3. Spatial Computing and Digital Twins: Spatial computing, which combines digital and physical environments, is being implemented in sectors such as urban planning, architecture, and retail. Digital twins—virtual replicas of physical entities—are being used to mirror real-world systems, allowing for predictive analytics in industries like transportation, healthcare, and logistics, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs by forecasting potential issues before they occur (Gartner).

4. Privacy-Preserving Technologies: As data privacy remains a core concern, technologies like federated learning and homomorphic encryption are coming to the fore. These tools enable machine learning models to train on decentralized data without exposing individual data points, protecting user privacy while allowing the extraction of valuable insights for sectors like finance and healthcare (Gartner, WEF).
