2026年科技突破名單遺珠：四項值得關注但未入選的技術
如果你係我們的老讀者，應該知道我們新聞團隊每年都會選出十項我哋認為「將定義未來」嘅科技突破。今年的名單將於1月12日公布，但我想先同大家分享幾項今年未能入選、但同樣值得認識的技術，讓大家一窺我們的篩選過程。
這四項技術雖然未能進入2026年突破名單，但都曾被仔細考慮，亦有其獨到之處。
男性避孕新方案
現時有多款針對男性的避孕新療法正在研發中，為男性提供除避孕套或輸精管結紮外的新選擇。
其中一家公司Contraline正進行臨床試驗，推出兩種產品：一種是每天塗抹於肩膀或上臂的凝膠，能抑制精子生成；另一種是設計用於射精時阻擋精子的裝置。Contraline的CEO Kevin Eisenfrats近期亦入選了我們的「35歲以下創新者」榜單。另外，YourChoice Therapeutics亦在早期試驗一種每日服用的男性避孕藥丸。
雖然進展令人振奮，但這些療法要通過完整臨床試驗並普及，仍需數年時間。
世界模型（World models）
近月來，世界模型成為人工智能的新熱點。雖然界定有點模糊，這類模型一般會以視頻或空間數據訓練，目標是從簡單指令生成3D虛擬世界，並內建像重力等物理定律，幫助設計遊戲或提升機械人對環境的理解力。
儘管對什麼是世界模型仍有爭議，但這想法正逐漸擴大影響力。多位著名AI專家如Yann LeCun和Fei-Fei Li都投入創業，Fei-Fei Li的公司World Labs上月發布了首個版本，Google早前亦推出了Genie 3世界模型。
這些模型或將成為AI的未來前沿，但目前仍屬初步階段，未能獲得突破性認定，值得持續關注。
真實身份證明（Proof of personhood）
隨著AI技術發展，網上真假身份越來越難分辨。現時可利用少量資料製作極逼真的數碼化身，甚至有AI代理在網絡上代表人類行動。
因此，市場對「真實身份憑證」的需求增加，這類憑證能在做重要網上操作時驗證你是真人。
我們報導過OpenAI、微軟、哈佛及MIT等機構嘗試研發的數碼憑證，用戶需先到政府或其他機構驗證身份，再將憑證安裝於裝置，透過密碼學協議確認身份真實性。
雖然目前多個身份驗證項目仍在發展中，如Sam Altman創辦的Tools for Humanity推出的World ID，尚未有明確贏家，但這類技術將是未來網絡身份認證的關鍵。
全球最年長的嬰兒
今年7月，我們的資深記者Jessica Hamzelou報導了一個創紀錄的嬰兒誕生故事：這名嬰兒是由一個冷凍超過30年的胚胎發育而成，成為史上「最年長的嬰兒」。
這項紀錄得以實現，部分由於體外受精（IVF）技術的進步，例如更安全的解凍方法，更重要的是「胚胎收養」機構的興起，促成捐贈者與有意育嬰家庭配對，使多年冷凍的胚胎也有機會被使用。
這種做法有助解決數百萬冷凍胚胎的長期存放問題，但因其突破更多是社會觀念改變而非技術革命，故未被列入突破名單，仍不失為一個令人印象深刻的成就。
編輯評論：科技突破的選擇與未來視野
這篇文章提供了對科技突破遴選過程的珍貴一瞥，展示了創新與實際影響力之間的微妙平衡。男性避孕新技術的進展反映了生殖健康領域的多元化需求，但漫長的臨床路程提醒我們，科技成熟需要時間與耐心。世界模型的熱潮則展現了AI從單一功能走向更深層次環境理解的趨勢，這不僅是技術突破，更可能改變人機互動的方式。
真實身份憑證的討論凸顯了當前數碼時代身份安全的迫切性，尤其在AI生成內容泛濫的背景下，如何建立信任成為社會共同課題。這些技術若能成為標準，有助於網絡生態的健康發展。
至於「最年長嬰兒」的故事，則提醒我們科技突破不只是冷冰冰的技術進步，更牽涉倫理、社會與文化層面的變革。科技的真正價值往往在於它如何被社會接受及應用。
總括而言，這些未入選的技術和事件，雖未達突破定義，但它們的潛力和意義不容忽視。它們代表了未來可能的發展方向，值得我們持續關注與思考。作為讀者，我們不應只聚焦於最耀眼的突破，更應理解背後複雜多元的科技生態，這樣才能真正掌握未來脈動。
