AI, ML and automation are predicted to create new jobs by 2025, including robot monitoring professionals, data scientists and automation specialists. This is also reflected in the projected global expenditures on cognitive systems and AI, which will reach significant figures.

AI will have a transformative impact on several industries, simplifying contactless payments and deliveries in the retail sector and streamlining complex business processes such as inventory management through automation. These trends indicate that AI and ML offer tremendous opportunities for professional development and business innovation in 2023.

Sustainable technologies

Over the last few years, the attention towards sustainable technologies has intensified considerably, and in 2023 we expect further significant development in this field. Among the technologies that will drive this evolution are the cloud and the blockchain, both promising a more sustainable future without sacrificing business efficiency.

Cloud computing represents a very interesting option for companies as it allows them to reduce the use of physical resources such as servers and infrastructures, moving most of the processes and data to virtual platforms. This not only reduces operating costs, but also the environmental impact, as data centers can be designed more energy-efficiently.

Similarly, blockchain offers innovative solutions for sustainability. Thanks to its decentralized nature and ability to create immutable ledgers, blockchain technology can be used to track and certify the provenance of products and resources, reducing fraud and promoting more responsible management of resources.

How does artificial intelligence help us?

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are the next outstanding technology trends. While VR engages users in virtual environments, AR enhances the real environment. In addition to games, these technologies are increasingly being used for training, entertainment, education and marketing.

In 2023, we expect further integration of AR and VR into our daily life. The global AR and VR market is projected to reach $209.2 billion by 2023, providing new professional opportunities in this rapidly growing field. Getting started with VR doesn’t require a lot of specialized skills, making it accessible even to those with basic coding skills.

Quantum Computing

Another technology that has seen and will see steady growth in the coming years is Quantum Computing. Relying on the use of subatomic particles, this branch of digital science promises multiple and incredible applications, from the treatment and prevention of diseases to the management of fraud and cybersecurity.

This branch of technology is predicted to be worth more than $2.5 billion worldwide by 2029. It’s not a strange thing to think, given that big companies like Google, AWS and Microsoft are investing significant sums in it. Not only that: nations like Russia, China and the USA have a big interest in the sector, given that Quantum could make current encryption systems obsolete.

Genomics

Technology will also grow in the field of genomics, i.e. the management of genes, DNA, their structure and location. By altering genes, we’ll be able to prevent disease, treat problems like allergies, and even change human characteristics like eye and hair color. By applying it to the natural world, we will be able to do an “edit job” to improve agriculture and thousands of other uses.

In a similar context, new developments in nanotechnology will allow us to build materials with new capabilities or to provide them to already existing structures, such as the possibility of self-healing and resistance to water.

IoT (Internet Of Things)

IoT, or Internet of Things, is the future. More prosaically, it is the growing network of devices capable of accessing the Internet through connections and consequently to each other. We already make constant use of it today, with the possibility of remotely accessing devices in our homes, such as doors, ovens and other domestic devices.

Businesses also have everything to gain from the spread of this technology. IoT offers an efficient collection and interpretation of data, increasing security, reducing costs and promoting new economic possibilities. Reflecting this growing use and all of its benefits, global spending on the IoT is projected to be $1.1 trillion by the end of 2023.

And we are only at the beginning. The potential of the IoT sees it being used to make essential services such as medical care, customer support and more efficient.
