2023 will invariably be remembered as a landmark year when the tidal wave of ‘AI’ swept across the globe. Having been brewing under the surface for well over a decade, AI and a slew of intertwined technologies like IoT, Robotics, ML and Data Analytics stand at the precipice of irreversibly transforming age-old workflows and, in the process, ushering in a new dawn for how economic value is inherently created. The transition from a ‘technology-assisted’ economy to a partially & eventually even a wholly autonomous one, has well & truly begun!
Characterized by the ethos of ‘increased efficiency, productivity & data-driven accuracy’, automation has progressively permeated into almost every single industry worldwide. From generative AI (OpenAI, NVIDIA, Lumen5, Midjourney), logistics & delivery via drones (Ameriflight), autonomous vehicles (GM Cruise, Waymo, Tesla) & healthcare (Intuitive Surgical, Aidoc, Beckman Coulter) to the energy ecosystem (Siemens, Schneider Electric), precision agriculture & farm management (Taranis, John Deere), manufacturing (FANUC) and cybersecurity (Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, Tenable), the possibilities are seemingly endless.
Amidst all the chatter of a revolutionary upheaval of business models & the promise of previously unparalleled optimization of resources (human & machine alike), the socio-economic impact of an autonomous economy cannot be understated either. With millions of jobs facing replacement by AI & Robotics-led systems, an unprecedented upskilling and/or reskilling awaits a majority of the industrial workforce, eventually giving rise to a ‘new collar worker’, requiring a high proficiency in the management of automated frameworks.
As we set foot into a new dawn, companies who can quickly pivot to leverage the power of AI in the present, while parallelly strategizing & evolving in the background, to integrate automation into their very fabric in the long term, stand poised for sustained success in the coming decade!
