• In the U.S., 60% of Gen Z are early adopters of technology

• Gen Z is 2.5 times more likely to purchase items of sustainable value than the general population

digital coexistence

• Modern businesses will invest in chips, sensors and data infrastructure to enhance cybersecurity, cloud storage/computing, artificial intelligence and robotics to fill the growing productivity gap

• The forefront of AI innovation in digital coexistence are AI agents, digital twins, humanoid robots

• The perception of artificial intelligence is not a “hype cycle”. The consumer artificial intelligence upgrade cycle will include products such as smartphones, laptops, TVs, smart glasses and cars.

human security

• The world is in the third phase of the transition to low-carbon/carbon-free fuels and energy

• Infrastructure, grid resilience and experimentation will lead the way in driving this transformation

• Food supply chains can be supported by technologies such as automation, increased yields and protection

Community
