The electric vehicle reveals the full extent of its benefits
With rising energy prices and power cuts, individuals and businesses are having to adopt new habits to limit their consumption. New intelligent applications enable drivers to determine the energy needed by the electric vehicle for everyday travel. Businesses and households can then use the remainder of the battery to power machines or meet their domestic energy needs. This way of using your electric vehicle to save energy is little known to the general public. This is even truer for baby-boomers and Generation X, for whom the car still has a symbolic dimension, whereas the younger generations see the car as a simple tool for getting from point A to point B, and if possible, with minimal environmental impact. By 2023, we'll be seeing a proliferation of campaigns aimed at informing the public, young and old alike, of the many benefits of EVs for individuals and businesses alike.
Quantum technology in the service of climate change
In addition to shortening engineering design times from a quarter of a century to just a few years to complete a design cycle, quantum technology could also improve decision-making through complex modeling and forecasting, while ensuring compliance with emission standards. In the long term, this would help combat global warming, predict the intensity of future climatic disasters and determine whether to order evacuations or shelter in place. As a result, the loss of life due to hurricanes and other weather-related natural disasters could be reduced.
How much will it cost to bring 6G to the most remote areas?
With the rollout of 6G, rural areas and remote industries such as rail, offshore drilling or large-scale mining would benefit from improved connectivity. What's more, the network's ultra-low latency would further accelerate the rollout of broadband, which wouldn't go unnoticed by the under-25s. These people are digital natives, and don't hesitate to join virtual groups or share everything online. In the next few years, we can expect to see more discussion about how these younger generations would use their smartphones to send money to each other. But these benefits will come at a cost, as the technology will be much more expensive than its predecessors. So expect disparities in adoption.
Automation software
The traditional approach to autonomous testing is energy-intensive and has a high environmental cost. To solve these problems, intelligent test optimization, whose aim is to run only those tests known to help identify a problem, would now be preferred. Indeed, the content of digital products, including all constituent parts and third-party components, must be detailed and certified to guarantee their authenticity. As products become more complex and accumulate increasing amounts of data, standards control will need to be assured by technology that can analyze and test faster and more accurately than humans. For this reason, AI more easily meets these requirements for systems and devices. By using AI to test AI, the testing of these systems would enable responses to be understood and validated against acceptable behavior.
When AI facilitates the work of hackers
In 2023, the creativity of hackers will know no bounds. Indeed, advances in deep faking are driving hackers to use images, generated audio and conversations that appear realistic to entice recipients to share personal data or other sensitive information. What's more, hackers will also be able to penetrate smart homes. As attacks multiply, IoT manufacturers will need to formulate their response to IoT-based extortion. Not stopping at individuals and businesses, the number of targeted attacks aimed at disabling or destroying the availability of systems with the aim of physically harming people will rise sharply. For example, ransomware attacks against vital equipment in the healthcare sector could cause many deaths.
