There are some break out trends and applications attracting a lot of attention, and there are some trends that will generate serious momentum in 2018 and beyond. Let’s look at 4 of them:
-
Blockchain Platforms: 2018 will be more about blockchain platforms than cross-industry applications. The financial industry will lead the way; healthcare will follow quickly. Blockchain will completely free itself of its singular
cryptocurrency identity in 2018. It will become a legitimate transaction platform that mainstream technology vendors and vertical industry leaders deploy.
- “Digifake” will continue to explode in 2018 – and indefinitely. There’s no technological limit to the amount of fake in the system.
- Enabling Platforms for AI & Machine Learning Applications: Formal
AI and machine learning development platforms and applications will debut in 2018. But the most notable trend to watch in 2018 will be AI’s attack on knowledge workers. 2018 will launch phase one of a prolonged war against high costs and inefficiencies.
- Internet of Everything (IOE): IOE represents the integration of technology trends in much the same way that analytics generates (or fails to generate) ROI around all technology trends. IOE is therefore as powerful as the trends that enable it, so track trends in sensor technology, power technology, integration technology, network connectivity, AI and other trends that accelerate the adoption of IOE.
