Emerging Technologies: Changing how we live, work and play
EY-Mint Emerging Technologies Report 2019.
Una gran cantidad de tecnologías emergentes está dando forma a nuestras vidas, posiblemente a un ritmo de cambio nunca antes visto en la historia. Habilitado por el poder de cómputo barato y el acceso a grandes conjuntos de datos, las máquinas ya están haciendo un mejor trabajo que los humanos en varias áreas. Esta "inteligencia" se está alejando de las granjas de servidores centrales hacia dispositivos y cosas que pronto se convertirán en parte de nuestra vida cotidiana. Estos dispositivos potencialmente negociarán su propio camino en nuestro mundo a través de "contratos inteligentes" y sin una intervención humana significativa. La información perceptiva superpuesta sobre estos objetos del mundo real nos ayudará a salir de los dispositivos móviles que han captado nuestra atención en este mundo posterior a Internet. Lo que parece único en este momento actual es la rápida adopción de muchas de estas tecnologías habilitadoras y su potencial para trabajar juntos para cambiar nuestras vidas.

Cisco has estimated that the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to generate about $19 trillion of value over the coming years. The staggering potential size-of-the-prize has certainly caught the attention of the world’s business community. In a recent survey of senior business leaders around the globe, 96% said their companies would be using IoT in some way within the next 3 years. However, there is a catch – most organizations are yet to derive significant commercial value from IoT. Our research shows that 70% of organizations do not generate service revenues from their IoT solutions. We have looked at why organizations are falling short in monetizing the IoT, and have tried to capture some initial observations on monetization models in what is still a very fast-developing marketplace.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

MARKET OVERVIEW
Of the many technologies that are on the horizon, perhaps
none has as much history as artificial intelligence. Although its
academic origins are traced to the 1950s, appearances in
science fiction throughout the past century have helped
embed AI into the mainstream consciousness. These
appearances also lead to heightened expectations—some
technologists argue that type of intelligence in these systems
is “assisted” or “augmented” rather than “artificial”—but
recent advances in computing have certainly accelerated the
potential of the technology.

AI having an
impact today
The familiarity around AI is reflected in relatively high
numbers among businesses around awareness and projected
impact. However, it is worth noting that “artificial
intelligence” is actually the result of a collection of
technologies. AI does not appear as a standalone item on
Gartner’s popular Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies;
instead, contributing components such as machine learning,
edge computing, and cognitive computing all have significant
hype and are projected to become productive in 2-10 years.
Similarly, IDC broadly defines cognitive and artificial
intelligence systems when building revenue projections, but
there are still subtleties beneath that general classification. As
Defining Artificial Intelligence
In general, artificial intelligence is the practice of designing
computer systems to make intelligent decisions based on
context rather than direct input. It is important to understand
that AI systems always behave according to rules that have
been programmed. Consider a computer playing chess; this
may not strike many people today as AI, but it certainly fits
the definition of a system that has been given rules and
calculates probabilities and decisions on the fly based on the
moves of the opponent.
Today, AI is gaining hype and traction as capabilities approach
something that looks like sentience. There are specific trends
that have contributed to this situation, and these trends are
the requisite components as companies build AI into their
plans.
• Ubiquitous data: As storage costs drop and companies
learn how to manage unstructured data, there is
exponential growth in the amount of data available for
input, context, and decision-making.
• Advanced hardware: An aggressive technology strategies
drives a more tailored approach, and GPU-based systems
are becoming popular options for AI activity (with many
companies opting to use cloud providers rather than
invest in on-prem equipment).
• Powerful algorithms: Based on the type of data being
used and the type of activity being performed, many new
machine learning algorithms have emerged to optimize
predictions and behavior, with deep learning as one of the
most prominent examples.

