As we commence this year, we are excited to watch newer and more intriguing trends emerge in the field of technology. We have curated a list of five technology trends that are widely anticipated in 2023.
1. Artificial Intelligence Ubiquity
The world has witnessed incredible growth in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) field and has leveraged majorly from it. As for 2023, AI is predicted to bring realism to organizations. With emerging new capacities AI comprises, businesses shall be able to benefit from No-Code AI to create more intelligent products and services assisted with a drag-and-drop interface.
Significant advancement has been seen in the higher education sector, which mainly encompasses digital transformation. Automating daily tasks, digitalizing workflows, developing more complex datasets, and creating dashboards to enhance their analytics are some of the components that have been actively bettered with AI. Such improvements can be seen in AI chatbots, similar to Yoda. In the near future, AI shall aid personalized learning, virtual helpers, data analytics to predict student success, enhanced student support, and more.
2. Acclivity of Metaverse
According to GlobalData, the Metaverse market size is predicted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.8% during the years 2022-2030, based on the market size value of USD 22.79 Billion in 2021 evaluation.
The year 2020 witnessed a transformation in the education sector by introducing and implementing online learning. Metaverse enables the courses that are too unfeasible to be served online to be included in the online learning plan and implement successfully.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) partnered with eye-tracking technology and image recognition shall be contributing to the immersive learning experience by conducting classes using an avatar – representing the student – that can move between online spaces. The higher education sector is expected to see a massive improvement in the future using Metaverse.
3. Modifiable Nature
Technology has allowed us to modify components that surround us – even humans themselves. In the near future, nanotechnology will be utilized for newly-featured materials, such as water resistance and self-healing powers. The most intriguing transformation to be seen in 2023 is the gene editing technology, developed by CRISPR – Cas9. This capability to edit nature by altering DNA shall support the correction of DNA mutations, betterment of crops’ health, editing of human characteristics, and even mitigating food allergies.
4. AI-Generated Humanoids
In 2023, robots are predicted to have even more human-like in capabilities and appearance. They will be configured to carry out real-world activities, just as humans. The design for humanoid robots also includes the ability to perform complex tasks in warehouses and factories alongside humans.
In September 2022, two Optimus humanoid robot prototypes were introduced by Elon Musk at Tesla AI Day. He further revealed that the company would be taking orders within the next 3 to 5 years. These robots shall perform household tasks and will be referred to as the “Robot Butlers”.
5. Autonomous Systems
Autonomous System enables achieving goals in a changing environment without human control or invention. The autonomy of a system typically requires the robot to sense the environment and keep track of the system’s state and location, understand disparate data sources, determine the series of actions, and act only when it is safe to do so. In 2023, significant progress can be seen in autonomous systems surrounding delivery and logistics. The expectations pertain to enabling more self-driven trucks, ships, and delivery robots.
These intriguing technological advancements are majorly awaited. As the bar is set higher than before every year, we are thrilled to see newer and better trends emerge and those that are yet to emerge.
