Artificial Intelligence Could Play a Critical Role in Mitigating the Effects of the Climate Crisis
Softtech is pleased to announce the release of its 2024 Technology Report, a comprehensive analysis meticulously curated with insights from esteemed industry leaders. This year’s report, centered on the transformative potential of productive artificial intelligence, delves into the nuances that distinguish humans from AI, its profound implications for the workforce, and the intricate interplay between artificial, digital, and physical domains. Through our Technology Radar, we offer prescient forecasts on technological developments, underscoring the pivotal role AI will assume in shaping the future of employment.
To anticipate the burgeoning technology trends in the coming years, we have released the “2024 Technology Report”. This comprehensive report is prepared under three main sections: “The Future of Technologies,” “Human and Environment,” and “The Future of Industries and Innovation.” According to our technology radar, between 2024 and 2026, key topics will include AI coworkers, AI job specialists, 5G, edge AI, digital identity, sustainability, and environmental issues. From 2026 to 2030, the focus will shift to workerless organizations, quantum AI, digital finance, digital sensory interaction, sustainable smart cities, and biotechnological production. In the decade from 2030 to 2040, the radar will highlight basic income, humanoid AI, digital work life, virtual universes, digital ownership, and everything as a service. Looking further ahead, between 2040 and 2080, we anticipate developments in artificial corporations, digital reality, augmented humans and human lifespan, and invisible wearable technology.
“Those Who Keep Up with Innovations Will Gain a Competitive Advantage”
Commenting on the report, our General Manager M. Bülent Özçengel stated, “Our Technology Report, which sheds light on the unknowns of the technology world and the future, serves as a significant guide to unveiling the technology trends that will shape the future. The rise of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence signals profound changes that will deeply affect the business world and society. Concepts like humanoid artificial intelligence, virtual universes, and digital work life will become more prominent in the coming periods. In this process, those who can keep up with innovations will gain a competitive advantage. Therefore, the rapidly evolving nature of technology necessitates that people and industries adapt to these changes now. Our research-based forward-looking predictions in the report provide important insights into how artificial intelligence will affect workforce dynamics. At Softtech, we will continue to add value to our customers and society by identifying future technology trends.”
Shedding Light on the Relationship Between AI and Humans
Our report, which thoroughly examines the relationship between artificial intelligence and humans, highlights the significant role AI plays in all areas, from financial markets and information learning to recruitment. The report notes that companies are adopting AI to optimize business processes, enhance efficiency, and stay competitive. It emphasizes that AI is at the beginning stages of being integrated into all human resources processes. The AI revolution, according to our report, creates a dilemma for organizations regarding the technological workforce. As AI continues to evolve, the report underscores the necessity for employees to engage in lifelong learning to keep their skills up to date.
“Synthesis AI” to Follow “Generative AI”
Our report highlights that with “Generative AI” (also known as Gen AI), users can harness creative power through remarkably simple tools. It also emphasizes that following “Generative AI,” the next technological advancement is “Synthesis AI.” While generative AI specializes in creating content based on guidance, synthesis AI stands out in synthesizing information, learning from it, and dynamically adapting its responses. The report notes that “Synthesis AI” will have the capability to perceive and integrate diverse materials and sources, such as medical resources and financial data, without isolating them, thus understanding and combining them within a broader context.
Artificial intelligence can play a critical role in building resilience to the climate crisis
Our report, which also highlights the climate crisis, foresees that artificial intelligence can identify risk factors, develop plans to mitigate them, and play a crucial role in increasing resilience against the impacts of climate change. It is noted that the collaboration between AI and humans can lead to effective solutions for the threats and crises arising from climate change. Our report suggests that to reverse the planet’s path to destruction, AI can create innovative environments for decision-makers, implementers, and society. It proposes developing different approaches through AI and human collaboration to solve the complex problems of cities, rather than relying on traditional methods.
Technology Radar Includes Predictions Extending to 2080
Featuring contributions from esteemed experts, our report’s Technology Radar provides a comprehensive analysis of technology trends across four dimensions: Work Life, Artificial Life, Digital Life, and Physical Life. It includes forward-looking predictions extending to the year 2080, outlining when these technology trends are expected to emerge prominently.
