Five tech trends to watch this year

Technology never stops moving. Every year, new tools, products and ideas appear. Here are five trends that companies and curious people should watch this year. 1. Generative AI in everyday work. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude have already changed how people write emails, prepare reports and even debug code. This year, AI assistants will become more integrated in normal apps. 2. Voice as the new interface. We are slowly moving from typing to speaking. Smart speakers, real-time translation and voice search are growing fast. 3. Sustainable tech. Companies want greener data centres. Energy consumption has become a serious topic, and customers are paying attention. 4. Cybersecurity. As more services move online, attacks have become more frequent and more sophisticated. Two-factor authentication is no longer optional. 5. The end of the password. Many big companies are now using passkeys, which are safer and easier to use than traditional passwords. Not all of these trends will succeed equally, of course. But if you work in tech, ignoring them is not an option. The job market is going to reward people who understand how the landscape is changing.
