by Gartner explained in 5 minutesby Vencel Cserhati (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vencel-cserhati/

1. Applied AI and Advanced Machine Learning

• Enablers: extensive processing power, advanced algorythms

• Includes deep learning, neural networks, nature language processing

• Systems can understand, learn, predict and adapt in order to act autonomously

• Enables creation of even more intelligent devices and programs

2. Intelligent Apps• Improves end user

productivity

• e.g. Virtual Personal Assistant

• Enhances enterprise applications

• AI powered

• ML enabled

Combined with Big Data and Advanced Analytics significantly improves customer experience

3. Intelligent Things• New intelligent things on the

market

• Robots

• Drones

• Autonomous vehicles

• Existing things (like IoT) are improved

• get AI power

• become collaborative

Over time intelligent things will communicate with one another and act in concert

4. Virtual and Augmented Reality

• It transforms the way we interact

• Creates an immerse environment

• AR blends real and virtual worlds

• Over time AR and VR expands to include also human senses not just visual

5. Digital Twin• It is a dynamic software

model of a physical thing or system

• Use physics data of how things operate combined with data provided by sensors

Combined with people and processes enables digital representation of the real world for simulation, analysis and control

6. Blockchain• Distributed ledger in which

transactions are sequentially grouped into blocks

• Allows suppliers and customers to connect directly removing the need for a third party

• Exchanges are secured using cryptographic solutions picture credit to vertafore.com

7. Conversational systems

• Supports simple, bidirectional text or voice conversations or even complex interactions

• Computer hears, learns and adapts to human not vice versa

• Enables not just text and voice but multiple modalities (e.g. sight, tactile) for communication

8. Mesh App and Service Architecture

Multichannel architecture required by “intelligent digital mesh” that uses

• cloud resources

• containers

• microservices

in order to deliver modular, flexible and intelligent solutions

10. Adaptive Security Architecture

• Attributes

• Multiple layers of defense

• User behavior analytics

• Security architecture required by “intelligent digital mesh” and digital platforms has to be flexible and adaptive

• Security teams to work with enterprise and solution architects to consider security in the design as early as possible
