Washington — As emerging technologies continue to impact the workplace, NIOSH is keeping a watchful eye on whether these new materials and processes will create new on-the-job hazards.

Cincinnati — Drawing on the lessons learned from efforts to protect workers from the hazards associated with nanomaterials can help developers of new technologies ensure their safe use, researchers contend.

The inaugural edition of the Emerging Technologies and Trends in Identity Verification (IDV), KYC, and KYB Report 2024 offers a comprehensive overview of the key technology trends and best practices in digital onboarding for consumers and businesses in 2024.

Read highlights from a recent webinar hosted by the National Academies’ New Voices program, which explored how to make developments in emerging technologies more equitable in multiple fields including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and energy.

Chris Scott from Headscape gave a talk on "Real World Emerging Technologies". Falling University entries and top-up fees have contributed to a step-change in the operational environment for the HE sector. This change has resulted in an acute pressure on institutions to innovate for success. This presentation will explore some opportunities for institutions to capitalise on new and emerging web technologies in response to such changes. While there is much hype about Web 2.0, there are some genuine opportunities for straightforward applications of Web 2.0 technologies in institutions that are low risk and low cost, and have potential for significant returns if they are introduced and managed correctly and the right people are involved.

Produced by Wired Brand Lab with Deloitte | Change is happening faster than ever before. This inflection point is leading companies to rethink how they stay more agile, flexible, and resilient. Blockchain, AI, and the Metaverse offer incredible value for the future, but can they be trusted today? Deloitte’s Chief Futurist Mike Bechtel and Erica Orange, EVP of the Future Hunters, discuss trust as a guiding principle for successful businesses, exploring the use cases of new technologies and how companies can get ahead of the curve to meet the future today.

Produced by Wired Brand Lab with PwC | In a world where technology evolves at breakneck speed, staying ahead is critical for business success. Join us as PwC thought leaders unveil the most impactful technologies shaping the future. From AI to quantum computing, learn what innovations are already driving strategic decisions.

Researchers use life-cycle assessment (LCA) as a tool to evaluate the environmental impact of products and technologies across their entire lifetime — from extraction of raw material to end-of-life (disposal or recycling). It is challenging to apply the conventional LCA method to new or emerging technologies, however, due to the sheer quantity of data needed for such studies. This study proposes a screening-to-LCA method that uses available data to systematically evaluate the performance of such technologies, and support the uptake of those that are most environmentally sustainable.

Woodside Energy and IBM will work together to re-imagine the way work is done using next-generation technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing to help Woodside realise its vision of an “intelligent plant”.
