Transcripts
the top ten strategic technology trends
are all about building the intelligent
digital mesh how artificial intelligence
is driving everything that we do across
many systems going into the future
it's about the digital world bringing
the virtual world in the real world
together into a new digital reality and
it's about connections
that's the mesh connecting people
connecting processes connecting things
together in new and interesting ways
it's the convergence of all of this and
using it to support a continuous
innovation process autonomous things is
the first trend on our strategic
technology trend list autonomous things
is about using AI technology to drive
new capabilities in hardware and
software systems on the land with
autonomous vehicles in the air with
drones and even on the sea with
autonomous shipping when we look at this
world of autonomous things it's not just
those Hardware systems it's software as
well so we're gonna see autonomous
things in the digital world with
intelligent agents working on our behalf
our second trend is augmented analytics
augmented analytics is about not
replacing people with AI systems but
augmenting people specifically with
augmented analytics it's around the
world of analytics and business
intelligence so we're creating citizen
data scientists imagine a world using
natural language interfaces where a
sales manager can say what are the
biggest issues that are going to impact
my sales and whether I'm going to hit
quota next month the system then can
automatically bring together the right
data sets look at lots of different
hypotheses around that and come up with
insights that you otherwise would not
have had AI driven development is the
third trend on our strategic technology
trend list ai driven development is
about using AI in the context of the
development process it's about making it
easier to create AI enabled systems will
eventually see AI driven automated code
generation we're starting to see
automated testing tool
and seeing automated model generation as
well
the fourth trend is digital twin a
digital twin is a digital representation
of a real-world thing that are connected
together we can have digital twins of
people processes and things have the
equipment manufacturers Airlines and
others are using this concept of the
digital twin to monitor real-world
assets and drive significant savings in
maintenance and repair and operations
areas and over time we're going to link
the digital twins of various processes
of people in things together to support
smart cities and similar initiatives
empowered edge is the fifth trend on the
strategic technology trend list the
Empowered edge is all about how we're
driving greater capabilities into those
edge devices there's three key things
that we're looking at here number one is
cloud to the edge looking at how cloud
computing is not competing with the edge
but we're using cloud architectures to
deliver capabilities and manage
capabilities out to the edge it's also
about actually empowering those edge
devices with AI chips greater compute
capabilities more storage and finally
it's about communicating to the edge so
things like 5g that are going to start
ramping up next year and growing over
the next five years are going to really
drive edge computing our sixth trend on
the list is immersive experience
immersive experience is all about how
humans interact with the digital world
how we perceive the digital world is
changing and this is the world of
augmented and virtual and mixed reality
something like remote assistance we see
companies using this to say have an
expert engineer work with somebody in a
remote factory to get a piece of
equipment back online saving millions of
dollars of the production line is not
down but it's also about how we interact
with the digital world and this is where
we see various conversational platforms
through smart speakers and chat BOTS and
things like that creating customer
service agents etc blockchain is a
seventh trend on our strategic
technology trend list
blockchain is a ledger but it's a shared
ledger a distributed ledger an immutable
ledger with an algorithmic based trust
model to validate the transactions that
are going in the ledger the key value
proposition around blockchain is
reducing business friction and
technology friction as this ledger is
independent of individual applications
and potentially operating across
companies smart spaces is the eighth
trend on our strategic technology trend
list smart spaces is about creating
environments and bring a number of
technologies and trends together in an
integrated fashion to support targeted
persona or user category or a specific
industry scenario examples of smart
spaces include advanced digital work
places connected factories are smart
cities as we go forward it's not about
looking at a smart city with a bunch of
individual applications or components
but it's integrating it together to
create a digital twin of that city the
ninth trend is privacy and ethics just
because we can do something with
artificial intelligence should we and
we've seen major privacy challenges one
example is a fitness tracking company
that had a cool idea to track where
their users were unfortunately some of
those fitness trackers were used by
military people in Iraq and so suddenly
information about the location of these
soldiers was published on the Internet
just because we can gather all this
information about people should we our
tenth trend is quantum computing let me
tell you how to think about quantum
computing imagine you had a giant
library with millions and millions of
books a classic computer would read all
those books in a linear fashion but
really really fast with quantum
computing it's like reading all the
books at the same time quantum computing
has a potential to solve problems in
chemistry material science and other
areas that are impossible to solve today
these are the trends that you can't
afford to ignore
these are the trends that are going to
power your continuous next process these
are the trends that are going to
underlay your creation of the
intelligent digital mesh these are the
trends that are going to create business
value and your differentiation of the
future
you
