Technology Trends for 2023, Artificial Intelligence Ethics Becomes a Mandatory

 Kyndryl, the world's largest provider of IT infrastructure services, today revealed the most popular trends that will influence IT decision-making in 2023 and beyond.

As technology evolves and complex business issues continue to emerge, IT professionals will face new challenges in the coming year. Some changes will spark innovation, while others will spark debates around AI ethics. And others, such as cyberthreats, will force companies to mitigate and face these risks head-on.

Kyndryl works with companies in ASEAN and around the world to help them address their most pressing business goals in a modern way. Here, Sean Lee, Managing Director, Kyndryl Indonesia shares eight technology Daily News trends that every business leader should know about.

1. Cyber ​​resilience will overtake cyber security as a major security issue

With 88% of corporate boards now viewing cybersecurity as a business risk rather than a technology risk, according to a Gartner survey, cyber resilience will no longer be just an issue for the Chief Information Security Officer by 2023. Chances are, every chief executive in the organization will be part of the conversation for shared perceptions on this matter.

This is not just an IT discussion. Companies must understand that they are more likely to survive a cyber event than a physical disaster, and they must protect all areas of their business. Of course, that could lead to the security job that will be most sought after over the next year: Cyber ​​Security Officer.

2. AI ethics will be a must

Responsible AI solutions — areas that address trust, risk, ethics, security, and transparency — will be prioritized. We'll look at solutions that target personalized insights — whether they're related to aspects like credit risk, underwriting, or simply recommendation engines for dynamic pricing or influencing purchasing decisions.

Likewise, the ability to observe data will become very important and will be the key to improving AI in business. Without a strong and secure data foundation and DataOps, it will be difficult to scale and democratize data consumption.

3. Cloud computing will drive innovation

Companies that had embraced cloud computing adoption prior to the COVID-19 pandemic fared better than those who had not in terms of their ability to pivot their business models and capitalize on opportunities and generate new revenue streams. Experts say the same will apply in the event of an economic downturn. Adoption of cloud computing provides the fastest path to innovation and gives companies more flexibility to run their business in difficult times.

4. Enterprises will adopt distributed cloud computing

We expect enterprises to increasingly take the distributed cloud computing path as they deploy a connected model between cloud computing and edge computing[1]. There are many benefits to a distributed model, including the ability to better visualize and leverage data across an organization to drive value and enable new Web3 capabilities. In a distributed cloud ecosystem, workloads are aligned to specific resource locations to meet compliance and performance requirements or support edge computing, while being centrally managed from public cloud providers.
