As 2019 comes to an end, we think about the changes we are going to make in the next year. Technology like AI has been a major element of change in the lives of humans. So, it’s only fair to think where 2020 will take our technological advancements?
There is no doubt that we are standing on the verge of another industrial revolution and Artificial Intelligence is the one fueling it this time. We have seen some breakthroughs in the areas of AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning in 2019. These technologies have made it possible for computers themselves to interpret and analyze information in a very sophisticated way. Machines can now perform complex tasks such as facial recognition and Big Data Analytics due to AI advances.
The people that are the developers and leaders of AI always have some new predictions to share with us on the Tech topic. We have gathered for you some quotes by the tech Savvy that give insight into where AI is destined to reach in the upcoming year.
CEO, Nauto, Dr. Stefan heck talks about the impact and usage of AI in autonomous vehicles: “Vehicle AI is going to be designed to break the law: Autonomous Vehicles should not and cannot be designed to drive the speed limit (roads were designed with speeding factored in)-it will have to learn to go over the limit and match speeds of other drivers to be implemented wide-scale and keep other drivers safe. The same idea applies to car crashes-cars will have to learn to break the law/driving rules if it means saving more lives. In 2020, we’re going to see a greater call for and debate around designing algorithms to act illegally.”
In the opinion of Patrick Worfolk, CTO, Synaptics, the problems related to IoT will be solved in the next year: “Edge processing with AI creates a better IoT experience. IoT device makers know the benefits of edge-based processing, but until now, many of the challenges in terms of cost, performance, and security have made it impractical for implementing in consumer products and systems. The shift toward more use of edge processing in conjunction with cloud connectivity has begun in earnest and will continue to evolve in 2020. From a consumer perspective, this trend will result in an IoT experience that’s faster, more reliable and more private.”
The thing haunting most people’s dreams is the takeover of jobs by AI. Amichai Schreiber, Co-Founder, and CTO, InnerMobility by Gloat give some hope: “As opposed to being a cause of job insecurity in 2020, artificial intelligence will prove to be a crucial tool for improving careers. Through AI, employers will be able to provide enhanced opportunities for their employees and facilitate the diversity of experience they crave. Thanks to AI, employees will be able to expand and enhance their skill sets and ensure they stay relevant in a rapidly evolving market. Accountability, particularly concerning explaining results and bias prevention, will continue to go hand-in-hand with AI’s development.”
Data Analysis and AI are the best tools for marketing for SMEs. Georges Bory, Managing Director, ActiveViam tells just how it’s going to get even better in 2020: “Retailers will increasingly turn to AI as their main source of marketing insights as opposed to surveys and studies. Many retailers, however, will still struggle to turn those insights derived from AI into actionable business rules for their pricing, supply chain and merchandising. AI is becoming more and more mainstream, but not all companies yet realize that using AI technology for data analysis is only the first step into a larger process of true transformation.”
As we talk about AI in specific fields, Ashish Thusoo, Co-Founder and CEO, Qubole, is optimistic about the globalization and widespread use of AI: “Every company will become an AI company, modernizing its workforce to support innovation. As enterprises learn how to effectively and efficiently deploy AI-based projects in cloud environments, they’ll turn their attention toward hiring data analysts and scientists with expertise in machine learning and deep learning…….
