Over the next ten years, we will see more advances than we have in the past hundred years. Based on this vision from Peter Diamandis, co-founder of Singularity University, the consulting firm McKinsey presents the 10 technology trends that are changing the world.
What are they? Let's see:
- First, McKinsey highlights the next major leap that automation and virtualization processes will take. The result? By 2025, half of the tasks currently being performed will be automated.
- The second technology mentioned by McKinsey has already arrived in Chile: increased connectivity. In this regard, McKinsey estimates that 80% of the global population will be connected to 5G by 2030.
- The adoption of distributed infrastructure ranks third. The consulting firm estimates that 75% of the data generated by organizations will be processed via cloud or edge computing by 2025.
- Next-generation computing: McKisney estimates that by 2035, the potential value of large-scale quantum computing use cases will exceed US$1 trillion (one million million).
- Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI): More than 75% of touchpoints with support services (such as voice assistants) will see improved usability, enhanced personalization, and increased conversion rates.
- The Future of Programming: The time required for software and analytics development will be reduced by a factor of 30 compared to current levels.
- Trust architecture: About 10% of global GDP will be linked to blockchain by 2027.
- Biorevolution: The cost of sequencing the human genome has fallen 45-fold over the past 10 years.
- New generation of materials: The number of patents filed between 2008 and 2018 has increased tenfold.
- The Future of Clean Technologies: More than 75% of the energy consumed globally will be generated from renewable sources by 2050.
