Once again, we’ve reached the time of year when we look ahead at what technology has in store for us in 2024. Digital transformation doesn’t end – it’s an ongoing process, and the breakthrough trends that have made 2023 one of the most exciting years for innovation will continue to reshape our world in many exciting ways.

Machine intelligence, the blurring of the boundaries between the real and the virtual, and shaping the ongoing evolution of the internet will all radically impact our lives. But perhaps most important of all will be the search for ways to continue to grow and prosper while minimizing the damage we do to the environment – and perhaps even reversing some of the damage that’s been done in the past.

So here’s my overview of these game-changing trends, along with my predictions for how each of them will impact life, society and the planet.

**Generative AI – Everyday Automation**

2023 was the year that generative AI burst into the mainstream. 2024 will be the year that the world gets to grips with how truly powerful and useful it can be. Today, if you’re not a techie, just the phrase _artificial intelligence_ (AI) can cause a shiver of fear – if you’re not worried about it taking over the world or [destroying the human race](https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2023/05/03/should-we-stop-developing-ai-for-the-good-of-humanity/ "https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2023/05/03/should-we-stop-developing-ai-for-the-good-of-humanity/"), you might be nervously waiting for it to [steal your job](https://bernardmarr.com/instead-of-destroying-jobs-artificial-intelligence-ai-is-creating-new-jobs-in-4-out-of-5-companies/ "https://bernardmarr.com/instead-of-destroying-jobs-artificial-intelligence-ai-is-creating-new-jobs-in-4-out-of-5-companies/") and make you redundant.

But as generative AI finds its way into more of the applications we use every day, from search engines to office software, design packages and communications tools, people will come to understand its potential. Used properly, it’s like having a super-smart personal assistant on hand 24/7, making us more efficient, faster and more productive.

Most importantly, by handing over our everyday _menial brainwork_ – obtaining information, scheduling, managing compliance, organizing ideas, structuring projects – to AIs, we will find ourselves with more time to leverage our truly human skills. We will spend more time being creative, exploring new ideas and original thinking, or communicating with humans rather than programming machines. The genie is out of the bottle, and while there are undeniable challenges around [ethics](https://www.techtarget.com/searchenterpriseai/tip/Generative-AI-ethics-8-biggest-concerns "https://www.techtarget.com/searchenterpriseai/tip/Generative-AI-ethics-8-biggest-concerns") and [regulation](https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2023/08/08/is-generative-ai-stealing-from-artists/?sh=5bd049a85d1e "https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2023/08/08/is-generative-ai-stealing-from-artists/?sh=5bd049a85d1e") that still have to be solved, I believe 2024 will be the year when everyone starts to understand just how transformative generative AI will be to our lives.

**Phygital Convergence**

The real and the digital are becoming increasingly intertwined. Technologies like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and the _immersive internet_ are breaking down barriers between the physical world and the digital domains where we are spending more and more of our time. More so than ever before, we exist as digital avatars within virtual environments. This is true for work, where we collaborate remotely through platforms like Zoom, Teams and Slack, and play, where online gaming and e-sports are more popular than ever. We use social apps like TikTok and Instagram to create virtual spaces where we share moments from our “real” lives – curated and filtered to create digital personalities that become our _virtual_ selves.

Across industries, we see this concept emerging in the form of the _digital twin_ – a virtual representation of a real-world object, system or process. This could be as simple as an individual component or as complex as an entire city or even an ecosystem. Importantly, the digital twin is built from data captured from its real-world counterpart. Advances in the science of genomics mean we can break down the fundamental essence of life into digital code, which can then be manipulated and rebuilt in the real world in order to engineer new drugs and eradicate diseases.

In 2024, we will continue to see less and less distinction between the real world and the virtual world. This means the digital is becoming increasingly realistic, and the real is becoming as flexible and malleable as the digital.

**Sustainable Technology**

Sustainable technology will continue to take center stage during 2024 as countries and corporations continue to work on meeting net-zero commitments. At the same time, individuals will increasingly leverage technology in order to minimize their personal impact on the environment.

Sustainable technology includes more environmentally-friendly ways of doing things we already do – such as the electric cars, bikes and public transport that will continue to increase their market share in 2024. It also includes novel solutions to environmental problems, such as [carbon capture and storage](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/30/what-is-carbon-capture-usage-and-storage "https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/30/what-is-carbon-capture-usage-and-storage"), as well as green and renewable energy technologies. The [circular economy](https://bernardmarr.com/revolutionizing-the-auto-industry-embracing-the-circular-economy-for-a-sustainable-future/ "https://bernardmarr.com/revolutionizing-the-auto-industry-embracing-the-circular-economy-for-a-sustainable-future/") will become an increasingly important concept as durability, recyclability and reusability are built directly into products at the design stage. And the tech world will further embrace ideas such as [green cloud computing](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/green-cloud-computing/ "https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/green-cloud-computing/"), where infrastructure and services prioritize the reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions and [sustainable apps](https://www.activesustainability.com/sustainable-life/top-10-apps-for-sustainable-living/?_adin=02021864894 "https://www.activesustainability.com/sustainable-life/top-10-apps-for-sustainable-living/?_adin=02021864894") – software tools designed to help us live in a more eco-friendly manner.

