Of the 500 IT personnel surveyed, 38% of the respondents mentioned that AI is the main focus of corporate investment, while the Internet of Things is 31%, and the blockchain is based on 10%. IoT connected devices It usually generates huge data to train machine learning (ML) models.
Among the companies surveyed, the Internet of Things has more layout than AI, because the IoT and edge computing industries are relatively stable at the current stage, and such a solid foundation can improve the accuracy of machine learning and become necessary for AI. prerequisites.

Not only is the "platform as a service" (PaaS) company provides companies with more data for training computers, but also makes the equipment universal. (Interoperability) The degree of improvement. Furthermore, a large number of mature machine learning libraries and APIs have reduced the threshold for entering the AI.
With the advent of new technologies that support AI and the Internet of Things, business organizations must adhere to the focus of development and have prevented the spread of time scales from indefinite development cycles.

SADA also appeals that news surrounding emerging technologies will cause companies to be more willing to invest in new technologies, but security and privacy tend to lag behind the development of technologies, and investing in new technologies will certainly be hidden from security concerns. SADA believes that companies like If you really want to become a pioneer in emerging technologies, then you cannot ignore the safety testing of emerging technologies.
In a report from Oxford University in 2018, researchers pointed out that if there is a loophole in AI technology, the workflow efficiency of machine learning may be undermined, and the operation of the business may be endangered, if the importance of safety testing is neglected. Sex, I'm afraid I won't get it.
The blockchain has long attracted a lot of attention from the tech media from last year, but it lags behind the Internet of Things and AI in terms of corporate investment.
