea, a new interpretation of this modern sailing technology.’
Italian shipbuilder Rossinavi has unveiled a futuristic supercar that uses AI to predict passengers’ needs before they even know them.
Like HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey (pictured), the AI on board will monitor visitors to predict what they want.
The Solsea yacht is the second AI yacht released by Rossinavi.
The first, Seawolf X, was unveiled earlier this year at the Monaco Yacht Show and featured an AI responsible for managing the ship’s hybrid engines.
By optimizing the power consumption and keeping the batteries at the right level, this AI enabled the boat to make significant improvements in its energy storage.
According to Rossinavi, Seawolf X can run completely on electric power for a one-day trip, on 90 percent of electric power for multi-day trips, and on 80 percent of electric power for transatlantic crossings.
Solsea, which was announced by Rossinavi during the Miami culture and design week in Miami Beach, Florida, takes this technology to a whole new level.
The inbuilt ‘Rossinavi AI’ monitors Solsea’s batteries, ensuring that they remain at the right level, between 20 and 80 percent, to improve the efficiency of long journeys.
This enables the boat to be fully charged in just five hours, with the help of large solar panels on the roof.
To save energy, the computer puts the boat into ‘hibernation mode’ whenever it is stopped to ensure that there is always power when it is needed.
Rossinavi says the 43-meter yacht, named Solsea, will use its AI to make its journeys more enjoyable and comfortable.
With the help of solar panels built into the sun shades, the boat uses its AI to optimize the hybrid electric engine to make cruises using up to 80 percent of the electric power.

In addition, AI is now given the ability to learn from travelers’ behavior to anticipate their wishes.
Although Rossinavi did not reveal the exact capabilities of the AI, the shipbuilder says the Solsea will adapt itself to the needs of guests as its computer learns from experience.
However, it’s not just computer power that can ensure visitors’ comfort.
Designed in collaboration with the world-renowned designer Yves Béhar, the boat has been decorated with every detail imaginable.
Solsea has a large water sports platform, a plunge pool and an owner’s cabin with 180-degree sea views.
The superyacht also has a large bar and shaded areas built with energy-saving solar panels.
Mr Rossi says: “It was an amazing journey to see how Yves Béhar reimagined our hybrid-electric catamaran platform.
‘Its new, exotic look brought a sophisticated and sophisticated style. This partnership began shortly after we conceived the concept of Seawolf X three years ago and presents an exciting new title for us.’

The Solsea yacht is currently just a design concept and Rossinavi has not announced when it will be built or how much it will cost.
However, since it costs up to $450,000 (£359,000) a week to charter a Seawolf X, we can expect the Solsea to be more expensive.
Yves Béhar adds: ‘For me, Solsea is a return to simple, noble ways of enjoying the sea while combining the future of good management, with advanced technologies.’
Rossinavi has been contacted for details.
HALF OF THE JOBS NOW WILL BE OVER FOR AI WITHIN 15 YEARS
Kai-Fu Lee, author of AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, told Dailymail.com that the world of work is facing challenges ‘similar to those faced by farmers during the industrial revolution.’
Half of the current jobs will be taken over by AI within 15 years, one of them ChinaLeading AI experts have warned.
Kai-Fu Lee, author of the best-selling book AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, told Dailymail.com that the world of work is facing challenges ‘similar to those faced by farmers during the industrial revolution. ‘
“People are not really aware of the impact of AI on their jobs,” he said.
Lee, who is a VC in China and led Google in the region, has more than 30 years of experience in AI.
He believes it’s important to ‘warn people that it’s coming, and tell them how to start training again.’
Fortunately, he said all was not lost on the public.
‘AI is powerful and flexible, but it can’t do everything humans do.’
Lee believes that AI will not be able to design, think, or make complex plans, or perform complex tasks that require good hand-eye coordination.
They also say that they are poor at dealing with unknown and unplanned areas.
Instead, it is said that AI cannot interact with people ‘like humans’, with empathy, interpersonal communication, and empathy.
