As we enter 2019 here is my prediction of technology disruption & technology trends that will create an impact in 2019. I have listed 8 disruptions and will add 8 more disruptions in areas of my interest in my next post.
1) Artificial intelligence and machine learning will play a significant role in how IT teams can engage and empower employee & entire organizations. By gaining the right insights they can point out to an employee that the tools and applications available deliver everything they require to carry out their job function.Robotic Process Automation will use AI to automate up to 40% repetitive tasks done by likes of accountants, doctors & even chief executives!
2) Affordable Health Care will reach out to more consumers who at present do not have access to healthcare. Big data, AI, Machine learning & analytics will play a key role in this delivering health care over mobile devices and internet. Self help applications will help people connect to find and connect with health service providers remotely and distance medicine will cover broader spectrum of diseases. For research companies AI will begin to see fruition, particularly in the imaging diagnostic, drug discovery, and risk analytics applications.
3) Data Authenticity is essential to the decision-making process in business & if the data is unverified it could be detrimental to the outcomes of these decisions. Machine learning is also playing a key role in helping to verify workplace data. Artificial Intelligence & machine learning empower employees & applications will continue to get more intelligent and help improve the user experience and streamline business processes.
4) Very Small Businesses will increasingly use platform services,mobile applications, blogs, websites & social-media to reach out to consumers & get more business. Platform services will have to play a big role in profiling & validating the service provider to provide reliable quality of service & improve the customer experience.
5) AI driven Cybersecurity along with continuous risk profiling, will become more intelligence-driven, and machine learning will play a critical role in gathering this intelligence. Moreover, machines will start making automated decisions and implement them to minimize organizations cyber-risk. Enterprise goal will be to better curate, correlate, and enrich high-volume security alerts to piece together a cohesive incident detection story across disparate landscape.
6) Game changing Blockchain innovations will rock 2019. I am all for concept of immutable record data (which itself is not a new idea) minus blockchain set of technologies! End of 2019 should see a major shift in the way blockchain is implemented. Enterprises that are still waiting to implement blockchain may finally get 1or 2 reasons to smile.
7) Internet Based Video Services will kill DTH in 2019, new service providers will provide stiff competition and will end monopoly of large DTH operators by 2020. DTH policy & tariff changes along with penetration of broadband and wi-fi will see exponential growth in internet media consumers and steep churn in existing DTH connections in 2019. We should see a steep increase in people buying internet enabled TV and using home wi-fi to watch video/news. DTH operators who move to wi-fi based service will win a large market share of the WIFI_SITCOM Consumer.
8) Finally something that has worried us since 2016 and is likely to strike in 2019 is IoT Security breach. Hackers can attack unsecured IoT devices to create an extensive botnet, so they could push enough traffic to take down the DNS provider. With the number of connected devices growing rapidly, this is a problem. A world full of connected devices and autonomous things has the potential to be a dangerous world. Not because all these robots, drones and connected fridges will turn against us, but because most likely many of these products will have weak security. Security is not a core competence for IoT manufacturers and hackers have an unfair advantage. Any day hackers will exploit connected devices to create a new, global, attack on internet systems.
