2022 saw several large crypto crashes, the sale of Twitter, and brands first tentative steps into the metaverse. It’s hard to say what 2023 will bring, but we can safely predict these trends will be high on the agenda:
1. The role of AI will continue to grow
Machine learning and AI are nothing new but it is becoming far more sophisticated and mainstream. Adoption has been limited, but it has become more affordable to SMBs, which will drive the uptake. We’ll also see increasing use of computer vision technologies whereby computers and systems derive meaningful information from digital images and video. It’s already used by utility and manufacturing companies for predictive maintenance, and has revolutionised the use of medical imaging and diagnosis in the healthcare space.
2. Developers will need data science credentials
Data scientists will move back into the business landscape while analysts will upskill with software and data science credentials as well. We’re not only using Big Data to make commercial decisions but to improve software development processes as a whole, and technologists need to upskill to reflect that need.
