13 tech trends to watch now, according to McKinsey (and no, it's not all AI)
AI, especially agents, may be at the top of the list but that's not all you need to keep an eye on.
This encompasses agents, generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, predictive algorithms, and other systems designed to detect patterns across datasets and autonomously refine their performance over time. Building robots capable of making decisions and taking action in a dynamic physical environment is much more complicated than training algorithms to detect patterns in text; that's why we have LLMs that can write essays but relatively few autonomous vehicles on the road today. For example, the report highlights "clean electrons," a phrase which refers to energy gleaned from sources that don't rely on the combustion of greenhouse gases — like solar power and hydropower, as well as the rise of electric vehicles from companies like Tesla and Rivian.
