The rapid pace of technological advancements in various industries has required updated laws around copyright, antitrust, and taxation. With the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), for instance, there is a growing concern over the ownership and control of AI-generated content. Big tech companies' increasing power and influence have also highlighted the need for more robust antitrust measures to prevent market dominance. In addition, many countries are grappling with digital economy taxation laws to ensure technology companies pay their fair share. Failing to update regulations and standards could lead to a loss of control over intellectual property, market imbalance, and revenue shortfalls for governments. This report section will cover the legal trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

Technological advancements are not restricted to the private sector, and governments worldwide are also adopting various innovations and systems to improve and streamline governance.

Climate change, sustainability technologies, and urban design are transforming cities. This report section will cover the trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on regarding the evolution of city living in 2023. For instance, smart city technologies—such as energy-efficient buildings and transportation systems—are helping to reduce carbon emissions and improve quality of life. At the same time, the effects of a changing climate, such as increased extreme weather events and rising sea levels, are putting cities under greater pressure to adapt and become more resilient. This trend is leading to new urban planning and design solutions, such as green spaces and permeable surfaces, to help mitigate these impacts. However, social and economic inequality must be addressed as cities seek a more sustainable future.

In recent years, markets have displayed a growing interest in the commercialization of space, leading to an increasing number of companies and nations investing in space-related industries. This trend has created new opportunities for research and development and commercial activities such as satellite launches, space tourism, and resource extraction. However, this increase in commercial activity is also leading to growing tension in global politics as nations compete for access to valuable resources and seek to establish dominance in the arena. The militarization of space is also a growing concern as countries build up their military capabilities in orbit and beyond. This report section will cover the space-related trends and industries Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

Politics has certainly not remained unaffected by technological advances. For instance, artificial intelligence (AI), misinformation, and "deep fakes" profoundly impact global politics and how information is disseminated and perceived. The rise of these technologies has made it easier for individuals and organizations to manipulate images, videos, and audio, creating deep fakes that are difficult to detect. This trend has led to an increase in disinformation campaigns to influence public opinion, manipulate elections, and sow division, ultimately leading to a decline in trust in traditional news sources and a general sense of confusion and uncertainty. This report section will explore some of the trends surrounding technology in politics that Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic upended the business world across industries, and operational models may never be the same again. For instance, the rapid shift to remote work and online commerce has accelerated the need for digitization and automation, forever altering how companies do business.
