Advanced Computing

Artificial intelligence, the distributed web, the metaverse, and quantum computing are all challenging our paradigm of information technology at once. Who will win this battle, and what does that mean for industry and society?

Analyses and Insights

Enter the Metaverse

The metaverse was one of the most-vaunted trends of 2021, with multibillion-dollar bets being placed by Meta, Nvidia, and other tech giants. Now that the hyper has cooled, what are the long term prospects and leaders in this still-important future?

Large language models and generative image tools like Midjourney exploded onto the scene in the last 12 months - but they have been on the radar for years. So why did we notice them so late, and what will their impact be on industries and occupations?

Quantum computing

Quantum computing is finally emerging from the lab, and the next 10 years will revolutionize industries from chemical manufacturing to finance and transportation planning. What substrates, software, architectures, and other innovations will work - and who will dominate them?

Emerging computing architectures

New architectures for computing, from edge AI and swarm intelligence to quantum computers and blockchain, are creeping in to our digital ecosystem. Which technologies fit which applications, and when will they be ready?
