With 2023 on the horizon, a16z asked our partners: What ONE big idea do you expect tech to tackle in the coming year?
From small modular reactors to having fun with AI applications, their answers tell us a lot about what's likely to come in tech. 👇
If “software is eating the world,” it hasn't yet taken a big enough bite out of compliance in financial services, say @astrange and @joeschmidtiv. In 2023, that could begin to change in major ways. a16z.com/2022/12/15/big-ideas-in-tech-2023/
The death of web3 games has been greatly exaggerated, says @Tocelot. We’re on the cusp of unlocking a new generation of web3 native games that will be fun, broadly appealing, and uniquely enabled by blockchain technologies. Will 2023 be the year? a16z.com/2022/12/15/big-ideas-in-tech-2023/
It often takes a user-first mentality for consumers to adopt the latest tech at scale — with AR, just look at Pokemon Go and Dog Ear face filters, says @kirbyman01. It will be similar in 2023 for AI, as founders explore consumer behaviors and psychology. a16z.com/2022/12/15/big-ideas-in-tech-2023/
In 2023, @vintweeta and @beckypferdehirt hope to see a breakthrough in precision delivery of medicine, which will unleash a landslide of queued-up therapeutic approaches to progress into the clinic. "The decade of delivery is upon us," they say. a16z.com/2022/12/15/big-ideas-in-tech-2023/
These are just some of the innovations our partners are expecting to see in 2023.
What big ideas do you expect tech to tackle in 2023, and what's something you *hope* tech takes on in the new year?
None of the above should be taken as investment advice; please see a16z.com/disclosures for more information.
