Abstract:

The Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies distills key insights from more than 2,000 technologies and applied frameworks that Gartner profiles each year into a succinct set of 25  “must-know” emerging technologies. These technologies have potential to deliver transformational benefits over the next two to 10 years.

Every Hype Cycle includes five phases: The innovation trigger, the peak of inflated expectations, the trough of disillusionment, the slope of enlightenment, and the plateau of productivity.

In this year’s 2024 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies,  top 25 technologies fall into four key areas: Autonomous AI, Developer Productivity, Total Experience, and Human-centric Security and Privacy programs.

In this seminar Dr. Kao will discuss the four main themes and explain the 25 technologies mentioned in the 2024 Hype Chart.

Among the 25 technologies the following stand out:
Machine customers, Humanoid working robots, Prompt engineering, Digital twins, Spatial computing, 6G, Digital immune systems, Federated machine learning, and Homomorphic encryption.

 

Come and join us for this informative technical talk on the next step in  AI .
