Each year we research prominent areas of advancement in technology, some of which are continually ongoing (and have been previously referenced). Being a big proponent of personalised medicine and the use of new technologies in healthcare already we have not included this on-going trend.

Here we share Delta2020's tech annual themes for 2022:

1. Generative artificial intelligence (GAN) – 'whatever you can do AI ‘GAN’ do better!'

GAN uses unsupervised learning algorithms to generate creative content such as audio, video, and digital images in addition to text and code. Analysts predict rapid adoption with less than 1% of the target audience being met. Furthermore, Gartner believe generative AI will be used for fraud, forgery, scams, and political disinformation, expecting it to account for 10% of all data produced by 2025 (as referenced in the Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies – see opening image).

2. Total Experience (TX) and interconnectivity – 'a seamless connection'

Total experience combines superior shared experiences by bringing together four disciplines:

• Multi Experience (MX)

• Customer Experience (CX)

• Employee Experience (EX)

• User Experience (UX)

By 2024, Gartner predict that organizations providing a total experience will outperform competitors by 25% in satisfaction metrics for both CX and EX.

Fundamental technologies such as multi-core (two or more CPUs working together on the same chip) will provide higher performances at lower energy consumption rates improving interconnectivity quality along with Silicon photonics that will address bandwidth, latency, and energy challenges in the fabric of high-end systems.
