Accenture
predicts that the next decade will be defined by three mega tech
trends: cloud, metaverse, and AI, which will collapse the distance
between digital and physical worlds.
Accenture's Technology Vision 2023 report identifies generative AI, digital identity, and data usage as the key factors enabling these tech trends.
- Accenture estimates that language-based AI will support or augment 40% of all working hours.
- AI foundation models will be important in business strategies over three to five years.
- Companies
need to develop an innovation strategy on three pillars: information
(IT), physical systems (OT), and science tech (ST).
- They should also invest in skills like quantum computing, AI, XR, creative thinking, and critical reasoning capabilities.
- Accenture
has established a team dedicated to generative AI and leveraging the
experience of more than 40,000 AI and data professionals.
- Recently, Accenture launched a metaverse experience pilot with The Ocean Race and Virtual Regatta to engage fans and businesses in a new way.
- Global
giants like Microsoft, Meta, and Disney have begun to slow down on
their metaverse ambitions due to macroeconomic challenges and low
technology adoption.
