Here are some of the top 20 new technologies expected to shape the world in 2023:
Computing Power: Computing power has already made its place in the digital era as almost every device and device is computerized. Computing power is expected to grow exponentially in 2023, allowing for faster processing, more storage, and better performance of various applications. Computing power will also enable the development and advancement of other technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and edge computing³.
Smarter Devices: Smarter devices are devices that can perceive, interact with, and interact with their environment and users. Smarter devices will become more widespread and sophisticated in 2023 thanks to the integration of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and 5G. Smarter devices will offer users more convenience, personalization and functionality, such as voice assistants, smart home devices, wearables and autonomous vehicles³.
Datafication: Datafication is the process of transforming various aspects of life into data that can be collected, analyzed and used for various purposes. Datafication will continue to grow in 2023 as more data sources become available and more data-driven applications emerge. Datafication will enable better insight, decision-making and innovation across industries and domains such as healthcare, education, finance and entertainment³.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a way to make computers smart and able to do things normally only humans can do, such as learning, discovering and making choices. Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that involves the use of algorithms and statistical models that allow computers to learn and improve their performance on a specific task without being explicitly programmed. AI and ML are used in various industries to improve efficiency and decision making. Examples of how AI and ML are helping include: healthcare (analyzing medical records, predicting patient outcomes, helping with diagnosis and treatment planning), retail (product recommendation, price optimization, inventory management), education (personalization of learning, assessment of tasks , plagiarism detection) and entertainment (content creation, caption generation, image enhancement)¹².
Augmented Reality: Augmented Reality (XR) is an umbrella term that includes Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and other immersive technologies that create or enhance digital experiences. XR will become more affordable and accessible in 2023 with the development of new devices, platforms and content. XR will offer new ways of entertainment, education, training, communication and collaboration for both consumers
