What to Expect in the Technology Landscape in?2024
I recently wrote an article titled 10 Emerging Technologies to Change Our Lives and Global Economy Starting in 2030. My predictions were wild but grounded in extensive research and hands-on experience with technological and scientific advancements. I leverage technology and science to enhance health outcomes and invest in technology stocks, drawing from my expertise in emerging technologies.
Some subscribers who know about my tech background wanted to know what will happen to the tech industry in 2024. Since we are approaching the new year, I want to share my predictions and perspectives in this story briefly.
Considering my involvement as a senior technology consultant and reviews as a postdoctoral researcher, I expect several technological issues in 2023 will likely dominate discussions and shape the technological landscape in 2024 more intensely.
I’d like to summarize the highlights and introduce you to relevant and interesting articles in this concise story.
1?—?AI?Ethics
As artificial intelligence permeates all industries, concerns regarding ethical use, bias, and accountability in AI algorithms can intensify. Strides in creating fair and transparent AI systems while addressing biases will be an essential topic to be discussed and tackled. As mentioned before, AI ethics matter as we are about to enter the area of artificial superintelligence.

2?—?Generative AI
Generative AI will take center stage in 2024, pushing boundaries across various domains. Its prowess in creating art, music, and literature will reach new heights, blurring the lines between human and machine creativity. It might streamline workflows and enhance productivity in design and content creation.
However, ethical concerns amplify regarding deepfakes and misinformation, emphasizing the urgent need for stringent regulations. Collaboration between AI and humans emerges as a critical focus, underlining the importance of responsible AI development and its impact on society.
I recently wrote an article about this from a content development angle, which might give you valuable insights.

3?—?Privacy
With the increasing collection and utilization of personal data, preserving user privacy and strengthening data protection measures will remain on the global agenda. Stricter regulations and heightened awareness about data privacy violations will be focal points. I curated an insightful story written by Mike Grindle.

4?—?Cybersecurity
The increasing cyber threat landscape will persist, prompting the need for more sophisticated cybersecurity measures by government authorities and organizations. Protecting against ransomware attacks and data breaches and ensuring critical infrastructure security will be critical. Cybersecurity is also a critical concern on this platform, as I documented in a recent story.

Governments worldwide will likely continue efforts to regulate big tech companies, addressing antitrust issues, monopolistic practices, and the control of vast amounts of user data by tech giants. Fintech, short for financial technology, refers to innovative digital solutions and technology-driven advancements revolutionizing and optimizing various aspects of financial services and transactions. Last December, I curated an informative article by VirtualMixx on FinTech predictions.

Conclusions
I expect these issues to significantly shape technological discourse, innovation, and policy decisions in 2024, influencing how society interacts and benefits from technological advancements.
Today, I curated an interesting article on ILLUMINATION-Curated written by a strategy consultant Adrien Book. He provided interesting 24 predictions covering mainly technology and social media topics. I believe you will enjoy his concise article as much as I did.
As Adrien concludes, our decisions and actions matter because we may influence whether these predictions do or don’t become a reality.
Thank you for reading my perspectives. I wish you a healthy and happy life.
