Technology Trends and the New Economy

Major technology trends are fueling a new economy that is driving the realignment of, and new investments in technology, business models, and processes. It is dependent on services and information, with benefits well beyond knowledge workers, ultimately transforming every aspect of our lives.  Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are already optimizing and providing insights into customer behavior, buying patterns and how we look at data today. And the combination of Big Data, AI, and the disaggregation of information is already enabling transformations in delivering consumer content, IoT, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and more. The pace will only accelerate. From Hyperloop development and driverless cars, to space exploration and the end of fossil fuel usage, the current pace of technology advances is outflanking even the ability of futurists to predict the future. However, realizing the world’s next fantastic innovations will require major shifts in technology along with the underlying IC and semiconductor evolution. And it will have major implications for how we test and ensure the reliability and safety of new inventions – requiring a quantum leap in scalability, distributed measurements, functionality at the edge, and visibility into all communication layers. It will push for revolutionary innovations in test speed, frequency, bandwidth, and uncompromising precision.  Most importantly, it will require a transformation in how we integrate and manage the product development lifecycle process. This presentation looks at these trends, their implications and how Keysight Technologies is helping innovators get ahead of the curve of testing what’s next.
