World Economic Forum's Top 10 Emerging Technologies for 2023

[BWV]

The WEI recently released their list of top 10 emerging technologies - the criteria consisting of new tech that could make an impact within the next 3-5 years (hence no fusion). The list is heavily tilted, not surprisingly, to information technology and biology:

1 Flexible batteries
2 Generative artificial intelligence
3 Sustainable aviation fuel
4 Designer phages
5 Metaverse for mental health
6 Wearable plant sensors
7 Spatial omics
8 Flexible neural electronics
9 Sustainable computing
10 AI-facilitated healthcare
