1. Artificial Intelligence
Few new technologies have generated the amount of buzz (and, in some cases, hype) in the IT industry as artificial intelligence has. The potential applications for AI are nearly limitless and CompTIA calls AI “the largest force in emerging technology today.”
AI refers to programmed algorithms that automatically parse and apply knowledge with the ultimate goal of replicating human learning and thought processes. AI subcategories include machine learning, deep learning and neural networks.
Potential applications for AI in IT are nearly limitless. While many leading IT vendors have jumped on the AI bandwagon and begun building AI technology and concepts into their products, there has also been a wave of startups like Brain Corp., Covariant, DefinedCrowd and ModelOp that are bringing AI innovations to market.
