Whenever one talks about technology that is revolutionizing the world around you, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is always on the top of the list. In fact, as per the study conducted by IDC, the spending on AI technologies is expected to increase to $97.9 billion by 2023. While the world struggles with the Pandemic, AI technology is constantly growing. Why? You ask. Well, with organizations and companies operating from home, AI is evolving more every day to help them automate their day-to-day activity.

What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a branch of Computer science that is focused on building smart machines. This is the technology that enables machines to think and act with human intelligence. While most of you might be aware of what AI is, still do you know that AI along with the rising technologies ML (Machine Learning) and Deep Learning have made and are making several trendsetting changes in the market.

Here, we are going to list the latest AI (Artificial Intelligence) trends that are lighting a spark in 2021. Let’s start the list without any ado.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) Trends for 2021

1. AI and Cloud Collaboration

As per the experts, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is expected to play a vital role in the progression of cloud solutions in 2021. When it comes to monitoring and managing the cloud resources that are on the rise, thanks to the work from home environment, AI plays a vital role. There are several pieces of evidence of this successful collaboration that we are using today like – Apple Siri, Google Home & Alexa. These technologies have brought core changes to everyone’s life. Now, you can make an appointment, listen to music, and even use a household appliance by giving a voice command. In the coming years, we will witness more & more progress in this line.

2. AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IT (Information Technology)

IT industry has been constantly evolving and embracing AI (Artificial Intelligence). In the year 2021, this trend is expected to grow even more. It is expected that AI will help automate different functions in the industry, even more than it is already. With the help of AI, IT companies are reducing the downtime of their functions significantly. 

3. Low Code / No Code

AutoML, a technology that is driven by two different technologies – artificial intelligence & machine learning is in trend. AutoML is a process that works on algorithmic selection while finding the best ML or deep learning solution for a given dataset. Thanks to AutoMLtechnology,  low code / no-code app development, and software development platforms are trending.

4. AI and Structuring of data

In the coming years, thanks to machine learning and natural language processing, we will see more structured data. More and more organizations are leveraging the power of these technologies to create data that later can be processed using RPA technology to automate their transactional activity. The only challenge in this entire process is that one has to feed structured data to the process to get results that can be achieved using AI.

5. AI and Marketing Technology

“Martech”, this word comprises of two terms – marketing and technology. It is not wrong to say that marketing is the data center of the organization as it involves the collection, organization, and translation of the data collected from the customers and clients, which later is used for deductions to help in marketing. Thanks to AI, this process is being automated. In the coming years, we will be witnessing more development on that front.

6. Healthcare and AI (Artificial Intelligence)

Since last year, the healthcare industry has been overwhelmed fighting the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. The question is where does AI jump in? As most of the hospital staff along with the doctors are busy treating COVID patients, there is a huge need of automating certain tasks such as triage, diagnosing, evaluating medical records, etc. This automation is done using AI (Artificial Intelligence). It not just ease the entire work environment of the hospital, but will also help reduce the chance of human error. In the coming years, we will witness huge acceptance of AI in hospitals.

7. Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Cybersecurity is crucial, considering the amount and importance of data being processed as well as stored online. As much as the technology is progressing, the hackers are also becoming more and more active & progressing. As per the study, the number of hackings is going to increase over the years. With the help of AI (Artificial Intelligence), the algorithms can be developed using with the user can learn different ways to decipher the pattern of behavior. This algorithm can help detect suspicious behavior and prevent hacking.

8. Conversational AI is going on trend

Since conversation plays an important part in any organization, it is important that we find an efficient means to communicate with the customer and client to build a relationship. This is where the AI-powered chatbots jump in.  These chatbots are designed to improve the responsiveness and customer experience. With the help of conversational AI (Artificial Intelligence), one can significantly improve the quality of their customer service.

9. AIoT (Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things)

The technologies like Alexa and Siri are something that we enjoy because of the intersection of the confluence of the two individual technologies – AI and IoT. As per the surveys, in the year 2021, we are going to see a rise in projects based on both IoT and AI technology.

10. AI-Based Analysis

There are many AI solutions in the market that help businesses get assistance with real-time alerts. In the coming years, we will witness several content intelligent technologies driven by AI that will assist the digital workers to forecast and analyze different parameters to make the informed decision.

Bottom Line

Finally, we have listed different AI trends that one can expect in 2021. AI is definitely on the rise and with so many researchers working on finding the new possibilities in which Artificial intelligence can help improve day-to-day activity, we will definitely have a lot to expect out of the technology. AI’s spectrum is quite broad and its usage cannot be bounded. This is the reason why it is important that you keep yourself up to date with different trends that can surface from time to time. We hope this piece helped you find out more about the rising AI technology.
