Accenture has identified four key technology trends for 2022, and in this report, we provide a customized view of how they apply to biopharmaceutical companies.
WebMe
Illustrates how the internet is being reimagined with the metaverse as an experience layer and Web3 as a new distributed data layer. In the metaverse, rather than viewing digital content, people will be present with it. With Web3, data will move with the person and not the platform.
Programmable World
Tracks how technology is being threaded through our physical environments in three layers: connected, experiential and material. 5G, ambient computing, augmented reality, 3D printing and smart materials are converging in sophisticated ways, turning the physical world into an environment that is as smart, customizable and as programmable as the digital one.
The Unreal
Explores the ‘unreal’ qualities that are becoming intrinsic to artificial intelligence, and even data, making the synthetic seem passably authentic. Synthetic data and synthetic content can be both helpful and harmful, so we must look through a continuous lens of verifying authenticity.
Computing the Impossible
Outlines the outer limit of what is computationally possible as a new class of computing machines emerge with a new curve of compute capability to tackle grand challenges that once seemed insurmountable.
