Here are the key points in Amazon’s CTO, Werner Vogel’s, trend insights:
”Tomorrow’s employees will not only be driven by financial success and career development, but by a deeper desire to create positive change in the world. Those organizations and companies that adopt a goal-driven approach will also succeed the most.
Energy efficiency drives innovation. Rising energy needs and climate requirements are driving a transformation in how we generate, store and consume energy. The expansion of nuclear power and the continued growth of renewable energy will lay the foundation for a future where our energy infrastructure is a catalyst for innovation, not a constraint.
Technology is helping us find accurate information. As disinformation spreads at an unprecedented rate, a new wave of AI-powered tools will emerge to better empower journalists, researchers, and engaged citizens to find accurate information. This technological revolution will accelerate fact-checking and begin to close the gap between the spread of misinformation and its debunking.
Open data powers decentralized disaster preparedness: Disaster preparedness will fundamentally change through the power of hyperlocal and shared data. This shift will redefine disaster management from a top-down, reactive model to one that is proactive, decentralized, and shared.
A new breed of consumer technology is taking hold. A subtle shift is underway that is redefining our relationship with consumer technology. As more and more people seek refuge from constant distraction, devices are emerging that prioritize mindfulness and deep thinking over a bombardment of fleeting stimuli. In 2025 and beyond, technology will empower us rather than distract us—and we will feel better for it.”
