Summary
In June, we published our list of the top 10 emerging technologies. In this report, we detail 10 additional technologies that missed the cut. We include four short-term technologies — aerial drones, AI chips, sustainability management technology, and synthetic data — that can deliver benefits quickly. We also include four medium-term technologies — blockchain, decentralized digital identity, explainable AI, and sensory AI — that will take two to five more years to deliver expected benefits. Lastly, we discuss two long-term technologies — 6G and quantum computing platforms — both of which present big potential benefits and substantial risks. Read this report to understand the benefit horizons and use cases for each technology before you consider deeper investigation and potential adoption.
