It is that time of year again: the time of Top lists and crystal ball predictions for the coming year, and I would be remiss if I did not take advantage of this opportunity to highlight some of the most important, relevant, or just plain interesting tech trends I will be watching in 2024. Looking across my areas of coverage, which include devices, semiconductors, automotive, and the policy and regulatory space, I have identified several innovation threads and market-disrupting trends that I feel are most likely to define those market segments in 2024. In no particular order, they are:
- AI PCs redefining the PC market
- The “AI chips” market growing beyond the data center
- A return to growth for the PC market
- The proliferation of on-device AI
- Voice, eye tracking, and gesture recognition’s growing impact on XR design
- The beginning of an adjustment to the ADAS framework
- ADAS and connectivity features expanding from 4-wheeled vehicles to 2-wheeled vehicles
- Foldable screens finding new use cases
- The limited effectiveness of US restrictions on the sale of advanced AI chips to China
