Reinventing yourself in the Metaverse through digital identity
Metaverse users can reinvent themselves with a digital identity built upon avatars and digital assets, but there are challenges to consider.
The Metaverse has become one of the biggest buzzwords of the year as a number of brands, companies and even countries begin to explore virtual worlds to conduct business. Even though Metaverse development is still underway, a recent report from the technology research and advisory firm Technavio found that the Metaverse will hit a market share value of $50.37 billion by the year 2026.
The Best Examples Of Human And Robot Collaboration
The future of work is not about humans being replaced by robots. Rather, it is about us learning to work alongside smart, automated technology that will augment our capabilities while allowing us to focus on skills that are uniquely humans.
We have been sharing our workplaces with robots for some time now – the earliest industrial robots were used in the mid-20th century, usually to carry out routine, manual assembly work on production lines. What makes today’s industrial robots different is that they are capable of carrying out work in a way that is truly autonomous, without needing direct control or input from us to tell them how to do it. This is because they are controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) – specifically software algorithms that use machine learning to enable them to continuously get better and better at their jobs.
Top Three Ways COVID-19 Revved the Deployment of Artificial Intelligence
New algorithms, as well as more accessible and reasonably priced processing power, are enabling Artificial Intelligence (AI) to become more and more commonplace. It has been over 70 years since AI technology began to evolve. The pandemic pushed the adoption of AI rather than its development.
According to the IBM Global AI Adoption Index 2021, nearly a third of IT companies worldwide are now embracing AI. The COVID-19 pandemic, according to over 43% of the IT experts polled worldwide, caused their organizations to expedite the use of AI.
Top Trending Artificial Intelligence AI Technologies in 2022
A brand-new area of computer science was initially referred to as “artificial intelligence” in 1955. Many daily jobs are being replaced by artificial intelligence, requiring less human involvement. But what precisely is this new AI technology? AI refers to the process of teaching a computer system to function and think like a human brain. This is often accomplished through reinforcement learning, in which the computer learns from past errors and observed patterns. For instance, a trained model defeated the world champion in the difficult-to-learn and won a game of AlphaGO by self-training itself many times and learning from its mistakes each time it lost a game.
Five reasons why blockchain will fortify IoT technologies
Blockchain is nothing new. Originally proposed in 1982, and eventually harnessed in 2008 as the technology behind Bitcoin, blockchain acts as an immutable publicly distributed ledger. Each block cannot be edited and cannot be deleted. It is secure, decentralized and tamper-proof.
These attributes hold immense value for IoT infrastructures, and point the way to a more transparent future. Blockchain technologies can be used to support IoT deployments by improving decentralization, heightening security and bringing better visibility to connected devices.
5 data security challenges enterprises face today
Data empowers enterprises to succeed. But with great power comes great responsibility — to keep that data secure. Here are five challenges today’s businesses must meet.
Data has become the lifeblood of the enterprise, providing competitive differentiation, customer insights and product ideas. With the plummeting costs of storage, sensors and compute, the typical organization is eagerly accumulating more and more data.
Developing a new approach for building quantum computers
Quantum computing, though still in its early days, has the potential to dramatically increase processing power by harnessing the strange behavior of particles at the smallest scales. Some research groups have already reported performing calculations that would take a traditional supercomputer thousands of years. In the long term, quantum computers could provide unbreakable encryption and simulations of nature beyond today’s capabilities.
Virtual Reality Balance Training for Patients with Parkinson’s Disease
“Benefits of Virtual Reality Balance Training for Patients With Parkinson Disease: Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Meta-Regression of a Randomized Controlled Trial” was recently published by JMIR Publications in JMIR Serious Games.
It detailed how more and more biomedical research studies are focusing on virtual reality (VR) balance training, particularly with respect to examining balance ability with VR.
What are the pros and cons of buying NFTs in 2022
With cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology has spawned an entirely new kind of investment. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are another popular investment that gained popularity in the year 2021 thanks to blockchain. People are starting to embrace NFTs ever since they’ve been officially accepted and regulated in the financial sector. These tokens are becoming more and more valuable, and more people have begun to acquire them solely for trading on exchanges.
How the fintech industry can embrace the Metaverse
Recently, the metaverse has been making global news. Before proceeding any further, one needs to define the concept for lay readers. Broadly, the metaverse could be defined as a three-dimensional virtual reality universe wherein users can work, shop, socialize and play, much as they do in real life – except that here it happens online. Since it combines both the virtual and the augmented reality, it simulates a graphically rich digital environment.
Steps for Making Your Office IoT-Friendly
Is your home office ready for the IoT revolution? If the Internet of Things has not been on your radar lately, it’s time for a reality check. In the past five years, the market for net connected devices for homes has exploded. Merchants are having a hard time keeping inventories stocked because devices like voice-activated appliances, smart thermostats, automated lighting systems, smartwatches, and security components are consumer and entrepreneur favorites in 2022/23.
The Internet of things: Ushering in the next technological revolution?
As the digital age progresses, the internet has become an essential component of people’s lives and workplace cultures. According to Statista, India had over 622 million active internet users in 2020, and by 2025, that number is expected to exceed 900 million. Even though there is a divide between urban and rural areas, it is shrinking as a result of development, changing landscapes, and the rapid expansion of internet access.
Few aspects of our daily lives have remained untouched by the so-called “internet of things” one of the most pervasive technological trends to emerge in the twenty-first century.
Role of technology in reshaping the FinTech Industry
Puneet Pratap Singh, Partner in Charge, Heidrick & Struggles India talks about how technology has played an important role in transforming the FinTech industry. The growing use of technology in India is largely determined by the fast pace of innovation, increased alliances between banking institutions and fintech enterprises, and a robust talent pool.
Five reality checks before implementing Digital Transformation
Since the Covid-19 outbreak, each enterprise has realised that transformation with time is indeed becoming a requirement for growth. As we move forward to the new era, technology, and other innovations are evolving at a breakneck pace and emerging as the most influential business tools worldwide. However, the road to digital transformation could be burdensome if the right set of points is not kept in mind. As a result, to achieve a smooth transition from legacy-defined business models, digital transformation has become the most indispensable factor for a company to improve the radical changes imposed by the pandemic on growth.
New Quantum Computer Unlocks More Computational Power
Computers are well-known for operating with binary information, or zeros and ones, which has led to computers powering so much of today’s world. Current quantum computers are also designed to process binary information.
Martin Ringbauer is an experimental physicist from Innsbruck, Austria.
“The building blocks of quantum computers, however, are more than just zeros and ones,” Ringbauer says. “Restricting them to binary systems prevents these devices from living up to their true potential.”
