Quantum technology will be worth trillions of dollars and transform the economy over the next decade. What is it, and how can we build a quantum economy?
Economists used new methods to examine how many U.S. jobs have been lost to machine automation, and how many have been created as technology leads to new tasks. On net, and particularly since 1980, technology has replaced more U.S. jobs than it has generated.
There are several key energy technology trends dominating 2025. Security, costs and jobs; decarbonization; China; India; and AI all need to be carefully monitored. The World Economic Forum’s Advanced Energy Solutions community helps the energy technology community cooperate and accelerate the deployment of new energy technologies.
MIT researchers fabricated 3D chips with alternating layers of semiconducting material grown directly on top of each other. The method eliminates thick silicon between layers, leading to better and faster computation, for applications like more efficient AI hardware.
Since much economic growth comes from tech innovation, the way societies use artificial intelligence is of keen interest to MIT Institute Professor Daron Acemoglu, who has published several papers on AI economics in recent months.
MIT researchers designed a device that quickly recovers drinking water from an atmospheric water harvesting material. The system uses ultrasonic waves to shake the water out of the material, recovering water in minutes.
