As always, we know we will be wrong, but it doesn\u2019t stop us speculating! There might be fears of global recessions and doom and gloom, but the tech sector will keep innovating!

1. Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> \u2013 What will we see this year? As the year closed out, many people astounded by ChatGPT and what they could ask it to do.\u00a0 One thing I couldn\u2019t ask it was to make any tech predictions for this year, \u00a0but I predict that either ChatGPT or similar tools will have no such constraints by the end of the year.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/kinetics.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChatGPT.jpg” title_text=”ChatGPT” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/kinetics.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/RobotAI.jpg” title_text=”RobotAI” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] We have seen significant advances in the application of AI in many aspects of daily life \u2013 such as transport, drones, robotic home appliances (lawn mowers and vacuums etc) and even starting in retail commerce.<\/p>\n The next generation of these will be much more commonplace by the end of this year, and they will be widely accepted.\u00a0 The applications are broad, from travel to design, retail to financial.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] 2. Free Speech Online<\/strong> \u2013 the social challenges around social media have hit such a point that there has to be some technology that will limit issues such \u2018trolling\u2019, and influencing democracy. Clearly the ability to remain largely anonymous emboldens people, and the potential to harness AI bots to flood the internet with messages that unfairly influence outcomes such as elections or normalises abhorrent and anti-social behaviour has become so significant that there has to be a solution. \u00a0<\/p>\n Legislation isn\u2019t enough.\u00a0 We hope that if mankind could develop an effective Covid vaccination, it can also develop a solution to make the internet a safer place, even if that is limited to known safe-zones on the internet.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/kinetics.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SocialLimits.jpg” title_text=”SocialLimits” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] 3.\u00a0Things your grandparents would never comprehend<\/strong> \u2013 whether it is blockchain, NFTs, or the metaverse, the new inventions to secure IP and to exploit it in new engaging platforms will only accelerate. There has been a slowdown of tech IPO rollouts, but the developments and research will push on.\u00a0 What we might see this year is that the home for much of this innovation will be much more broad than Silicon Valley although that will remain relevant as the source of investment tech capital for the immediate future.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
