Top 10 Disruptive Technologies Trends For 2017
1. AI and Advanced Machine Learning
As
said above, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning compose of
many technologies. These technologies, which are different from
traditional algorithms and programs, make the machines intelligent.
Gartner predicts that the applied AI advanced machine learning will
inspire applications like robots, autonomous vehicles, consumer
electronics, virtual personal assistants, and smart advisors.
2. Intelligent Apps
Intelligent
applications like personal assistants are making our lives easier.
Gartner expects that future assistants will be more specialized and
equipped with potential to transform the workplaces and homes. Over the
course of next 10 years, every application, and service will make use of
some kind of AI. It’ll be a long-term trend that’ll evolve with time
and expand AI application in apps and services.
3. Intelligent Things
Intelligent
things are the machines that use applied machine learning to interact
with the surroundings and people more naturally. Gartner expects that
intelligent things like drones, autonomous vehicles, and smart
appliances will work together in an intelligent and collaborative
environment.
4. VR and AR
In
present times, VR and AR technologies are in their nascent phase.
Gartner expects that the landscape of immersive consumer applications
will evolve at a rapid pace through 2021. They’ll form a digital mesh by
collaborating with apps, mobile, wearables, and IoT devices.
5. Digital Twin
Digital
twin refers to a dynamic software model that uses sensor data to
understand its state. It responds to the changes accordingly and
improves its operations. They include a combination of metadata, state,
event data, and analytics. Gartner predicts that within 3-5 years,
hundreds of millions of things will be represented by digital twins.
They’ll be used for planning and repairing equipment services, for
operating factories and increasing the efficiency. They’ll replace the
combination of skilled human resources and traditional monitoring
devices.
6. Blockchain and Distributed Ledgers
In
recent years, blockchain and distributed-ledger concepts are becoming
popular as the industry thinks that they hold the power to transform the
operating models. Apart from the financial industry, they have future
applications in identity verifications, title registry, supply chain,
music distribution etc. While they have immense potential, Gartner says
that they are still in their early alpha or beta testing stage.
7. Conversational System
In
future, in the conversation interface arena, the focus will shift from
chatbots and microphone-enabled devices to the digital meshes that will
encompass a wide range of endpoints. Later, we’ll observe a greater
cooperative interaction between devices, creating a path for a new
ambient digital experience.
8. Mesh App and Service Architecture
In
MASA, mesh app and service architecture, mobile, desktop, and IoT apps
are connected to a mesh of back-end service to create an application for
the end user. This architecture exposes APIs at different levels
balancing the demand for agility and scalability of services. It allows
the users to have an optimized solution for endpoints in the digital
mesh.
9. Digital Technology Platforms
They
act as a basic building block for a digital business. Gartner has
specified 5 major focal points that help to enable new capabilities and
model businesses. These points are – information systems, customer
experience, analytics and intelligence, the IoT, and business
ecosystems. Gartner says that every organization must have a mix of
these five factors.
10. Adaptive Security Architecture
Last
but not the least, the technology companies will be focussing more on
the security applications due to a complex world of interconnected
platforms and applications. With the addition of the IoT frontier,
slowly, we are observing newer security implications.
