The Responsible Robot

Megatrend
While a robot is a machine designed to sense, process, act, and communicate, automation refers to technology that executes tasks with minimal human input; enabling the functioning of robots, as well as reasoning and decision-making systems. Driven by profound progress in engineering design, materials science, advanced machine intelligence, and advanced communication networks, robots and automation will increasingly enter many, if not all, industries beyond the automotive, manufacturing, supply chain logistics, and services sectors. This will provide opportunities for efficiency and innovation although there will also be ethical and societal challenges.

An evolution of the Megatrend ‘Devaluation of Raw Data’ in 2022 and 2023, the rise of quantum computing, blockchains, the IoT, edge computing, automation, and digital realities, are all contributing to a data environment that is both constant and multi-dimensional. There is unprecedented volume and speed when it comes to the data available today. Enhanced by 5G, 6G, and advanced connectivity through multiple networks, and with an expected increase in the number of multilateral agreements focused on information interoperability, raw data will continue to increase in both quantity and variety. Under the right conditions, widespread access to immediate insights and real-time analysis will become commonplace.

Increasingly unmediated transactions in finance, health, education, trade, services, and even space are leading to the blurring of jurisdictional boundaries, changing liabilities, and increased numbers of cross-border communities. Advances in communications, computing, and advanced machine intelligence will accelerate a borderless world that will change the way we work, live, and connect.

Human potential is unlimited. With advanced machine intelligence, brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), technological developments in science and medicine, and an increasingly borderless world, people’s understanding and expectations of self-realisation, including work, education, and what it means to thrive, will shift. Personal development, how individuals and communities innovate and communicate, and new definitions of self-esteem, autonomy, and stability will bring forth new ideas about parenting, care, love, belonging, inclusion, and community.
