One of our most anticipated reports each year is out—a comprehensive look at the most significant tech trends unfolding today, from agentic AI to the future of mobility to bioengineering. It provides CEOs with insights on how to embrace frontier technology that has the potential to transform industries and create new opportunities for growth.   Here’s my top-line take: —Equity investments rose in 10 out of 13 tech trends in 2024, with 7 of those trends recovering from declines in the previous year. This rebound signals growing confidence in emerging technologies. —We're witnessing a significant shift in autonomous systems going from pilots to practical applications. Systems like robots and digital agents, are not only executing tasks but also learning and adapting. Agentic AI saw a $1.1 billion equity investment in 2024 alone. —The interface between humans and machines is becoming more natural and intuitive. Advances in immersive training environments, haptic robotics, voice-driven copilots, and sensor-enabled wearables are making technology more responsive to human needs. —And, of course, the AI effect stands out as both a powerful trend in its own right and a foundational amplifier of others. AI is accelerating robotics training, advancing bioengineering discoveries, optimizing energy systems, and more. The sheer scale of investment in AI is staggering, with $124.3 billion in equity investment in 2024 alone.   Let's discuss: Which of these trends do you think will have the most significant impact on your industry? Share your thoughts in the comments below!   Big thanks to my colleagues Lareina Yee, Michael Chui, Roger Roberts, and Sven Smit.   #TechTrends #AI #Innovation #FutureOfWork #EmergingTech http://mck.co/techtrends

The global technology landscape is undergoing significant shifts, propelled by fast-moving innovations in technologies. These are exponentially increasing demand for computing power, capturing the attention of management teams and the public, and accelerating experimentation. These developments are occurring against a backdrop of rising global competition as countries and corporations race to secure leadership in producing and applying these strategic technologies. This year’s McKinsey Technology Trends Outlook provides in-depth perspectives on 13—a “baker’s dozen”—frontier technology trends with the potential to transform global business. Executives today face a mandate to navigate rising complexity, scale emerging solutions, and build trust in a world where the lines between digital and physical and centralized and decentralized continue to blur. The insights in this report can help business leaders decide which of these frontier technologies are most relevant to their companies by demonstrating how others are starting to apply them today. These findings emerge from our analysis of quantitative measures of interest, innovation, equity investment, and talent that underpin each of the 13 trends and explore the underlying technologies, uncertainties, and questions around them.
