17 Oct The Hottest Technology Trends of 2024
After a turbulent 2022 in tech investment and talent, early 2024 has witnessed a resurgence of excitement about technology’s potential to boost growth in businesses and tackle the world’s most challenging problems. While many of last year’s 14 tech trends are still in the top ten however, generative AI has made an impressive debut into the discussion with its impressive and exciting potential to make a significant impact.
We’ve also seen an increase in interest in new technologies that are in their formative stages but could boost productivity and accelerate growth. These include digital platforms, which are reshaping established business models by offering new ways for people to connect and exchange value; the Internet of Things (IoT) which is transforming into an interconnected network of devices able to observe and analyze human behavior and cloud computing, that is revolutionizing how companies deploy and utilize applications.
Edge AI is another hot trend because it’s enabling AI/ML systems to analyze data and take action without sending the data to the cloud. This allows self-driving vehicles to react in a blink of an eye, as well as security cameras to monitor suspicious activities in real-time.
Finally sustainable technology is gaining in popularity as businesses and individuals strive to meet the goal of net-zero and invest in technologies that can reduce environmental footprints. This includes the use of green energy as well as sustainable materials and processes, as well as using technology to reduce or eliminate carbon emissions.
