Artificial intelligence (AI) and that its urgent need for data is fuelling a growth spurt for Big Data. Similarly, Voice is still in its nascent stages but clearly on its way to becoming a trend if and when it reaches the Android era. The explosion of Android (and some would argue consequently smartphones) was driven by the twin flexibilities of both platform and the apps open for developers to tinker with. In this article, we focus on two emerging trends (AI and Internet of Things, or IoT) and one early bet (blockchain).

City Today

Organized by the Bengaluru Tech Summit, the day-long summit attended by experts in IT and Agriculture shared the experience and highlighted the possibility of emerging technologies such as Internet of Things, Drones, Smartphones and GIS playing a dominant role in agricultural development.

Digital disruption has changed the world as we know it. Businesses are finding themselves at the precipice with their capabilities challenged by every innovation. The biggest boon that the industry has seen so far is the emergence of connected devices, powered by the Internet of Things (IoT), which has added more devices to the online networks and shown the way for the manufacturing sector.

While this is possible, many times the economics do not work—there are surpluses and deficits and no infrastructure or technology to manage them. Through smart microgrids, powered by blockchain and the Internet of Things, power from a surplus house can automatically be moved to a deficit house, and a smart contract can settle the payments. There are transformational use cases in education and health as well.

The report said that BIoT (blockchain and Internet of Things) is a technology that may be used to combat risks. It said that along with the continued development of advanced proptech tools, cyber policy initiatives are underway across the region, as governments work towards reinforcing domestic information systems security, collaborating with international partners for intelligence sharing, improving threat identification, and protecting critical infrastructure.

Modi said that his government aims to introduce students at a young age to the technology of future such as Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Block Chain technology and Robotics etc even before they reach engineering colleges. “If you have developed an innovative mind in the teenage, half the job is done,” he said, urging participants to explore the possibility of multiple sector Hackathons like Health-Hackathon, Law-Hackathon, Architecture-Hackathon, Agriculture-Hackathon and Rural Hackathon.

Organizations are looking at how AI and IoT can reduce cost, drive efficiencies, and enhance competitive advantage and support emerging business models. It is also clearly observed that some technical innovations from the mainstream of the IT world, or from other industries, are creating opportunities to leverage technology that did not exist previously in the industry.

This quarterly edition of Mint’s Tech Report mirrors this broad theme. For instance, while the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) lists 12 technologies in its research for this Tech Report, it narrows down the choices for CXOs to ‘The power of three: AI, IoT and blockchain’—for now. BCG insists that the commoditization of AI has begun with Google, Microsoft and Amazon now offering cloud-based AI as a service.

The potential advantages arising out of data is driving the investment decision towards IoT, Robotics, AI and embedded systems which are throwing up a variety of data leading to exhaustive analytics. With the help of AI and advanced analytics, the signals and cues businesses are in a position to get, bring more precision to the decision making process.
