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.

Smart devices, wearable technology, and virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) are fast-growing fields making consumers' lives more convenient and connected. For instance, the growing trend of smart homes, which allow us to control lighting, temperature, entertainment, and other functions with a voice command or a touch of a button, is changing how we live and work. As consumer technology progresses, it will play an even more significant role in our personal and professional lives, causing disruptions and fostering new business models. This report section will investigate some of the consumer technology trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

Data collection and usage have become a growing ethical issue, as apps and smart devices have made it easier for companies and governments to gather and store massive amounts of personal data, raising concerns about privacy and data security. The use of data can also have unintended consequences, such as algorithmic bias and discrimination. The lack of clear regulations and standards for data management has further complicated the issue, leaving individuals vulnerable to exploitation. As such, this year might see efforts ramped up in the push to establish ethical principles to protect the rights and privacy of individuals. This report section will cover the data usage trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

From human-AI augmentation to "franken-algorithms," this report section takes a closer look at the AI/ML sector trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023. Artificial intelligence and machine learning empower companies to make better and faster decisions, streamline processes, and automate tasks. Not only is this disruption transforming the job market, but it is also affecting society in general, altering how people communicate, shop, and access information. The tremendous benefits of AI/ML technologies are clear, but they may also present challenges for organizations and other bodies looking to implement them, including concerns around ethics and privacy.

Delivery drones are revolutionizing how packages are delivered, reducing delivery times and providing greater flexibility. Meanwhile, surveillance drones are used for various purposes, from monitoring borders to inspecting crops. "Cobots," or collaborative robots, are also becoming increasingly popular in the manufacturing sector, working alongside human employees to increase efficiency and productivity. These machines can provide numerous benefits, including enhanced safety, lower costs, and improved quality. This report section will look at the rapid developments in robotics that Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.
