The COVID-19 crisis has unearthed new considerations for infrastructure, employment and privacy

Telenor Research outlines three key predictions that would characterise our new world.   

On a scale like no other, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated global social and economic change that would otherwise have taken years to realise. Today, we witness countries all over the world taking calculated risks as they ease societal restrictions. However, there is no such thing as going back to normal, asserts Telenor Research.

Prediction 1: New city infrastructure to facilitate a new way of work

As the pandemic forces many typically office-bound workers to work out of their homes, we see that this has opened people’s eyes to the possibility that traditional office complexes are not so essential after all. More and more people are starting to adjust to working remotely, either from home or near home, for example, in a co-working space. Telenor expects the pandemic to accelerate this trend. More governments will start to re-think the way they organize their cities, reallocating more resources to digital and communications infrastructure as the number of workers operating from home or co-working spaces increases.

Prediction 2: Recruitment + AI = Match 

Along with the lockdowns came economic consequences. While millions of jobs were lost, we also saw new types of jobs emerge to cope with unique needs stemming from the pandemic and the new limitations on immigration. In a job market saturated with displaced workers and new manpower needs, the traditional forms of hiring just take too long and many existing skillsets are in dire need of updates. Telenor predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) holds the key to transforming the employment game for the better.

Prediction 3: Crowd movements to the rescue

Data is becoming an increasingly important tool in fighting rapid spread of infectious diseases. However, the recent use of people’s movement data during COVID-19 has also triggered a huge privacy debate. The calls for safeguarding the individual’s privacy are getting increasingly louder, which is why we predict a future rise in the use of aggregated, anonymous data from mobile phone signals, instead of app location data.