Challenges that developers and users of sustainable technology will need to face during 2024 will include a need to develop ethical and sustainable methods for sourcing and extracting materials needed for manufacturing devices, infrastructure demands created by changing consumer habits such as the adoption of electric vehicles, and potential disparities between different geographic or socio-economic groups in their ability to access green alternatives. We will also become increasingly alert to the presence of _greenwashing_ – superficial efforts intended purely to generate positive PR around a particular technology.

**Cyber Resilience**

Research suggests that [one in two](https://sosafe-awareness.com/resources/reports/human-risk-review/ "https://sosafe-awareness.com/resources/reports/human-risk-review/") businesses has been the victim of a successful cyberattack in the past three years, and the cost of these attacks to industry is expected to grow to over [$10 trillion](https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckbrooks/2023/03/05/cybersecurity-trends--statistics-for-2023-more-treachery-and-risk-ahead-as-attack-surface-and-hacker-capabilities-grow/?sh=458dca9219db "https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckbrooks/2023/03/05/cybersecurity-trends--statistics-for-2023-more-treachery-and-risk-ahead-as-attack-surface-and-hacker-capabilities-grow/?sh=458dca9219db") by the end of 2024. In the face of this fast-growing threat, technology solutions designed to bolster defenses and provide us with a fighting chance are high on every organization’s must-have list.

Cyber resilience goes beyond cyber security, though, as it also encapsulates measures that can be taken to recover and ensure continuity when defenses are breached or due to circumstances beyond our control. This might mean having remote working procedures in place to ensure businesses can function when staff can’t get to central locations – a technology solution that might not traditionally be considered an element of cyber security.

Automation of cyber defense through AI and machine learning, integrated frameworks that merge security measures with continuity protocols and awareness of societal factors from social engineering attacks to PR firefighting are all essential elements of any cyber resilience strategy.

Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, and competition to bring new solutions leveraging breakthrough technologies like AI to market is intensifying. This ensures that cyber resilience will become an increasingly prominent trend throughout 2024 across business and consumer technology.

**Quantum Computing**

There’s been a growing buzz around quantum computing for a while now, and I believe 2024 will mark the year when this is set to transition to tangible benefits. Quantum computers are capable of carrying out vast numbers of calculations simultaneously by harnessing weird and wonderful elements of quantum physics, such as quantum entanglement and superposition. This enables them to operate using quantum bits (qubits) that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, rather than a state of either 1 or 0, like traditional computer bits.

Early investors in quantum technology include [banks and financial services organizations](https://aibusiness.com/verticals/quantum-computing-to-offer-real-commercial-benefits-by-2024- "https://aibusiness.com/verticals/quantum-computing-to-offer-real-commercial-benefits-by-2024-") that hope to be able to enhance the power of AI systems developed in recent years for purposes of fraud detection, risk management and high-frequency trading.

Quantum computing doesn’t speed up every job we use computers for, but in 2024, I think we will start to see benefits as it’s applied across various compute-heavy fields, including drug discovery, [genome sequencing](https://www.nanowerk.com/news2/biotech/newsid=63429.php "https://www.nanowerk.com/news2/biotech/newsid=63429.php"), cryptography, [meteorology](https://1qbit.com/blog/quantum-computing/forecasting-the-weather-using-quantum-computers/ "https://1qbit.com/blog/quantum-computing/forecasting-the-weather-using-quantum-computers/"), material science, optimization of complex systems such as [traffic flow](https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/volkswagen-optimizes-traffic-flow-with-quantum-computers-5507/download "https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/volkswagen-optimizes-traffic-flow-with-quantum-computers-5507/download") through large cities, and even the search for [extraterrestrial life](https://www.zdnet.com/article/scientists-are-using-quantum-computing-to-help-them-discover-signs-of-life-on-other-planets/ "https://www.zdnet.com/article/scientists-are-using-quantum-computing-to-help-them-discover-signs-of-life-on-other-planets/").

These are all fields that hold enormous potential for solving challenges facing us and our planet, and I’m very excited to find out what breakthroughs will be achieved with the help of quantum computing in the near future.
