4 Technological Trends That Will Shake the World

Until recently, many observers and market participants, such as Mark Zuckerberg, cited metaverse and genetic engineering as the main trends in high technology.

Which trends will drive the technology market forward, and which will lead to breakthroughs in related industries, but with the risk of disrupting the stability established there? Read about it in this selection

1. Nuclear Energy for AI Infrastructure

The demand for AI technologies has predictably led to the growth and development of the corresponding infrastructure, servers, data centres, etc.

All of this requires new energy capacities, and high-tech companies are trying to ensure that this energy is as ‘clean’ as possible.

In recent years, giants such as Google have consistently developed their own solar and wind energy production capacities, but this is not enough for new AI infrastructure facilities. That is why researchers at the consulting firm Capgemini consider the development of nuclear energy for AI infrastructure to be a promising trend for 2026.

Since the beginning of September, Microsoft, Google and Amazon have announced large-scale investments in nuclear energy, signing agreements with energy companies.

2. Neuromorphic Computing

No matter how advanced modern AI technologies are, they are still unable to solve many creative tasks that the human brain is capable of. This is where neuromorphic computing comes in.

For example, Intel Labs is developing algorithms that mimic the workings of the brain.

Intel Labs experts explain that ‘neuromorphic processors are built from conventional transistors, but with a different architectural organisation that is as close as possible to the structure of brain neurons.’

3. Extended Reality

XR has been included in the list of the most important promising technologies of 2026, compiled by the consulting company Customer Think. XR combines virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR).

This technology is expected to be most in demand in areas such as healthcare, aviation, industry, and other fields where the cost of human error is too high. With the right level of development and distribution, XR will not only optimise training costs, but also significantly improve its quality and the level of engagement of new employees.

4. Spatial Computing

If different platforms can interact within hybrid systems, then the symbiosis of advanced computer systems (VR, AR, AI, and the Internet of Things) with humans is called ‘spatial computing.’

After Apple released its first gadget in the spatial computing segment in February — Vision Pro glasses — experts expect other companies to start bringing their competing devices to market in the new year.

Gartner analysts believe that this could take the interaction between the physical and virtual digital worlds to a new level.
