Digest of the main technological trends in 2024
Special Project
In the world of technology, every year brings new discoveries, innovations and trends that change and facilitate not only our lives but also the world around us. The year 2024 promises to be even more exciting and progressive in terms of technological advancements. From the development of artificial intelligence to space technology, from cybersecurity to medical innovations, this year will be full of amazing discoveries and promising directions of development.
In this digest, we take a look at the top technology trends that will shape our lives in the near future.
Hyperautomation
The concept of hyperautomation, which combines elements of artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, data analytics and other automation tools, is an innovative approach that analysts at Forrester predict will be of great importance to leading companies in 2024. They will rethink their automation strategies given the opportunities and benefits that artificial intelligence offers. Products and solutions based on powerful machine learning models will play the role of autonomous assistants or virtual colleagues applied to operational workflows.
For example, chatbots with artificial intelligence will be able to provide customers with round-the-clock support and other services. It is predicted that up to 10 per cent of operations will be carried out by digital employees providing a wide range of services, from sales and delivery of goods to administrative and technical support. In addition, autonomous delivery systems will evolve to include the use of unmanned vehicles and drones.
Artificial Intelligence
Of course, it is impossible to pass by the sensational but so important innovative breakthrough in the history of all mankind. One of the key areas of development is becoming the downsizing of large language models, making them more compact and efficient, while maintaining high accuracy in specific domains.
The demand for data for model training is also expected to increase, driving dataset purchase programmes such as those from OpenAI. This data can be incorporated into training sets for new models, including GPT-5.
Cybersecurity
With the rapidly growing threat of cyber security, technology solutions to enhance defences are becoming essential for all organisations. Cybercrime criminals are becoming increasingly cunning, but new technological solutions, including the use of artificial intelligence, are becoming more sophisticated, increasing competition in this market.
Therefore, the main innovations in cybersecurity in 2024 will remain automated threat management, cloud security, zero-trust security model (where systems by default trust no one inside or outside the network), user identification, behavioural analytics, cyber governance, endpoint protection, cybersecurity as a service and blockchain security.
5G and 6G technologies
In 2024, developments in networking technologies such as 5G and 6G will impact the business environment. 5G networks offer high speeds, low latency and reliable connectivity, helping to revolutionise mobile communications by handling huge amounts of data. The use of 5G technology is expected to expand in 2024 due to advancements in edge computing, IoT, AR and VR, increasing their intelligence and functionality.
Important prospects for 5G are the areas of AR and VR, where high-speed connectivity from 5G enables immersive, interactive virtual worlds. However, despite investments in 6G by individual providers, 6G technology itself is still in the long term.
Autonomous vehicles
One of the most exciting new technologies that promises to transform the automotive industry in 2024 is autonomous vehicles. By eliminating the need for a driver, these autopilot vehicles have the potential to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion and increase mobility for millions of people.
It is predicted that in 2024, autonomous vehicles will continue to advance in sensor technology, machine learning and communications. This will enable autonomous vehicles to travel efficiently in challenging environments and interact with other vehicles and infrastructure in real time, paving the way for a future where manual driving is no longer the standard.
Some of the world's leading companies in autonomous transport technology include Tesla, Rivian, Zoox, May Mobility and many others.
Web 3.0 and the meta-universe
The advancement of the upcoming third generation of the Internet, Web 3.0, will pave the way for the development of new technologies, including the meta-universe and other virtual worlds designed for entertainment, communication and business purposes. The emergence of Web 3.0 will drive the active penetration of the meta-universe into the business sphere as companies seek to provide a more personalised online experience for their customers.
Augmented reality (AR) technologies are expected to be applied in various fields such as healthcare and retail, where they will improve diagnostic accuracy and create virtual marketplaces, respectively. The combination of meta-universe, generative AI, augmented and virtual reality technologies is set to blur the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds, creating perspectives limited only by human imagination.
These and other innovations are already changing our reality today, creating conditions for us without which it is already quite difficult to imagine a familiar picture of the world. What technological trends do you think we should expect to see develop in the near future? Share your opinion with us in the comments.
