Shaping our Human by Design Future: the Newest Tech Trend

After years of exponential innovation and advancements, technology wields more human-like capabilities than ever before. In fact, we have reached an inflection point with technology evolution, thanks mostly to generative AI, where we will experience unprecedented human productivity and creativity.

As our latest Technology Vision suggests, we will see a new wave of reinvention that not only impacts every part of every business but also creates exponential value for enterprises and society.

This week at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, we launched the Accenture Technology Vision , our 24th annual forecast of the technology trends that will shape the future. Our report, Human by Design: How AI unleashes the next level of human potential, explores how AI and other disruptive technologies like spatial computing and body-sensing technologies are becoming more like us and more intuitive.

As this happens, people will achieve more and accomplish things they once considered impossible. To take full advantage of this seismic shift in the way people work, live and learn, organizations must ensure future technology is Human by Design.

Technology Vision 2024 presentation on CES stage, January 9, 2024

During my Tech Vision presentation at CES, I was joined on stage with such visionaries as Dr. Fei Fei Li of Stanford , founder of AI4ALL, Will Beery who as CIO of Mars Snacking, has led Mars on a journey of business reinvention across digital spaces, and Mary Hamilton on our Innovation team who shared how body sensing technologies can help improve how people live. You can view the replay here.

I saw some incredible innovations around CES and met with some inspiring industry leaders. We all agreed that we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reframe our relationship with technology and design it to be more human and more responsible at the outset.

The CES event itself captured the spirit of our Tech Vision as it displayed burgeoning human-like technology such as Gen AI-driven chatbots, body-sensing wearables and immersive, spatial computing-created environments. The idea that human-like technology is becoming ingrained into the fabric of lives as to become hardly noticeable was evident everywhere at CES.

For example, in our own Innovation Hub at CES, I loved my VR-enabled race experience inside a Lamborghini. Our BrainGym’s neurosensing capability, a digital human concierge powered by Gen AI, an immersive golfing experience with the LPGA and numerous presentations with industry leaders also brought the Tech Vision to life.

?Accenture's Technology Vision identifies four Human by Design trends that amplify human potential: ?

  • A match made in AI: Everyone in the future will be equipped with AI-powered assistants that go beyond simple search and synthesize information for access to great knowledge capabilities and resources.
  • Meet my agent: AI and ecosystems evolve from performing singular tasks to becoming agents that work with each other and act on behalf of people and enterprises with the potential to take productivity and innovation to new levels.
  • The space we need: We create more holistic interactions with the world around us as physical blends with digital with the help of metaverse, digital twins and AR/VR technologies.
  • Our bodies electronic: A new human interface emerges using innovative, embedded technologies such as AI-powered wearables, brain-sensing neurotech, and eye and movement tracking to unlock deeper insights into how we work and live.

Join us as we step boldly into the future and help us shape our relationship with technology. One we believe must always be Human by Design.

Absolutely loving this report with a strong emphasis on reinforcing and responding to the human condition -- and connecting the dots between #AI, #spatialcomputing, #XR, #BCI, and more. But noticeably lacking is any substantial discussion about integrating and leveraging these technologies to accelerate solving society's most wicked problems! For example, can we leverage this "humanized tech" to develop #digitaltwins to optimize energy consumption, and give us a fighting chance against #climatechange?

Love this - the fact that technology is becoming more human-like is a real revolution and has far-reaching consequences. For the first time, it brings technology to the masses without requiring much learning. #genai is easy to use for everyone and rapidly brings simple answers to complex questions. Yet Gen AI also transforms behaviors and the way we do things. Similarly for companies, Gen AI does require a reinvention of every process and roles to take real advantage of it's power. It's one of the most transformative technology wave we have ever seen.

some of us are top flight advisors to AI startups with key operational roles and accountability rather than just speaking or writing about it ??? Cheers....Steve CAIO / CPO myplankeeper.ai AI startup advisor 'force multiplier' https://www.forcemultipliersteveardire.com
