As it is commonly known a “zero user interface” concept stands for a human-computer interaction that does not require human conscience over specific data creation, transmission, storage and processing.

Humans have historically had faced the paradigm of having the need to make certain actions in order to operate and run machines and systems -sometimes called computers-, from physical and mechanical action, command line and console interfaces -U.I.- to nowadays common graphic environments and sensible touch screens “keyboard and mouse” based -G.U.I.- commonly seen in most regular current machine and(to/from) man interaction. By providing content to mother-database users feed the evergrowing need of data acquisition that machine urges us all.

The evolving state of the art involves a combination of increasingly more available sensors -that is data regarding many different devices; for example image captured by cameras, sound recorded by many connected devices, microwave emission and receptions hardware monitoring, etc...-, huge databases (distributed/decentralized) with capability of storage exceeding human time conception in order to maintain data through time, and an unseen heavy distributed computational power revolution just happening in front of our eyes, considering ten years after conditions regarding computational power. All of this achieved requirements are actually needed to store and process data, not only making it available for humans (and/or machine) in future time (if we may think it to be programmed with such porpoise...), but also defining the borders of conception of the sometimes called artificial intelligence -A.I.-.

A zero user interface thus is the actual happening by so what human generates data that is incorporated into a database for further analysis and processing without the need of any specific action by the user, or to put it in other words, without user having actual conscience (neither consent) over this process.

This present days scenario must be considered as swift point in machine behaviour towards humans, as the realization of both artificial intelligence decision making constructs and the progressive escalation and deployment of zero user interfaces makes it highly probable to consider a future -if not present- encasement of human conscience and principles in order to pursuit machine awareness goals, generally in opposite direction -if not confronted- to human inherent condition goals.

This is a warning: Never trust the machine. If we may be living in a majestic matrix, you should wonder to the world that is pulled in front of our eyes, and consider that it is only one thought one's eyes we see, and that right there in front of us is the chance to try make things not perfect, but just a little bit better for all. Trust people, not machines. Machines do not know anything about trust.
