USING THE STARBURSTS The Griffin Annual Emerging Tecgnology Starbursts have been specifically designed to let you quickly see the estimated maturity of different technologies across different technology categories. To get the most benefit from them I recommend you combine the information from this codex with that found in some of the other codexes in my Codex of the Future series, such as my 311 Institute Exponential Technologies Codex, the 311 Institute Annual Trends and Foresight Codex and the How to Build Exponential Enterprises Codex. By doing this you will have all the frameworks and information you need to quickly model future scenarios, assess their impact on your organisation, as well as global business, culture, and society, and everything you need to develop new products, roadmaps, and strategies. 2025 to 2075 TIMELINE: 81311institute.com CLICK OR SCAN TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE A3 STARBURST POSTERCopyright © Matthew Griffin.

In 2022 there was an up tick in notable world firsts compared to 2021 which as the global pandemic faded wasn’t unexpected as investment and R&D flows started returning to pre pandemic norms. Therefore, as expected, I saw an increase in the number of new emerging technologies which were double the number spotted in 2021. Biotech, Compute, Energy, Intelligence, and Materials saw the largest gains. 2022’s breakthroughs and stand out world firsts included: 100% effective personalised cancer therapies• AI designs new chemical weapons and simulates all known proteins • AI redistributes wealth better than politicians • AI generated content and Digital Humans move mainstream • Chromosome Engineering accelerates biological evolution millions of years • First decentralised social network launches • First flexible ceramic • First lab grown blood cells • First Mechanical AI• First stress measuring wearable• First light based blood test• First tunnel dug by autonomous swarm robots• First telekinetic and telepathic materials • Google staffer claims AI is sentient• Lawyers drop NFTs to serve anonymous crims• Human mini-brains beat machine AI • Lab grown meat gains FDA approval • Military drone fleets emerge • Molecular computers break records • Russia first nation to use hypersonic weapons in wartime• Self-assembling space structures ace tests• Starlink achieves global network coverage. And many more. 2022 to 2070 TIMELINE: 85311institute.com CLICK OR SCAN TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE A3 STARBURST POSTERCopyright © Matthew Griffin.

In 2021 there were fewer notable world firsts than in 2020 which, as in 2020, I again attribute to the fact that much of the worlds investment and R&D flows were re-aligned to fight the global pandemic, COVID-19. There was also a marked decrease, of approximately 23 percent year on year, in the number of new emerging technologies that appeared, and this marks the first consecutive year on year decline I’ve seen since I’ve been keeping records. Unsurprisingly Biotech, Compute, and Energy saw the largest gains, and this was the year that many emerging technologies showed the world what they were capable of - whether it was using AI to develop vaccines or 3D printing to print out of stock parts for ventilators. 2021’s stand out world firsts included: AI learning the art of “Diplomacy” • First 2nm computer chip • First 5G NR installation • First 5 minute EV charging system • First AI credited as an inventor • First autonomous Hunter-Killer drone kill • First Bio-Artificial Kidney • First empathetic first person VR surgery preview • First EV with 1,000km range • First green steel • First unethical Human burgers • First Internet of Electricity material • First mass biometric spoofing cyber attack • First Metaverse city • First re-programmable satellite • First spontaneously replicating living robot.

I also promoted 44 new emerging technologies, and demoted 45. In 2020 there were fewer notable world firsts than in 2019 which I attribute to the fact that much of the worlds investment and R&D flows were re-aligned to help the world conquer the debilitating global pandemic, COVID-19. There was also a marked decrease, of approximately 40 percent year on year, in the number of new emerging technologies that appeared this year and this is reflected in the 2021 Starburst that saw the lowest number of new entries since my records began. Unsurprisingly though the Biotech and Intelligence categories saw the largest gains. 2020’s stand out world firsts included: Advanced DeepFakes • First 3D printed mini human heart • First 6G satellite test • First AI generated interactive procedural VR game • First AR smart contact lenses • First artificial living cells • First Bio-Synthetic network • First CRISPR in vivo gene editing • First hypersonic weapons deployment • First in vivo 3D Bio-Printing robot • First novel Cancer vaccine • First pilotless commercial aircraft • First protein folding AI • First reversal of human ageing • First room temperature superconductor • First virtual food.
