By IEEE Computer Society Team on
January 13, 2022
Watch 2022 Tech Predictions Sneak Peek

2022 Tech PredicationsThe impact of the COVID-19 has left its imprint on human lives, supply chains, workforce, and education. In 2022, we will continue to see rapid technological advancement to meet the needs of our global society as it transforms beyond the limitations of the past couple of years.

This year’s Computer Society predictions continue to focus on addressing and preventing future pandemics while exploring new opportunities technology will have in seven areas: core technologies, security, reliability, AI, healthcare, industry verticals, and productivity tools.

Sign Up to access the 2023 Technology Predictions when they're release in January 2023.

Access 2023 Predictions

Prediction Likelihood vs. Desirability

The team measured the predictions in terms of likelihood and desirability, as shown in the graph. Datacentric AI is the most likely, and remote medicine is the most desirable. Most technologies show correlation, they are similarly likely and desirable. However, there are some outliers, such as NFTs which are much less desirable than likely and Confidential Computing which is much less likely than desirable.
