PREDICTION: “The development of AI in the coming years will be linked to the priorities described in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which focus on bringing health everywhere and in a preventive manner, reducing climate problems and increasing innovation in the production chain, which includes increased supply chain efficiency.”

PREDICTION: “AI helps detect and predict events quickly, such as outbreaks, unauthorized or unsafe drone operations, bias, cybersecurity threats and malicious activities - driving innovation and competition in a range of application domains, including environmental sustainability, space tech and exploration, smart cities, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, healthcare and medicine, and transportation.”

PREDICTION: “AI in software development can provide a significant productivity boost. It can also result in better products. For example, AI can be used to complete tasks that most engineers dread, such as providing detailed documentation and creating unit tests for their code.”

PREDICTION: “5G will change the way we connect in 2024, and impact existing industries that rely on connection, such as healthcare, education, transportation and many more because of superfast broadband, ultra-reliable low latency communication, massive machine-type communications, high reliability/availability and efficient energy usage.”

PREDICTION: “The race for quantum technologies is getting faster, and there are many huge players interested in it. Even if most (or all) results have no immediate impact yet, the quest for applications in the next few years is likely to shape the future.”

PREDICTION: “Realistically, the use of AI in cybersecurity will help to reduce the punishing cognitive load on tier 1 security operation center (SOC) analysts and incident responders. Rather than having to comb through a needlestack looking for a needle, AI promises to automate much of the correlation across vast amounts of data that humans struggle with.”
