AI Leads World Economic Forum’s Top Emerging Technologies for 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in scientific discovery has been named the number one emerging technology in the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Top 10 Emerging Technologies report for 2024.

Announced during the WEF’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, the report highlights technologies poised to have significant impact on the global economy and society. Frederick Fenter, chief executive editor of Frontiers, emphasized the transformative role of AI in research. “Using AI is no doubt transforming the way people conduct scientific research. And we thought this is something that should really be highlighted this year,” Fenter told CGTN.

The report, published on Tuesday in collaboration with Frontiers—one of the world’s leading publications on scientific and technological advancements—unveils ten groundbreaking technologies. These innovations have the potential to address global challenges, from advancements in materials science to transformative technologies in healthcare.

The recognition of AI’s role in scientific discovery reflects its increasing application across various fields, accelerating research and enabling breakthroughs that were previously unimaginable. As AI continues to evolve, it is expected to drive significant advancements in understanding complex scientific problems and developing innovative solutions.

The WEF’s Top 10 Emerging Technologies report serves as a guide for policymakers, investors, and industry leaders to stay ahead of technological trends that will shape the future. By identifying and promoting these technologies, the WEF aims to foster collaboration and investment to harness their full potential for societal benefit.
