We expect 2024 to be a transitional year in tech; let’s see why, as Deloitte and Gartner reveal the hottest tech trends for 2024, starring AI, security management and plenty of smartphone action. Ready? Let’s dive in to take a deeper look...
Deloitte predicts more companies will use super-smart AI by 2024! Big software companies will spend tons (like $50 billion tons!) on AI chips. And guess what? By the end of 2024, they might make $10 billion from it! Fun fact: More than 70% of companies experiment with generative AI today, but less than 20% are willing to spend more money than they currently are on it
Democratized Generative AI! Generative AI has gone mainstream, thanks to cloud computing and open-source models. Gartner predicts that by 2026, 80% of enterprises will have used Generative AI APIs and models, leading to a 45% increase in AI budgets
AI Trust, Risk, and Security Management (AI TRiSM) are pivotal for success! Gartner recommends adopting this framework to ensure compliant, reliable, and privacy-protected AI systems
AI-Augmented Development empowers software engineers to focus on higher-level tasks, automating coding and testing! According to Gartner, this optimization enhances productivity and meets the growing demands for business software
Smartphone 2024 trends are led by authentication and satellite service! Deloitte forecasts a shift, with phones unlocking doors, making payments, and even controlling cars. Satellite connectivity may reshape phone use in areas with no traditional coverage!
Cloud sovereignty changes how cloud operators look at locations! The philosophy of “cloud sovereignty” gains traction, emphasizing geopolitical boundaries for cloud computing. Data security and geopolitical tensions drive a shift towards localised cloud resources
But wait, there’s more… Intelligent Applications, Augmented-Connected Workforce, Machine Customers (“custobots”), Continuous Threat Exposure Management, Sustainable Technology, Platform Engineering, and Industry Cloud Platforms are all on the rise, shaping the tech landscape in 2024 and beyond!
