Why is "will be focused" used here? Why not just say "will focus"?

Great question! Actually, "will be increasingly focused on" and "will increasingly focus on" have the exact same meaning, they are simply different passive-voice ("be focused on") and active-voice ("will focus on") forms used to express the same idea. The main difference is that the active-voice form ("will focus on") is more forceful and direct! Ex: My project will focus on ways that AI can improve medical care. = My project will be focused on ways that AI can improve medical care.
