Every government and public sector organization must have 11 emerging technologies on its radar. Four short-term technologies — synthetic data, decentralized digital identity, TuringBots, and genAI for language — can deliver benefits quickly. Five medium-term technologies — explainable AI, zero-party data platforms, quantum security, autonomous mobility, and AI agents — will deliver expected benefits in two to five years. Two long-term technologies — quantum computing platforms and Zero Trust edge — present big potential benefits and substantial risks. Read this report to understand the use cases and benefit horizon of each technology before considering deeper investigation and potential adoption.
