Top 5 Artificial Intelligence(AI) Predictions in 2020

 Artificial Intelligence is the golden world in modern times! All top companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. are heavily investing in AI research and development and that doesn’t even include all the new AI startups that have sprung up!!! And this trend is only set to increase even more in the future with the AI industry estimated to reach 118 billion dollar in 2025.

However, there is a flip side to this AI coin. As stated by Stephen Hawking, “Artificial Intelligence likely the best or worst thing to happen to humanity”. And that’s yet to be seen! It is very difficult to predict how AI technology will develop in the future and if it will ever become fully aware like human beings. However, what we can predict is how AI will develop in the coming year and what new applications will become more common in society. So let’s see the Top 5 Artificial Intelligence Predictions in 2020 now!

1. Human Augmentation

Currently, humans are the most dominant species on the planet but what if they could be enhanced even more using technology? This is what human augmentation is trying to do! Human augmentation can be purely in the physical by increasing their capabilities using various gadgets. Or they can be much more mental like trying to synch the human brain with various technologies. That is obviously much more difficult!!!

2. Multi Experience

In the future, it could be difficult for humans to understand what is real and what only appears to be real! This can be done using technologies like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) which can provide multi-dimensional experiences that were never seen before! This means that people can experience interactions with technology that are multi-sensory in nature.

3. Artificial Intelligence Ethics

While artificial intelligence is becoming more and more popular, nobody knows how far it can actually develop! While some people believe that artificial intelligence will become fully aware and a super-species, others think this is not possible and AI will just support humans in the future. But still, there are many ethical problems relating to artificial intelligence that companies are tackling in present times.

4. Hyperautomation

With the rise of robots, there is certainly a rise in automation. And now this trend has escalated in 2020 in the form of Hyperautomation. But are you wondering “What is Automation, let alone Hyperautomation”?!! Simply put, automation is the technology by which work is done by machines with very little(or zero) human help. But Hyperautomation goes even beyond that. It is the capacity of machines to use machine learning along with various automation tools to become even more independent.

5. Autonomous Things

There are many types of machines and robots that use artificial intelligence to automatically perform functions without the help of humans. All of these machines collectively are known as autonomous things. And while most autonomous things are currently tested in protected environments or only in limited areas, artificial intelligence is becoming better day by day. These autonomous things keep learning from each other and soon you may see autonomous robots a lot in public.
