AI-driven imagery will continue to grow in popularity. Side face of AI robot by network form. 2020 was an unprecedented year. How we live, work and interact has fundamentally changed and the repercussions of 2020 will be felt for years to come. So, with unpredictability and uncertainty set to remain key fixtures in people’s lives but with hope now on the horizon, what does this mean for the world of imaging? Looking ahead, Canon Europe has identified five key trends set to shape what we see in 2021. “As we look ahead to 2021 we see a number of trends that will influence the world of imaging – from the way we consume media and the trust we place in news sources, to a nostalgia for the way things were. Canon has a role to play in the technologies driving these trends – whether that’s a mirrorless camera or a home printer – and we will continue to develop innovative tools that empower users to reach their creative potential through connecting with the world around them,” says Susie Donaldson, ITCG European marketing director for Canon EMEA.
