Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts that advances in AI, biotechnology, and medicine could allow humans to achieve immortality by 2030. Kurzweil's concept

By Andreea Neculae The concept of smart cities has evolved from a futuristic vision to a tangible reality, with urban centers worldwide integrating technology and sustainability to enhance the quality of life for their residents.

The future is not merely a place we go. It is the unfolding of the possibilities that exist in and around us—a field of potential and orientation, in which we act not only as participants but as co-creators of a cosmic process.

Cities are getting smarter. Smart cities are municipalities that are employing networked sensors and cameras to gather the data they need to improve everything from rush hour traffic to delivering electricity.

AI still feels like a cutting-edge breakthrough, even though it's been around for decades.  Machine learning has quietly powered search engines, recommendation algorithms, and speech recognition for years - but only recently has AI become a consumer product in its own right.

ML, IoT edge intelligence, 6G connectivity, and novel semiconductor designs will unlock transformative capabilities, enabling vehicles to communicate in real-time with their environment, process massive amounts of data locally,

The tech world in 2024 was nothing short of a rollercoaster, from the relentless advancements in generative AI to surprising moments like the Crowdstrike outage, catching many off guard.

From autonomous vehicles and predictive maintenance connectivity and emerging mobility-as-a-service platforms, the industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace.
