<p>A radar chart displaying technology trends across five categories: Intelligence, Computing, Smart Interfaces, Augmented Experience, and Security, with projected timelines ranging from 2023 to

In 2023, predictive AI and IPA had a mid impact on the Intelligence category; edge computing had a small impact on the Computing category; robotics had a mid impact and IoT had a small impact on the Smart Interfaces category; virtual reality had a mid impact on the Augmented Experience category; and biometrics had a small impact on the Security category. Up to 2025, generative AI has a bit impact and descriptive AI has a mid impact on the Intelligence category; swarm computing has a small impact on the Computing category, augmented reality has a mid impact on Augmented Experience; web3 has a small impact on the Augmented Experience and the Security categories; and blockchain has a small impact on Security. Beyond 2025, AGI systems will have a mid impact on the Intelligence category; quantum technologies will have a small impact on the Computing category; brain computing interfaces will have a small impact on the Smart Interfaces category; spatial computing will have a mid impact on the Augmented Experience category; and post-quantum cryptography will have a small impact on the Security category.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-root"> <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x grid-margin-y align-justify"> <div class="cell"> <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x grid-margin-y align-justify align-bottom"> <div class="cell"> <div class="cell-text"> <h2>We have identified three main features that a technology needs to coexist in order to be defined as emerging technology</h2> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cell cell-image medium-3" data-image="[https://cdn.idc.com/eu/resource-center/RESOURCES/IMAGES/emerging_technologies/feature_1-S.jpg?guid=db95a0e8-eef2-408f-bb20-565f00c7871f, small], [https://cdn.idc.com/eu/resource-center/RESOURCES/IMAGES/emerging_technologies/feature_1-M.jpg?guid=a9b8b5a2-e495-4dce-a66b-9f255c8e3f4c, medium]"> </div> <div class="cell medium-9"> <div class="cell-text"> <h3>Early maturity stage</h3> <p>The technology needs to be in an early stage, meaning that:</p> <ul> <li>It is beyond the conceptual phase</li> <li>It is still in the development phase</li> <li>It already has a real business application</li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="cell cell-image medium-3" data-image="[https://cdn.idc.com/eu/resource-center/RESOURCES/IMAGES/emerging_technologies/feature_2-S.jpg?guid=61ddc9da-65ee-4baa-83b9-35475e1cb5bc, small], [https://cdn.idc.com/eu/resource-center/RESOURCES/IMAGES/emerging_technologies/feature_2-M.jpg?guid=ca811a0b-d59f-4539-8238-9fe6a1e51102, medium]"> </div> <div class="cell medium-9"> <div class="cell-text"> <h3>Changing the status quo</h3> <p>The technology must be able to change the status quo.
