IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, today released the results of "The Impact of Technology in 2022 and Beyond: an IEEE Global Study," a new survey of global technology leaders from the U.S., U.K., China, India, and Brazil. The study, which included 350 chief technology officers, chief information officers, and IT directors, covers the most important technologies in 2022, industries most impacted by technology in the year ahead, and technology trends through the next decade.Learn more about the study and the impact of technology in 2022 and beyond.
The most important technologies, innovation, sustainability, and the future
Which technologies will be the most important in 2022? Among total respondents, more than one in five (21%) say AI and machine learning, cloud computing (20%), and 5G (17%) will be the most important technologies next year. Because of the global pandemic, technology leaders surveyed said in 2021 they accelerated adoption of cloud computing (60%), AI and machine learning (51%), and 5G (46%), among others.
It’s not surprising, therefore, that 95% agree—including 66% who strongly agree—that AI will drive the majority of innovation across nearly every industry sector in the next one to five years.
When asked which of the following areas 5G will most benefit in the next year, technology leaders surveyed said:
  • Telemedicine, including remote surgery and health record transmissions (24%)
  • Remote learning and education (20%)
  • Personal and professional day-to-day communications (15%)
  • Entertainment, sports, and live event streaming (14%)
  • Manufacturing and assembly (13%)
  • Transportation and traffic control (7%)
  • Carbon footprint reduction and energy efficiency (5%)
  • Farming and agriculture (2%)  
As for industry sectors most impacted by technology in 2022, technology leaders surveyed cited manufacturing (25%), financial services (19%), healthcare (16%), and energy (13%). As compared to the beginning of 2021, 92% of respondents agree, including 60% who strongly agree, that implementing smart building technologies that benefit sustainability, decarbonization, and energy savings has become a top priority for their organization.
