10 PCB007 MAGAZINE I SEPTEMBER 2024 Feature Article by Srikanth Chandrasekaran IEEE SA Reflecting on technological advancements and examining how foundational technology trends evolve is essential to seeing where the world and society are headed. Last year, sig- nificant strides were made in data governance, automation, edge computing, artificial intel- ligence (AI), and the metaverse. IEEE Stan- dards Association (IEEE SA) is keeping its eye on what's ahead for these technologies that are transforming various industry sectors. In this article, I'll examine the current state of these technologies and outline the advancements and directions we expect ahead. Tech Trajectories: Projecting Trend Advancements Data Governance As technology evolves, building frameworks that ensure people have trust in systems holds significant weight. Integrating Trust, Iden- tity, Privacy, Protection, Safety, and Secu- rity (TIPPSS) principles into data governance strategies ensures data integrity and confiden- tiality. e rapid adoption of AI and machine learn- ing (ML) technologies has made data gover- nance increasingly critical. e focus has been toward enhancing data security, privacy, and compliance with evolving global regulations.
