According to BearingPoint, the following five tech trends will be in the spotlight next year: Responsible AI, Cloud at the Edge, Cybersecurity Mesh, Embedded Data and Analytics and Connected Sensors and Machines. The first two topics in particular will become increasingly important.

Use cases for AI have now reached a high level of maturity and are already widespread. This is why they now need to be scrutinized more critically.

Sovereign clouds and edge computing requirements are also among the new challenges for CTOs. The introduction of cloud systems has changed IT organizations as well as governance and operating models (FinOps, Cloud Ops functions). Computing capacities should be closer to the user and resources should be made available for real-time processing. Edge computing and sovereign clouds provide a counterbalance to extreme cloud centralization.
