The computing world is evolving at breakneck speed due to the introduction and increasingly widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, quantum supercomputers, cloud storage, and 5G networking. For instance, IoT enables ever more connected devices and infrastructure that can generate and share data on a massive scale. At the same time, quantum computers promise to revolutionize the processing power needed to track and coordinate these assets. Meanwhile, cloud storage and 5G networks provide new ways to store and transmit data, allowing for more novel and agile business models to emerge. This report section will cover the computing trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and recognition systems in policing is increasing, and although these technologies might enhance police work, they often raise critical ethical concerns. For example, algorithms assist in various aspects of policing, such as predicting crime hotspots, analyzing facial recognition footage, and assessing the risk of suspects. However, the accuracy and fairness of these AI systems are regularly investigated due to growing concerns over the potential for bias and discrimination. The use of AI in policing also raises questions about accountability, as it often needs to be made clear who is responsible for the decisions made by algorithms. This report section will consider some of the trends in police and crime technology (and their ethical consequences) that Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

Politics has certainly not remained unaffected by technological advances. For instance, artificial intelligence (AI), misinformation, and "deep fakes" profoundly impact global politics and how information is disseminated and perceived. The rise of these technologies has made it easier for individuals and organizations to manipulate images, videos, and audio, creating deep fakes that are difficult to detect. This trend has led to an increase in disinformation campaigns to influence public opinion, manipulate elections, and sow division, ultimately leading to a decline in trust in traditional news sources and a general sense of confusion and uncertainty. This report section will explore some of the trends surrounding technology in politics that Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) are reshaping the entertainment and media sectors by offering users new and immersive experiences. The advancements in mixed reality have also allowed content creators to produce and distribute more interactive and personalized content. Indeed, the integration of extended reality (XR) into various forms of entertainment, such as gaming, movies, and music, blurs the lines between reality and fantasy and provides users with more memorable experiences. Meanwhile, content creators are increasingly employing AI in their productions, raising ethical questions on intellectual property rights and how AI-generated content should be managed. This report section will cover the entertainment and media trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic upended the business world across industries, and operational models may never be the same again. For instance, the rapid shift to remote work and online commerce has accelerated the need for digitization and automation, forever altering how companies do business. This report section will cover the macro business trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023, including the increasing investment in technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) to streamline operations and better serve customers. At the same time, 2023 will undoubtedly hold many challenges, such as data privacy and cybersecurity, as businesses navigate an ever-changing landscape. In what has been termed the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we may see companies—and the nature of business—evolve at an unprecedented rate.

The agricultural sector has seen a wave of technological advancements in the last few years, particularly in synthetic food production—a rapidly growing field involving technology and biochemistry to create food products from plant-based and lab-grown sources. The goal is to provide consumers with sustainable, affordable, and safe food sources while reducing traditional agriculture's environmental impact. Meanwhile, the agricultural industry has also turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to, for instance, optimize crop production, reduce waste, and improve food safety. These algorithms can be used to analyze vast amounts of data, such as on soil and weather conditions, to provide farmers with real-time insights into the health of their crops. Indeed, AgTech hopes to improve yields, increase efficiency, and ultimately help feed a growing global population. This report section will cover the AgTech trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.
