Study Notes
Overview of Emerging Technologies
- Emerging technologies refer to developments expected to significantly alter business and social environments within five to ten years.
- The definition encompasses both new technologies and innovative uses of existing technologies.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is a historical example, first developed in the 1950s, yet it remains an emerging technology due to ongoing advancements.
- Characteristics of emerging technologies include:
- Radical Novelty: Introduction of new forms or creative applications of existing technologies.
- Relatively Fast Growth: Observed through increasing participants and funding, and expansion in knowledge and services.
- Coherence: Convergence of separate research areas that have matured beyond theoretical stages.
- Prominent Impact: Significant influence across various sectors, changing interactions and knowledge processes.
- Uncertainty and Ambiguity: Future applications remain uncertain and may lead to unexpected outcomes.
