Predictions have always attracted interest, because seeing the future could be useful, powerful, and fun. Those who can predict are ahead of others — they have a strategic advantage. Predictions are essential in business, technology, and science. With COVID and recent wars, predictions became critical to humankind’s survival. However, predictions are also very hard because they depend on many factors, including technological, economic, social, and ecological. Technology predictions may be simplest, but technology also depends on business, i.e. economics. Teams in the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Future Directions Committee (FDC), led by the presenter, have conducted technology predictions for more than a decade. FDC has identified three key megatrends: digital transformation, sustainability, and artificial general intelligence. Our predictions have gained a lot of interest in the community, resulting in annual press releases, five special issues of IEEE Computer, and quarterly columns.
