Q3. What tech sector will be the biggest overall winner in 2023?

Holland Barry
A3 – AI/ML wins again, specifically anticipating a wave of innovations built on top of advances in NLP and text-to-anything models.

Scott Castle
@JamesMaguire A3: (1/3) Based on what @Sisense is seeing with its customers in terms of new value creation and user engagement overall, I’m looking closely at healthtech, and separately, in logistics. #eWEEKChat

A3. With continued pressure to manage costs in an uncertain market, companies will accelerate their use of automation to further streamline costs. AI will play a big role in this, in particular in the service industry, where staffing challenges persist.

Robert Blumofe
A3: In 2023 cyber security will continue to be top of mind for the C-Suite, and the winners will be those vendors who can go beyond point solutions and provide broad and effective protection in the form of suites and platforms. #eWEEKChat

A3: Automation will be the biggest winner. Modern cloud architecture & integration allows us to do more with less. Which is good, since our research shows that 39% of IT leaders say they're expected to get more done with fewer resources.

Scott Castle
A3: (2/3) In both cases, we’re seeing vendors in those spaces evolving rapidly, adding a lot of new data-enabled technologies to differentiate, and expanding their user footprints as they reach outside their typical user departments and into related orgs #eweekchat

Brandon Gleklen
A3: Generative AI is the easy answer, but it's the right one. Most interesting thing to see will be where the value primarily accrues: in incumbents who incorporate into generative AI into their offerings, or new startups that build from first principles.

Peter Mattis
We're going to start to see AI and ML eat the tech world, though I suspect that we're only going to see this as a trend, not complete domination until a few years further out.

Robert Blumofe
A3: If 2023 is the year we see super potent phishing powered by Generative AI, then maybe 2023 is also the year we start adopting authenticated email (and other forms of messaging), at least in the corporate context. #eWEEKChat

Scott Castle
A3: (3/3) like operations and finance. #eWEEKChat

Luis Villa
(A3) boring relative to new hotness like AI, but it’s going to be the same as it has been for several years running: security, particularly in cloud. Every cloud player is going to have to announce initiatives in open source package-level security work.

James Maguire
@trentf_ca Security is ALWAYS a hot sector.

Justine Crosby
A3: AI/ML, computer vision, and digital twin will all push the boundaries for automation. #eWEEKChat

Trent Fierro
@hollandcbarry Security with built-in #AI is something I'm constantly asked for now

Ben Baker
A3. Anything GREEN. It's cool to be cool. Expect to hear a lot more about immersion cooling, power efficiency, and the power of AI/ML to better manage servers and surrounding infrastructure. #SustainableNetworking

Tim Callan
A3: Security continues to be massively important. New threats are evolving all the time, but the old threats never go away. Our footprint, complexity, and breadth of environments only goes up. All this means additional risk and need to address it.

Jake
A3. NFT's will be used for more practical purposes now that the value of digital monkey's are decreasing. They will be used to bolster the security industry to identify individuals

Mike Zagorsek
@RobertBlumofe -- Generative AI for nefarious uses is a sobering prospect.

Peter Mattis
A3: Renewable energy tech is a bit off the radar for many of us, but it continues a relentless climb which is astonishing even the experts. Remember that energy is what powers all our other endeavors, and making it clean ensures we have a nice world to live in.

Justin Emerson
A3: Security will continue to get more budget. With the geopolitical environment turning more antagonistic, more focus will be on securing critical infrastructure: both government owned and privately owned.

Holland Barry
@Trentf_CA Hearing this a lot too

Steven Mih
A3: The Open Data Lakehouse market will see much more adoption, especially by leveraging open source. As the market further chooses open options for table formats, compute engines and interfaces, the Lakehouse version of the LAMP stack will emerge.

Ryan Worobel
A3: again, the winner is tools that support a thinner workforce such as AIOps and #monitoring. Companies can't worry about uptime while trying to be more strategic with less people to do it.

A#: or energy via the #nuclearfusion break through that was recently announced (fingers crossed)

Ben Baker
A3. A lot of Security talk here. Can't disagree. And the line between networking and security will continue to blur. There’s no other way forward. If you’re gonna connect something to the network you have to secure it.

Robert Blumofe
@datanerdjake In decades.

Trent Fierro
@carterbusse We're betting on AI & automation. It should get interesting in the coming years

Ben Baker
@datanerdjake Ha, would take care of our energy concerns, but I'm not holding my breath.

Peter Mattis
@timcallan It is interesting to consider how something like ChatGPT can both improve security (pointing out vulnerabilities in code) and open up new vectors (bespoke phishing attacks).

Ryan Worobel
@datanerdjake separating NFTs and Block chain from currency should give those technologies a new life

Ben Baker
@rjworobel Yep, labor shortages and skills shortages are only getting worse.

Jake
@rjworobel agreed, applying them to applications with tangible utility seems like a natural evolution

Ram Chakravarti
@crosby_justine Digital Twins applicable across multiple industries - quite interested in adoption stats in next 2 years

Ben Baker
@hollandcbarry AI is eating the world. . . and this chat.

Chris Ehrlich
A3: Data management to support ML models and AI training and a greater commitment to realizing department-level business analytics.
