Law will limit the use of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence regulation is not a new issue, discussions about it to become more lively next year and take over most of the countries of the world. For example, Certain countries may propose banning AI face recognition and social ratings in public places.

It has become much more sophisticated than it was five years ago, infiltrating all aspects of life and attracting increased attention from regulatory agencies. Many are concerned about how the use of technology could impact the fight against discrimination, bias and inequality of rights and opportunities, as well as privacy.The main problem is that we do not always understand how the algorithm makes decisions. The regulation of AI is therefore more complex than the regulatory of technologies which can be easily verified.

Safety and environmental concerns will be addressed with smartphones

The smartphone is the world’s most popular electronic device among consumers. According to experts, in 2022, the number of smartphones in use around the world will grow to 4.5 billion units. By achieving this indicator, 146 million tons of carbon dioxide will be released into the atmosphere. The majority of the carbon footprint of smartphones comes from the manufacturing process.

Modern smartphones are more durable than ever: despite drops and water damage, most screens can survive.
manufacturers offer longer software support: now this period is from 3 to 5 years, but by 2025 the support period will on average increase to five years.

In the future, tokens will be used more often to collect content

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, allow you to capture ownership of multimedia data. With their help, sports fans can not only view, but also purchase a license for recordings containing their favorite moments of the matches. Tokens can be used to buy videos, postcards, pictures, sports paraphernalia and other digital content.

It will take another year for the semiconductor crisis to end

According to analysts, the shortage of most of the chips in 2022 will not go away , and the delivery dates of some components will be postponed to 2023. This means that the crisis will last at least 24 months, and its total economic effect will exceed $ 500 billion.

Digitalization has affected the production of all mechanical products: personal electronic devices, cars, medical equipment do not do without microcircuits. For example, in 2010, in an average car, the cost of all parts that require chips was about $ 300. By 2022, this figure will increase to $ 500. At the same time, if a car worth $ 30 thousand is missing at least one part worth only $ 1, the car will not be sold. The surge in demand was aggravated by the pandemic – these factors caused an acute shortage of semiconductors.

The popularity of medical gadgets is only going to increase

Analysts predict a rise in the popularity of medical wearable devices such as smart watches and smart patches. More than 320 million health monitoring devices are forecast to be sold next year, with a 19% growth rate. With the help of wearable gadgets, you can measure not only the heart rate, the number of steps and the quality of sleep, but also assess the level of oxygen in the blood and detect atrial fibrillation. The smart patch helps diabetic patients control the amount of glucose in their blood and, if necessary, injects insulin using microneedles.

On the other hand, the wearable device market is facing challenges right now. Among them, doctors’ skepticism about the accuracy of indications and user distrust associated with the security of personal data.

5G will be replaced by new Wi-Fi

Despite the fact that the 5G standard is now being actively implemented by many countries, Wi-Fi 6 devices have quietly come out ahead in sales. The reason is that Wi-Fi 6 gadgets are more affordable than 5G. In addition to smartphones, PCs, and tablets, smart home devices, wireless cameras, game consoles, wearable devices, and AR and VR headsets use this technology most frequently. In addition, Wi-Fi 6 operates on free spectrum, while 5G requires a license from the provider or government to use the frequency spectrum
