Next year will be marked by the arrival of some technologies as well as by the challenges that digitization brings worldwide. Here are some expert projections.
Many of the technological trends that moved this 2019 will remain next year with more advances and more bets. Some experts pointed out what will happen in 2020 in terms of technology.
More steps to AI development
For Javier Ortiz, manager of Google Cloud in Colombia, one of the technologies that will remain in force is Artificial Intelligence (AI) . According to the expert, this should be understood as a technology at the service of the common good and the entire society.
Ortiz affirms that AI should stop being conceived or related to robots or machines taken from a science fiction movie, since this is a technology that has been facilitating the lives of human beings for some time and that is helping to solve challenges such as predicting natural disasters, measuring the cleanliness of the air we breathe, rapid diagnosis and price of diseases, among many others.

"This year we have opted to promote it from a clear focus on well-being, that is, that its development allows progress in issues such as health, environment, urban mobility, rural empowerment and business efficiency," he said.
In addition to this, Red Hat experts consider that 2020 will be the year to verify the impact of AI. Gartner, for example, estimates that at least 25 billion 'things' will be connected by 2021 that will produce a large volume of data.
Thus, artificial intelligence will be applied to a wide range of information from the IoT, including video, images, voice, network traffic activity and sensor data. “The technology landscape for AI is complex and will remain so until 2023, where many IT vendors will be located. Despite this complexity, it will be possible to achieve good results with Artificial Intelligence in a wide range of IoT situations, ”said the software provider.
Journey to 5G
The 5G certainly is a big push towards the consolidation of the digital revolution that aims, among others, a better user experience. "Not only will people be connected to each other, so will the devices around us," Red Hat said.
Thus, it is expected that next year 5G, thanks to its high connection speed, minimum latency and high reliability, will make it possible to connect an autonomous car with everything that surrounds it, including the streets themselves (in the case of smart cities. ).
The big moment is expected to be the launch of the first iPhone compatible with the 5G network, a step that Samsung and Xiaomi already took. In the same way, another unknown will be the role that the Chinese supplier Huawei will have in the global deployment of this technology.
Advances in quantum computing
One of the big announcements this year was the one made by Google in which it claims to have designed a computer that achieves quantum supremacy. According to Ortíz, this means that an operation that is not possible today was carried out through the classical computing that we use on our computers and cell phones.
The expert pointed out that “this advance is important because with this computing, machine learning processes would be enhanced and much more significant advances would be achieved. Furthermore, this new type of computing would allow us to solve previously impossible or very difficult problems, such as discovering which molecules could produce really effective drugs ”.

We will have to wait for new advances to bring the company and others in this market, such as IBM.
The evolution of the Blockchain
Red Hat experts affirm that the blockchain will have its role in 2020. Today, companies obtain greater security and monetization of their business thanks to this data structure. In addition to this, investments in this technology are growing at a compound rate of 73%, with a total projected expenditure of US $ 11.7 billion for 2022.
Some of the advantages of this technology are immediacy, security, cost reduction and the identification of errors, among others. Furthermore, these blockchains could already be applied in other sectors; from intellectual property, to food security or asset management.
Privacy will have its place
Amnesty International, the NGO that supported generations of persecuted activists in the worst dictatorships, claims that Google and Facebook's "surveillance-based" economic model is a "systemic threat to human rights."
Investigations and procedures are being carried out against these companies, and even others, in the different EU countries, applying the European regulation on the protection of personal data that came into force in 2018.
A new EU “ePrivacy” regulation should establish new forms with respect to “cookies”, which track the Internet user.
For Dominique Bindels, from Euromonitor International, “people are more aware of the dangers of the dispersion of their data and of the possibility that their actions and gestures are traced. But at the same time, the surveillance cameras and connected speakers are selling like hot muffins. "

The tax on giants
This is one of the great technological challenges of the coming year. Can the devouring appetite of Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon (Gafa) and other Internet giants that are attacking new sectors of the economy (series, games, transport, health and payments) be controlled?
Libra, Facebook's digital currency project, should see the light of day in 2020, but is being questioned by authorities in both Europe and the United States. Elizabeth Warren, a likely Democratic candidate for the US presidency, advocates dismantling the tech giants in the name of free competition.
In the European Union, Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, in charge of Competition and digital exchanges, is already considered the nightmare of Gafa firms. The OECD hopes to obtain a political agreement on the taxation of tech giants and multinationals in June 2020.
Fight against digital anarchy
The presidential campaign in the United States will test the ability and willingness of social media to organize against misinformation and manipulation.

In Europe, the European Union is studying a new intermediate notion between “manager” (the current status of a social network like Facebook) and “publisher”, in order to create a concept of editorial responsibility.
Negotiations will also continue at the United Nations on standards of international good conduct in cyberspace, at a time when states are acquiring increasingly sophisticated cyber weapons.
