"Several years ago, Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels began sharing predictions on how technology would likely impact our lives the following year. In the past, he has foreseen the impact of digital technology in sports, of AI assistants in developer productivity, machine learning embedded in production lines, and 'fem tech' on women's health. As CTO of Amazon (No. 2 on the Fortune 500) since 2005, he occupies a unique perch to see and even shape what's next."
"Going through some of your past predictions, this set feels a little more somber this year. Is that fair to say? I understand what you mean, but I do find that there is quite a bit of positivity in there. I think that the personalized learning one is a very interesting one. And I do think that the way that developers are going to change is a very positive thing."
Interdisciplinary cooperation will accelerate discovery and creation at a pace likened to the Renaissance. New companionship technologies will reduce loneliness for those who need it most. Developers will adopt broader, cross-disciplinary skills, creating a "renaissance developer" capable of faster, more creative building. Quantum computing breakthroughs will necessitate a shift to quantum-safe cybersecurity standards. Defense technology advances will rapidly cross over into healthcare and other civilian domains. Personalized learning will scale to meet infinite curiosity, enabling individualized education and continuous skill development.
