Generative AI, ChatGPT, Dall-E - it seems everyone's so excited about AI at the moment that they've forgotten all about the hot technology trends of just a short while back. Are The Metaverse And Web3 Still Relevant? This is the nature of the "hype cycle" that those of us who follow the latest developments in technology have become very accustomed to. New ideas get a lot of attention – not always of the right sort – then the excitement dies off when something even newer emerges. But does that mean that they're dead and forgotten?

Analysts at Deloitte have unveiled their predictions for what they believe will be the most important tech trends of the next 12 months. To do this, they have framed core trends, including machine learning, cloud computing, and blockchain, against the dynamically shifting industry backgrounds where they operate, aiming to focus on real-world use cases rather than just high-level technology concepts. I took the chance to review the selection with their chief futurist, Mike Bechtel, in order to gain some insights into why the consulting giant believes they will be so influential, and how we are likely to see them impacting our lives as we move into 2023 and beyond. Predicting the impact that the much-talked-about metaverse will have on our lives, Deloitte's report focuses on the concept of "Immersive internet for the enterprise." The true value of the metaverse, it is suggested, will be the new business models that it makes possible.

This past year, global attention has been focused on geo-strategic issues, such as the devastating war in Ukraine, which has dislocated many and caused immense suffering. Attention has also been focused on the recovery from the COVID pandemic, which was the overriding concern over the past three years. And finally, the economic destruction wrought by rapidly ramped interest rates which have targeted all sectors of the economy, particularly technology. But despite all this negativity, the business of building the future continues. There has been progress across major axes of computing, from visualization to AI and new types of processors (quantum).

Convenience and the quest to solve the unsolvable are what primarily drive new technological advancements. It could be a new kind of smartphone or a laptop that looks fundamentally different from what we have seen so far. It could also be a new machine that helps doctors in surgeries, or some tool that benefits farmers. And this is just about the hardware. Technology also evolves in the field of software, such as the ones driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

Between companies developing robots for home use and ones making robots to (directly or indirectly) cater to you, it's possible that in 2023, your life will be touched by more machines, even if you don't recognize that it's happening. If it's any consolation, though, robotics experts told us last year that a more sophisticated breed of "social" robots -- the kind with which we may be able to build real, fruitful connections -- probably won't go mainstream for a while yet.

From mobile technology to AI, the world of insurance is rapidly evolving as an array of new technologies enter the space. Keeping up with these emerging trends and insurance software innovations can be challenging but it is essential to stay on top of the competition. In this article, we'll explore six key tech trends that are shaping how insurance companies should conduct business today to make the most of it. Insurance industry technology is constantly evolving, with new solutions emerging every day. Keeping track of the trends can be overwhelming but it's worth it for anyone in the business.

With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), grocers are digitalizing their entire inventory, using machine learning to quickly classify new …

IT executives must look beyond cost savings to new forms of operational excellence and seek technologies that can help them optimize resilience, scale industry-specific solutions and product delivery, and pioneer new forms of engagement, according to the 10 top strategic technology trends for 2023 unveiled at Gartner's IT Symposium/Xpo 2022. These include multiple forms of wireless, artificial intelligence, and sustainability, according to Frances Karamouzis, distinguished vice president and analyst at Gartner, and external events are making IT pros' decisions about them even more difficult. "Depending on what region of the world you are in there are lots of looming issues such as a potential recession, supply chain concerns, the war in Ukraine and that impact, as well as energy-related issues," Karamouzis said. IT executives must focus on continuing to accelerate digital transformation and consider possible use both for technologies that can be applied immediately and those that are on the horizon. With that as background, Gartner's top 10 strategic technology trends for 2023 looks like this: No single wireless technology will dominate, but enterprises will use a variety of wireless solutions to support a range of environments, from Wi-Fi in the office, services for mobile devices, low-power protocols, and even radio connectivity, Gartner stated.

In 2022, we heard the word metaverse echoing across all industries with a sharp focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning. The digital world also became increasingly hostile with an increase in cyberattacks and ransomware, shedding light on the need to upgrade protection measures across the globe. We also witnessed more and more robots in action - whether to kill or to make our lives easier. Here are the top 5 tech trends that defined 2022 for us. After Facebook officially changed its name to "Meta" to reflect its metaverse ambitions, a lot of people had trouble processing the concept of metaverse.

Healthcare is an industry lagging behind in its adoption of technology, so opportunities abound to improve patient outcomes and accessibility to healthcare amid caregiver labor shortages and the rising cost of care in Europe and the U.S. One method is complete data sharing between patients' doctors and care locations (i.e. "A patient's doctors and patients themselves should be able to easily access secure data that is privacy-compliant across care locations." Another lever is to move chronic patients from emergency care, which is extremely expensive, to preventative care, which is more affordable, Bui said. One example is healthcare technology that helps diabetic patients by continuously monitoring their glucose levels, warning them when levels are too high and scheduling doctors' appointments and follow-up when necessary. Other avenues include artificial intelligence (AI)-backed symptom checkers and gamified apps for patient engagement or chatbots providing tools for psychological support, such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
