Following the trend of generative AI, both anti-aging/health and quantum computing are emerging as significant areas of focus, each garnering attention from different perspectives. ## Anti-Aging and Health As we approach 2025, the fields of anti-aging and health are attracting considerable attention. **Longevity Trend** - "Longevity," which refers to living a long and healthy life while maintaining youthfulness, is in high demand among consumers. - The beauty industry is expected to increase its focus on offering appropriate anti-aging products and skincare routines targeted at younger generations. **Evolution of Anti-Aging Medicine** - Research on slowing down aging is gaining momentum. The international competition "XPRIZE Healthspan" aims to delay aging by about 10 years over a 30-year period. - There is a growing focus on controlling the speed of aging by rejuvenating three key functions: brain, immune system, and muscles. ## Quantum Computing Quantum computing is also expected to make significant strides towards 2025. **Acceleration of Commercialization** - Microsoft and Atom Computing have announced plans to release commercial quantum computers as early as 2025. - Google and IBM are also aiming for the commercial proliferation of quantum computing technology by 2025. **Spread of Cloud-Based Quantum Computing** - Fujitsu's decision to introduce a superconducting quantum computer system to the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in 2024 will be the first commercial case in Japan. - In 2025, the "Quantum-AI Cloud 'ABCI-Q'," combining quantum computers and AI, is scheduled to start operations, with expectations for the creation of new business models. **Impact on Industries** - In the financial sector, it is predicted that simulations that traditionally took weeks could be completed in minutes for risk management and market forecasting. - In manufacturing, when combined with AI, it is said that product design and process optimization will advance dramatically. ## Conclusion While both anti-aging/health and quantum computing are positioned as important trends following generative AI, their scope and nature of impact differ. Anti-aging and health will directly affect consumers' daily lives and healthcare, while quantum computing has the potential to bring revolutionary changes to the entire industrial sector. Both are expected to develop rapidly towards 2025 and are anticipated to have significant impacts on society and the economy.Citations: [1] aws.amazon.com/jp/blogs/news/generative-ai-for-retail-key-trends-to-watch-in-2025/ [2] atmarkit.itmedia.co.jp/ait/articles/2412/26/news051.html [3] biyouhifuko.com/news/interview/10704/ [4] beautytech.jp/n/n132eecfa9a34 [5] xtech.nikkei.com/atcl/nxt/column/18/02884/070800001/ [6] japan.zdnet.com/article/35227560/ [7] japan.zdnet.com/article/35227182/ [8] www.nikkeibpm.co.jp/item/4537/4537/index.html [9] gigazine.net/news/20241120-microsoft-atom-computing-commercial-quantum-computer-2025/ [10] botpress.com/ja/blog/top-artificial-intelligence-trends [11] reinforz.co.jp/bizmedia/60697/
