The theme for our 2024 report is Supercycle. In economics, a “supercycle” refers to an extended period of booming demand, elevating the prices of commodities and assets to unprecedented heights. It stretches across years, even decades, and is driven by substantial and sustained structural changes in the economy. We believe we have entered a technology supercycle. This wave of innovation is so potent and pervasive that it promises to reshape the very fabric of our existence, from the intricacies of global supply chains to the minutiae of daily habits, from the corridors of power in global politics to the unspoken norms that govern our social interactions. On the cover of our 2024 Tech Trends Report, we’ve visually represented the tech supercycle, which is an undulating image reminiscent of a storm radar. Vertical and horizontal lines mark the edges of each section’s cover. When all 16 section covers converge, the trends reveal a compounding effect as reverberating aftershocks influence every other area of technology and science, as well as all industries. It’s the convergence that matters. In isolation, trends offer limited foresight into the future. Instead, the interplay of these trends is what reveals long-term change.

As usual, Amy Webb, this is mindblowing. Supercycles are periods of profound change, and this tech supercycle is no different. It's exciting to think about the possibilities, but it's also critical to consider all the potential unintended consequences you especially highlighted in your report. The ethical considerations around AI bias, data privacy, and how business systems will impact our lives are critical. More than ever, we need to plan for unforeseen challenges that might arise from such rapid advancements. This will determine how we prepare for the best possible outcomes or navigate the worst.
