The world is moving fast and 2024 is going to be a big year for many new innovations. Here are some to watch:

Quantum computing is going to make big leaps, and will change fields like cryptography, drug discovery and materials science. As the hardware and software gets better we will see practical quantum applications that will change many industries.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting smarter, with progress in areas like natural language processing, computer vision and generative AI. The rise of large language models like GPT-4 will allow us to have more human like interactions with AI systems and will open up new applications in education, healthcare and creative industries.

Renewable energy will make big strides as we need to address climate change. Breakthroughs in solar, wind and energy storage will bring down the cost and efficiency of clean energy and accelerate the move away from fossil fuels.

Biotechnology and gene editing, especially with CRISPR, is opening up new possibilities to treat genetic disorders, develop personalized medicines and increase agricultural productivity. As these technologies get more mature they will have a big impact on human health and food security.

That’s just a taste of what’s to come in 2024 and beyond. The world is moving fast, and we’ll see more. Soon. Very soon.
