The world is witnessing amazing and rapid development in the field of technology, yet experts expect radical transformations in 2020 that could greatly affect the course of our lives, according to a report by the technology website Venturebeat. artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence has become a part of everyday life, driven by the emergence of influential voice systems such as Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. In 2020, experts expect a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, including its use in emotion recognition and computer vision. Online shopping Online selling is hot but there are not many apps that support it. For example, Amazon recently launched the Amazon Go application, but with the emergence of the fifth generation of Internet communication networks and the use of more sensors and optical technologies, this sector is expected to witness remarkable development in 2020. Advanced computer processors 2022 will see the need for advanced and more powerful computing devices given that a wide range of new applications are powered by ever-evolving sensors and AI models. Several companies have begun producing advanced chips capable of dealing with the increasing demand, which mimic the structure of the brain and process artificial intelligence algorithms. Quantum computing The report predicts that 2022 will be the beginning of the era of quantum computing. As the flow of data increases, quantum computing is expected to make a greater contribution to major problems that concern societies, such as energy and health care. In 2022, the ability to handle big data will be needed to treat cancer, control nuclear energy, analyze DNA, and more. Companies such as IBM, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Alibaba have made tangible strides towards quantum computing. Aerospace technologies Humanity will begin returning to space in 2022, driven largely by the private sector. Since the Cold War, technological progress has slowed. Notable companies now making progress in space include SpaceX and Blue Origin. SpaceX is developing its Starship rocket, while private organizations are making progress in the space field. Spacecraft may shorten continental journeys to between 20-30 minutes, according to the report. A new era of the Internet The year 2022 will witness intense competition between the United States and China over the fastest provision of fifth-generation (5G) communications technology to consumers. Another hot topic is Starlink Broadband. Through these technologies, up to 2,500 satellites will be launched in 2022, and this represents a new era for broadband Internet, and this number is expected to grow to 12,000 satellites by 2023. Digital healthcare Digital healthcare in 2022 is expected to witness a lot of innovation, such as the use of technology in genetic analysis to detect diseases and provide ways to prevent them. According to the report, the development of artificial intelligence will improve the quality of treatment in 2020. It will be used to diagnose medical images taken via magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans, and X-rays. Startups Enlitic and Zebra Medical Vision are showing remarkable progress in this area. Crop cultivation technology In the field of agriculture, several companies are emerging offering products that use artificial intelligence, computer vision, and big data. In 2022, it will become common to monitor crop growth through computer vision. Robots that will grow plants and fruits will become more common. Agriculture companies will also seek to improve the efficiency of crop growth, even in closed spaces, by developing their capabilities in the field of technology. Autonomous driving technology Autonomous driving is one of the most important topics, and it has not yet reached the fifth level (full control), but it is making progress, in light of the great interest paid by leading companies in this field. During this year, it seeks to advance from the second or third level of self-driving to the fifth. Among these companies are Prophesee (France), Perceptive Automata (USA). Blockchain data As this sector grows, payment and security companies developing anti-money laundering technologies are attracting attention. Among these companies is IBM, which has already begun preparing a program specialized in serial data. In 2022, major organizations will introduce blockchain technology to prevent information leakage and online fraud. Although there are concerns about the impact of this technological development on the workforce, the report believes that the new year will undoubtedly be a year of innovation, as people improve in the field of using technology.
