Briefings

The IEEE 2030 Technology Megatrends Report predicts that by 2028, AI will integrate deeply with energy, infrastructure, and physical systems, driving a shift toward personalized medicine where genetic engineering and gene therapy will be used frequently. The report identifies AI as the central thread connecting 30 technologies across five megatrends, with physical AI showing the fastest technical advancement and human-AI interaction having the shortest adoption horizon. Key forecasts include energy storage doubling in developed nations within two to three years and robots adopting tactile feedback within five years. The report emphasizes that long-term success depends on balancing technical capabilities with trust, security, and human-AI relationships.

Key points

• By 2028, genetic engineering and gene therapy will be used frequently to treat a variety of diseases, driven by advances in artificial intelligence.
• AI technology is advancing faster than any previous revolution, turning into general-purpose infrastructure that underpins 30 technologies across five megatrends.

Context and limitations

The report covers 30 technologies and five megatrends identified by 166 experts from 38 countries. Predictions for 2028 and 2029 are based on expert scoring and modeling, with specific timelines for energy storage doubling and robot feedback adoption. The report does not provide data on the specific impact of these technologies on individual lives or the exact market adoption rates for all 30 technologies.
