CIOs must keep an eye on emerging technologies. The following emerging technology innovations could impact businesses in 2023. This decade of IT is significant as innovations are responsive to the turbulent economy. So, to provide a glimpse of how emerging technology will impact businesses in 2023, here is a compilation of leading technologies that hold the potential for enterprises to embark on a journey of innovation and growth. The following technologies are also a recap for leaders to experience the advancements they grabbed in 2022.

Chintan Soni is the co-founder and CEO of Ecolibrium, a decarbonisation platform for commercial and industrial real estate that uses machine learning and internet-connected sensors to provide insights on infrastructure energy use. London-based Ecolibrium's core product, called SmartSense, collects data from thousands of internet-of-things (IoT) sensors placed on a building's energy infrastructure. These sensors feed back real-time insights to help businesses reduce energy consumption. The company relocated its headquarters to the UK from India in 2022. It is backed by QPR Football Club Chairman Amit Bhatia's Swordfish Investments and venture capital firm Unbound.

Despite advances that have been made in women's participation in technology education and innovation over the past decade, women remain under-represented in the information technology (IT) sector and in IT-based entrepreneurial initiatives. The 2019 report I'd blush if I could published by the UNSECO is striking. It found that only 12 per cent of artificial intelligence (AI) researchers and just six percent of professional software developers are women. Without diverse perspectives and ideas, we risk developing new technologies that do not meet the needs of half the population. In fact, the European Commission's 2020 white paper into AI calls for "requirements to take reasonable measures aimed at ensuring that [the] use of AI systems does not lead to outcomes entailing prohibited discrimination."

Insurance Times' annual Tech and Innovation Awards were back last night (22 September 2022) at London's glamorous Royal Lancaster Hotel. Sponsored by Genasys, NIG, Carpenters Group and Sønr, the event showcased 22 different award categories recognising finalists that are going the extra mile to use technology to improve insurance processes and the customer experience. Opening the evening, Insurance Times editor Katie Scott said: "Just featuring on one of tonight's shortlists is an accolade in itself. "The same goes for the nominated categories – in particular Technology Champion of the Year. It's so inspiring to see how firms have really capitalised on accelerated technology and digital advancements made during the Covid-19 pandemic."

Democratizing data access is key to bolstering data inclusion and equity but requires sophisticated data organization and sharing that doesn't compromise privacy. Rights management governance and high levels of end-to-end security can help ensure that data is being shared without security risks, says Zdankus. Ultimately, improving digital inclusion and equity comes down to company culture. "It can't just be a P&L [profit and loss] decision. It has to be around thought leadership and innovation and how you can engage your employees in a way that's meaningful in a way to build relevance for your company," says Zdankus. Solutions need to be value-based to foster goodwill and trust among employees, other organizations, and consumers. "If innovation for equity and inclusion were that easy, it would've been done already," says Zdankus. The push for greater inclusion and equity is a long-term and full-fledged commitment. Companies need to prioritize inclusion within their workforce and offer greater visibility to marginalized voices, develop interest in technology among young people, and implement systems thinking that focuses on how to bring individual strengths together towards a common outcome.

This article was contributed by Oliver Schabenberger, chief innovation officer at Singlestore. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella coined the term tech intensity, a combination of technology adoption and technology creation. Companies can accelerate their growth by first adopting best-in-class technology and then building their own unique digital capabilities. Over the past decades, technology innovation has followed a familiar pattern towards digital transformation in almost every industry or application area. Connecting has evolved from building roads and railroad tracks to wiring between computers to software-defined networking.

The development of Industry 4.0 has meant that those in manufacturing can gain increased productivity and performance through technology innovations, including AI, data analytics and machine learning. However, in order to enable these emerging technologies, production and manufacturing environments need new IT systems in support, which then raises concerns about reliability, security and continuity. This whitepaper looks at how new IT systems could be introduced "in series" with other manufacturing applications and how they could be deployed as on-premise edge computing, to add value. Download this resource now to see how technology innovations are enabling "smart" factories with different edge computing solutions, and read best practices for mitigating downtime.

Many people are asking themselves where they're going. The industry continues to benefit from massive investment in digital health trends such as telemedicine, IoT devices, and virtual reality surgical training, which has helped improve global health equity. Nanotechnology promises many things, but it may actually be closer than you think. Researchers from the US and South Korea have created nanorobots capable of delivering drugs to clogged arteries and drilling through them. This technology, which is controlled by an MRI machine and has wide-ranging applications, looks promising. However, there are still some issues that need to be resolved in the lab before they can apply it to humans.

This past year has seen a significant blossoming of discussions on the ethics of AI. In working groups and meetings spanning IEEE, ACM, U.N. and the World Economic Forum as well as a handful of governmental advisory committees, more intimate breakout sessions afford an opportunity to observe how we, as robotics and AI researchers, communicate our own relationship to ethics within a field teeming with possibilities of both benefit and harm. Unfortunately, many of these opportunities fail to realize authentic forward progress during discussions that repeat similar memes. Three common myths pervade such discussions, frequently stifling any synthesis: education is not needed; external regulation is undesirable; and technological optimism provides justifiable hope. The underlying good news is that discourse and curricular experimentation are now occurring at scales that were unmatched in the recent past.
