From generative artificial intelligence to advances in quantum computing, 2024 looks like a disruptive year in which technology will continue to advance by leaps and bounds. What does the future hold for us?
These are 5 IBM predictions that will mark the business agenda next year:
Generative AI is not a silver bullet
Business leaders have slowly realized that as exciting as generative AI (GAI) is, it is not necessarily the right technology to solve every problem. This trend will accelerate as organizations realize there is a wider range of AI technologies to leverage, such as foundational models. These models can solve specific problems or needs for companies by optimizing their own data.
Midlife crisis will lead ransomware to a transformation
Ransomware might face a recession in 2024: many countries have pledged not to pay ransoms and fewer and fewer companies are bowing to the pressure, creating a cash flow problem for cybercriminals. Although a significant change in extortion attacks is predicted, ransomware will not disappear, but rather will suffer a makeoveras it will focus on consumers or small businesses, where ransom demands will be lower.
Unity will be the force around generative AI
Today, no one generative AI model rules everything. The future will be shaped by an open community, with access to trusted AI technology that can be easily integrated into solutions and offerings. The technology ecosystem will be critical to driving IAG across the enterprise as new types of compute, storage, and foundational models continue to develop. This approach will promote greater cooperation and competition to bring solutions to market quickly.
It’s time for companies to know their own cryptography
Quantum systems continue to advance. Some studies suggest that by 2030, they might have the ability to break the most used security protocols in the world. Considering that the computers we use today are vulnerable to data theft that might be cracked in the future, companies must identify their encryption to transition to Quantum-Safe encryption. Some estimates show that this change might take up to 15 years.
With more AI, greater presence of edge computing in business
More companies may shift their data center strategy to edge computing in 2024 to meet the data processing needs of the new era of AI. This allows IT operations to be distributed across a network of different locations, increasing availability and enabling the use and analysis of data in real time, locally. Additionally, it reduces network costs and helps address AI security challenges while adhering to regulatory requirements.
