What advancements does 2023 promise in technology?

2023 promises greater visibility and use of technologies that are often heard about, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR), but which users do not necessarily identify as part of their everyday experience.

According to experts, the evolution in virtual reality, new possibilities in encryption, the abolition of cable internet connections, among others, are among the various proposals that will stand out this new year.

Here are some trends expected to dominate consumer technology:

Virtual reality

Technologies related to virtual reality are growing at a rapid pace. The most prominent advances to be seen this new year will focus on graphics processors, the power of electronic devices and the improvement of virtual reality devices.

It’s not just the gaming world that will reap these benefits: education and professional development will be supported by virtual reality to enhance areas of learning; and tourism will also take advantage, since it will be possible to visit cities that no longer exist or walk through lost civilizations, without having to leave home.

Cryptography and encryption

You’ll hear a lot about “grid cryptography,” a technology that manages to outsmart cybercriminals by hiding user data inside complex algebraic structures.

Wi-Fi 7 is coming

With ultra high speeds (up to 2.4 times faster) and low latency. In addition, it will be able to support quadrature amplitude modulation technology in 4K, as well as use 320 Mhz channels. With the multi-link technology it includes, it will be possible to add multiple channels with different frequencies at the same time. It’s possible that with WiFi 7 it can even replace a wired internet connection.

Artificial intelligence in production.

Factors such as outdated technologies, inefficient organizational systems or low investment in research and development cause large amounts of energy, materials and time. By using artificial intelligence in 2023, it will be possible to organize and process data from intelligent algorithms to optimize production and quality, reduce waste by up to 50% of the total amount and achieve more sustainable production.

quantum computing

It is perfect for solving complex problems, such as chemical reactions through simulations to create, for example, new drugs, reduce emissions or even reduce product development cycles and save on research and development costs.

Drug

Medical advances in early detection of diseases such as cancer, with improved diagnostic evaluation, better genome sequencing technology and greater accuracy. The technology will also enable a revolution in treatment: gene editing and immunotherapy will have far fewer side effects and provide greater benefits in less time.

End of passwords

According to the FIDO Alliance, an association of companies whose goal is to eliminate or reduce the excessive use of passwords, passwords are responsible for 80% of data breaches, due to the misuse most people use. The intention of this association is to replace traditional passwords with biometric systems. That is, they require, for example, face, voice or fingerprint detection.
