After discussing
information technology trends in 2017, many specialists agree that artificial
intelligence is one of the most actively evolving spheres. Find out why, and
what IT directions are as relevant in 2017 as never.
AI(artificial intelligence)
As many other
technologies, artificial intelligence can be implemented in a large number of
spheres starting from automation of manufacturing finishing by self-driving
cars. IoT devices use it, as well. AL is the future of our work, because it
makes up for automation of processes around saving time and efforts. Probably,
smart agents with AI will soon replace mobile applications and behavioral
algorithms. A self-learning app may serve as personal assistant. However, rapid
development of AI can lead to job loss, too.
Specialists also
claim that in some cases AI is just a refresh of an old product and a marketing
hype. For instance, you don’t need a toaster with Internet connection and
self-learning when a usual $30 model will be enough. Another debatable issue is
security: when all personal devices, homes and cars get technical, you can’t
really feel safe. Anyway, machine learning can accelerate the development of AI,
making robots and devices learn on their own.
New mobile competitors
The market of
smartphones can become different with new players emerging. A lot of Chinese
smartphone producers offer top-notch quality products, and HP Elite x3 and the
Kodak Ektra have recently caught attention of publicity.
Blockchain
Blockchain
technology has caused a lot of buzz. This is a secure transaction tracking
technology that can be used in many industries, not financial services. If it
expands the presence to cover all transactions, it may become the new standard
of purchases.
Hyperconvergence
Hyperconvergence
is another sphere that grows considerably: it is predicted that this market
will double every year in the future. Security is one of the main features
today, and not for the reason of hacking and DDoS attacks. What companies focus
on is control over pipes and content, as well as storage options (that are
likely to become cheaper).
