The year witnessed breakthroughs in natural language processing, computer vision, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI.

 

3. Rise of the Quantum Era

 

Quantum computing made significant strides in 2023, with notable achievements in quantum supremacy and increased accessibility to quantum computing resources. While we are still in the early days of this revolutionary technology, its potential to solve complex problems and revolutionise cryptography became more apparent this year.

 

4. Green Tech Imperative

 

Sustainability took center stage in tech discussions, with a heightened focus on green technologies. From energy-efficient data centers to eco-friendly manufacturing processes, the industry responded to the imperative of minimising its environmental impact.
