All You Need To Know About Emerging Technologies

  What is Emerging Technology? Emerging technology is a term generally used to describe a new technology, but it may also refer to the continuing development of existing technology. The term commonly refers to technologies that are currently developing or that are expected to be available within the next five to ten years. Emerging technologies can help organizations scale on demand, improve resiliency, minimize infrastructure investments and deploy solutions rapidly and securely. Emerging Technologies that are creating, or are expected to create, significant social or economic effects and also Creating New Ways to Solve Business Problems

Emerging Technologies such as:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Data Science
• Machine Learning
• Deep Learning
• Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
• Blockchain Apps
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Virtual Reality (VR)
• Augmented Reality (AR)
• Mixed Reality (MR)
• Low-code and No-code

Artificial Intelligence:

Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision. Characteristics/meaning of AI

• Is the intelligence exhibited by machines.
• Is based on the premise that intelligence is not “real” or “human”.
• Mimics cognitive functions exhibited by humans.

Artificial Intelligence having three stages:

• Artificial Narrow Intelligence [ANI] - 2015Artificial General Intelligence [AGI] - 2022
• Artificial Super Intelligence [ASI] - 2050

Artificial Narrow Intelligence [ANI]

    Artificial Narrow Intelligence [ANI] is limited to one or two functional areas for recognizing an object, it is not self-aware or self-conscious, and it appears to be making decisions; but it is the statistic/maths in action in the background. Artificial Narrow Intelligence [ANI] Examples

• Smartphone Apps
• Chess and AlphaGo
• Image Indentification Tools
• Speech Recognition Tools
• Self Driving System
• Google Translate
• Spam Filters

Artificial General Intelligence [AGI]

Artificial General Intelligence covers more than one functional area, such as reasoning, problem-solving, abstract thinking, etc.     Artificial General Intelligence [AGI] Examples

• Multipurpose System
• System with human-level intelligence, reasoning, thinking, and decision-making.
• System that synthesize diverse information and decide actions.

Artificial Super Intelligence [ASI]

Artificial Super Intelligence [ASI] is expected to surpass human intelligence in 2050. Artificial Super Intelligence [ASI] Examples

• Super intelligent AI agents
• Systems that are masters at every skill, subject or discipline and are faster than the smartest humans

Artificial Intelligence: At a Glance

Some Applications of Artificial Intelligence    

• Product Analysis
  Enables companies to leverage data to reveal user engagement with products and services.
• Image Recognition
  Recognizes objects, places, people and actions in an image.
• Speech Recognition
  Allow humans to use their voice to communicate with software.
• Language Translation
  Translates a word or sentence from one language to another

What is Data Science?

Data Science is the field of study that deals with Modern Scientific Techniques, Statistical Methods, and algorithms to derive insights from vast volumes of data. Data science 25 years ago referred to gathering and cleaning datasets and then applying statistical methods to that data. In 2018, data science grew to a field that encompasses data analysis, predictive Analytics, data mining, business intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and so much more.         The data Science Lifecycle includes five stages, and it starts from the Data Discovery stage. Data Science Lifecycle in Details    

• Data Discovery Stage
  Data discovery involves asking the right questions, identifying the business problems, finding the best solution and gathering correct data from relevant sources for analysis.
• Data Preparation Stage
  Data preparation deals with cleaning the data, finding the inconsistencies, tackling missing values, converting it into the right format and making it ready for analysis.
• Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) Stage
  Analyze and visualize the data using different charts and graphs to find significant patterns and hidden trends that helps to understand the data better.
• Data Modeling Stage
  Use Classification, regression and algorithms to build machine learning models that can help predict and forecast future trends.
• Interpret the Result (Output) StageValidate the model results, draw the final conclusions and check if the performance of the model is in line with the requirements.

Data Science Components

• Data Science Components means these are the base subjects for understanding Data Science
• We need to know Mathematics, Statistics, and Data Engineering subjects to learn Data Science
• We apply different Machine Learning algorithms to the data, and as a result, we get different analytical charts and data analysis reports; through these, we can visualize data which also known as Data Visualization

   

Data Science Languages

In the Data Science world, there are different Languages, but Python is the most popular language         Different Roles in Data Science These are different roles in the Data Science field The data Scientist role is the most popular, and it requires multiple Technical Skills   In-Demand Technical Skills for Data Scientists     At least below Technical Skills required to become a Data Scientists   In-Demand Technical Skills in Details for Data Scientists

• Programming
