Editor's Notes
- "Embark on a nostalgic journey to the origins of technology in libraries. In this era, the transformation began from rows of time-honored books to the early adoption of computers. The integration of digital catalogs and the internet marked a significant leap forward, setting the foundation for the technological evolution in libraries. Reflect on how these initial steps have shaped the way we access and manage information today."
- "Explore the current landscape of library technologies where the blend of tradition and innovation comes to life. Today's libraries are dynamic hubs, equipped with eBooks, online databases, digital lending systems, and interactive learning tools. Utilizing the insights from the Gartner Hype Cycle, we delve into the tech trends that are shaping our present, from digitization to user engagement, ensuring libraries remain relevant and resourceful in the digital age."
- "Envision the future of libraries, where cutting-edge technologies like virtual reality, AI-assisted research, and advanced digital archiving redefine the user experience. Future libraries could be centers of immersive learning and exploration, with STEAM-related gadgets leading the charge in revolutionizing educational methods. This segment imagines a world where libraries are not just repositories of knowledge but gateways to unparalleled interactive experiences."
- "Highlighting the pivotal role of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) in libraries, this slide emphasizes the importance of integrating innovative games and gadgets into educational programs. These tools are instrumental in equipping patrons with vital skills for the future. We showcase how libraries can be at the forefront of fostering an environment of continuous learning, creativity, and adaptation through engaging STEAM activities."
- Highlight how VR/AR can be used for virtual travel, experiencing new places, or revisiting old memories. Discuss educational applications like virtual museums or historical tours
- The intelino smart train offers both screen-free and app-connected play modes. It can help children engage in hands-on interactive play and teach them how to code. The train is intuitive and not intimidating for students and teachers alike.
- Explanation of the Gartner Hype Cycle as a tool for tracking the maturity and adoption of emerging technologies. Overview of how it helps businesses and investors understand the potential and timeline of new tech. Description of the cycle stages: Innovation Trigger, Peak of Inflated Expectations, Trough of Disillusionment, Slope of Enlightenment, Plateau of Productivity. Discussion on how these trends are shaping the future of business and society.
- AI simulation is the combined application of AI and simulation technologies to jointly develop AI agents and the simulated environments in which they can be trained, tested and sometimes deployed. Causal AI identifies and uses cause-and-effect relationships to go beyond correlation-based predictive models and toward AI systems that can prescribe actions more effectively and act more autonomously. Federated machine learning aims to train a machine learning algorithm without explicitly sharing data samples, enabling better privacy and security. Graph data science (GDS) is a discipline in which data science techniques are applied to graph data structures to identify behavioral characteristics that can be used to build predictive and prescriptive models. Neuro-symbolic AI is a form of composite AI that combines machine learning (ML) methods and symbolic systems to create more robust and trustworthy AI models. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a type of ML where the learning system receives training only in terms of positive feedback (rewards) and negative feedback (punishments).
- Enhancing developer experience is critical for most enterprises. The suite of technologies under this theme focuses on attracting and retaining top engineering talent by supporting interactions between developers and the tools, platforms, processes and people they work with. AI-augmented software engineering, the use of AI technologies and natural language processing (NLP) to help software engineers create, deliver and maintain applications. API-centric SaaS, a cloud application service designed with programmatic request/reply or event-based interfaces (APIs) as the primary methods of access. GitOps, a type of closed-loop control system for cloud-native applications. Internal developer portals, which enable self-service discovery and access to resources in complex, cloud-native software development environments. Open-source program office (OSPO), the center of competency to build strategies for governing, managing, promoting and efficiently using open-source software (OSS) and open-source data or models.
- These technologies focus on how cloud computing will evolve and become an important driver of business innovation. They are reimagining the cloud at the edge, making it more vertically integrated and enabling industry-relevant solutions. Maximizing value from cloud investments will require automated operational scaling, access to cloud-native platform tools and adequate governance. Augmented FinOps, which applies the traditional DevOps concepts of agility, continuous integration and deployment, and end-user feedback to financial governance, budgeting and cost optimization efforts. Cloud development environments (CDEs), providing remote, ready-to-use access to a cloud-hosted development environment with minimal effort for setup and configuration. Cloud sustainability, the use of cloud services to achieve sustainability benefits within economic, environmental and social systems. Cloud-native, which refers to something created to optimally leverage or implement cloud characteristics that are part of the original definition of cloud computing, and include capabilities delivered as a service. Cloud-out to edge, an architectural construct where a centrally managed cloud environment, typically a hyperscale cloud, provides cloud service capabilities that are extended to edge environments. WebAssembly (Wasm), a lightweight virtual-stack machine and binary code format designed to support secure, high-performance applications on webpages.
- The technologies in this bucket focus on how organizations can become resilient by implementing human-centric security and privacy programs. They enable enterprises to create a culture of mutual trust and awareness of shared risks in decision making between many teams. AI trust, risk and security management (AI TRiSM) is a great example of human-centric security and privacy and ensures AI model governance, trustworthiness, fairness, reliability, robustness, efficacy and data protection. It includes solutions and techniques for model interpretability and explainability, data and content anomaly detection, AI data protection, model operations and adversarial attack resistance. It will take two to five years to achieve mainstream adoption. Other critical technologies in human-centric security and privacy include: Cybersecurity mesh architecture (CSMA), an emerging approach for architecting composable, distributed security controls that improve overall security effectiveness. Generative cybersecurity AI, which generates new derived versions of security-related and other relevant content, strategies, designs and methods by learning from large repositories of original source data. Homomorphic encryption (HE), which uses algorithms to enable computations with encrypted data and enables businesses to share data without compromising privacy. Postquantum cryptography (PQC), also called quantum-safe cryptography, algorithms designed to secure against both classical and quantum-computing attacks.
