Top Technology Trends for 2023 | David Marshlack
With 2023 well underway, we can easily see the tech trends of the year begin to emerge. As people in the technology industry, you’re always on the lookout for the next big thing in the digital world. Today, we’ll be discussing what trends will emerge throughout the rest of 2023.
AI as the frontrunner
In 2023, AI will be widely used in organizations. No-code AI is incredibly easy to use, allowing businesses to create new and innovative products and services.
In the retail industry, one of the first companies to use AI is Stitch Fix, which helps customers find the right clothes based on their tastes and sizes. Artificial intelligence will play a huge role in the future of shopping and delivery, allowing consumers to easily purchase and receive services.
In addition to improving the efficiency of various business processes, AI will also help retailers automate their inventory management. This will allow them to implement more convenient and effective methods such as buy-online-pickup-at-a-curbside, buy-online-pickup-in-store, or buy-online-return-in-store. These convenience trends will be the industry standard.
Metaverse becomes real
According to experts, the metaverse will contribute $5 trillion to the worldwide economy by 2030. 2023 will be the year that will define the metaverse’s direction for the next decade.
In 2023, the rise of virtual and augmented reality will continue to make its way into the workplace. One of the most interesting developments that will happen in this area is the creation of immersive meeting rooms.
Several companies, such as Microsoft and Nvidia, are currently developing platforms that will allow them to work together on digital projects.
In the new year, we’ll see the development of more advanced avatars that will allow us to project our presence in the metaverse. With the help of motion capture, our virtual selves will be able to recognize our gestures and body language.
We might also see the development of AI-enabled autonomous avatars that will allow people to participate in the metaverse without being logged in.
In 2023, we’ll see more companies adopting the use of metaverse technology to conduct onboarding and training. One of the first companies to do this is Accenture, which has created a virtual environment called the NthFloor. This allows employees to conduct their HR-related tasks while they’re in the virtual world.
Progress in Web3
Developers will continue to create decentralized services and products in 2023, which will greatly affect blockchain technology.
In the future, we’ll see more companies decentralizing their data storage and using blockchain technology to secure their information. This will allow them to analyze and access it more efficiently.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will become more practical and usable. For instance, tickets to a concert may become more practical with NFTs as they will allow fans to gain backstage access and memorabilia. They may also function as the key to interacting with various digital services and products.
Further Progress in Green Technology
The world is facing a major challenge regarding climate change. It’s important that the public and private sectors work together to reduce carbon emissions.
We’ll continue to see the development of new technologies that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One of these is the development of green hydrogen. In the North Sea, RWE and Shell are currently working on a project that will help build the first major green pipeline that will run from wind plants.
The development of decentralized energy grids is also expected to continue. This concept allows communities and individuals to generate and store their own power. This type of energy can be used to provide power even when the main grid isn’t available. Despite the current dominance of energy companies, decentralized initiatives can potentially help decrease carbon emissions and democratize power globally.