Ways AI is used among early adopters
At an even more basic level, AI is finding its way into standard
parts of an IT architecture. Infrastructure components such as
firewalls and routers are now enhanced with AI functionality,
especially as software-defined networking becomes more
prevalent. Even end user applications are using AI to provide
suggestions that can improve quality or usability. Again, AI
may not be part of a new corporate initiative, but may come
in simply as tools are upgraded or introduced.
Finally, virtual assistants are gaining traction in the workplace.
This could include tools specifically designed for business
(such as Amy Ingram from x.ai) or mass market products
(such as Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa). In all cases, software
has contextual understanding that allows information to be
share and tasks to be automated.
CHALLENGES
Whether or not companies have started to explore AI, there
are definite concerns and challenges with implementing the
technology. Topping the list is a fear that might be fueled by
sci-fi depictions: a lack of insight into AI decision-making. This
worry is higher outside the IT function—40% of executives
and 44% of non-IT employees are concerned about this area
compared to just 36% of IT workers. This is a good
opportunity for technical specialists to lend their expertise to
business discussions.

As far as revenue goes, IDC projects that $12.5 billion will be
spent on AI systems in 2017, and that number will grow at
54.4% through 2020. However, IDC points out that this
activity includes “intelligent applications based on cognitive
computing, artificial intelligence, and deep learning.” In many
cases, applications and IT components that companies
already have in place will gain AI capabilities through
upgrades, or new purchases focused on a business goal will
have the added benefit of an AI underpinning.
This reality is already present in the early stages of AI
adoption. Among the 50% of companies that are aware of AI
in place at their organization, there is recognition that the
capabilities are built into existing tools and the challenge lies
in utilization. In many cases, AI will not be a means unto itself,
but rather a critical ingredient undergirding operations inside
digital organizations.
USE CASES
With a long history in popular culture and high-profile
examples in the consumer space, many people have a skewed
or limited perception of AI. While natural language interfaces
or intelligent chatbots are certainly part of the AI ecosystem,
they are among the least popular ways that businesses are
currently utilizing new forms of machine intelligence.
It is no great surprise to see that AI in many cases is tied to
another emerging technology—Internet of Things. The
complexity of IoT systems practically demands some form of
automation and network learning. While certain benefits of
IoT can be gained from simpler implementations, large-scale
systems will likely include AI as part of the solution.

The tables turn when it comes to the second challenge.
Consumer technology has helped create a perception that
complex systems have minimal support requirements. Only
33% of executives are worried about supporting new AI
capabilities. However, both business employees and non-IT
employees are gaining an appreciation for the ongoing
support needed for an expanded tech footprint; 43% of both
groups are concerned about the proper level of support.

WORKFORCE ISSUES
A final concern worth noting is the possible elimination of
jobs as intelligent computers take over more and more
workflow. In general, it is very hard to predict the exact
impact of technology across the entire job market (although
previous technical revolutions have consistently led to net
gains).
CompTIA’s 2017 IT Industry Outlook references a study by
McKinsey & Company on this topic. According to McKinsey,
60% of all occupations have some duties that could be
automated to some degree. Of course, automating a subset
of duties does not directly correlate to job elimination, but
there is no doubt that some overall occupations are at risk as
companies turn certain tasks over to AI. Most experts in the
field, though, believe that the digital economy will feature
new roles working in concert with intelligent systems.
Artificial intelligence comes with historical baggage and
serious questions, but the potential is tremendous. Continued
economic growth will require the deep insights that come
from AI, but will also require the creativity and empathy that
come from human beings connected in a global society.
About This Research
This research brief is part of a larger study conducted
by CompTIA on the awareness and application of
emerging technology. Other topics in this series
include: blockchain, AR/VR, automation, drones, and
the business implications of early stage technology.

The quantitative study consisted of an online survey
fielded to U.S. workforce professionals during
October 2016. A total of 701 businesses based in the
United States participated in the survey, yielding an
overall margin of sampling error proxy at 95%
confidence of +/- 3.8 percentage points. Sampling
error is larger for subgroups of the data.
As with any survey, sampling error is only one source
of possible error. While non-sampling error cannot be
accurately calculated, precautionary steps were taken
in all phases of the survey design, collection and
processing of the data to minimize its influence.
