What are Foundational Technologies?
As new technologies develop, they frequently rely on a solid foundationāa secure base built on extensive research, testing, and iteration. The emerging results are game-changing: Quantum Computing, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Metaverse, Smart Cities, and more, all continue to shape the technology landscape. Cybersecurity cuts across all future applications and use cases, and as these technologies evolve, so do IEEE SAās efforts to address sustainability, safety, and ethics.
Key Areas of Focus
As part of the Foundational Technologies focus, we engage in three key workstreams that address challengesāboth present and futureāand offer collaborative, cross-industry opportunities.
