Deloitte pulled out its crystal ball again for 2023 predictions.

Predictions for AI, video, chips and more in 2023 | Deloitte

The new year will see AI tools for chip design, video streams with ad support, and a crowd of satellites in space, according to the annual tech, media and telecom predictions from accounting and consulting firm Deloitte.
