The months seem to be whipping by in a whirlwind and before long we will be into the new year. While it can be easy to get caught up in plans for marketing for the holidays, casting your eye further is necessary. Because 2020 is more than just a milestone, it is an opportunity to start implementing the hottest digital marketing trends that are going to be dominating the industry. Digital marketing has a wider scope and greater applications than ever before. Statista projected that by the close of 2019, active email accounts would be increasing to an astonishing 5.6 billion.

Does artificial intelligence pose a major threat or are the dangers overblown? "If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. "I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I were to guess like what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that. So we need to be very careful with the artificial intelligence.

New York (CNN Business)Technology is a blessing and a curse for the modern office worker. Lightning-fast computers make the impossible possible. But constant distraction and friction slows work down. Workers are bombarded with a steady stream of emails, instant messages and requirements to log onto different systems to do such basic tasks as requesting vacation and filing expense reports. Citrix Systems (CTXS), which makes workplace platforms used by about 100 million people every day, is trying to improve the office technology experience by bringing a Facebook-like newsfeed to your work computer and smartphone.

Over the year, evolution in global technologies has made people move forward from fixed phones to mobile phones. Today, every sector is readily and rapidly adapting the Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the fast-paced modern industries, AI is becoming an integral part of business operations. AI is not limited trend-based forecasting in marketing but its presence is getting indispensable in every vertical of the company. AI is much more efficient in analysing data patterns, based on these patterns companies acquire in-depth knowledge about their potential customers, their requirements and their behaviour.

As evidence, he cited Beijing's access to vast amounts of data and its substantial investment in research and development for artificial intelligence.

As wildfire season raged in California this fall, a startup a few states away used artificial intelligence to pinpoint the location of blazes there within minutes -- in some cases far faster than these fires might otherwise be noticed by firefighters or civilians. Santa Fe-based Descartes Labs, which uses AI to analyze satellite imagery, launched its US wildfire detector in July. The company's AI software pores over images coming in roughly every few minutes from two different US government weather satellites, in search of any changes -- the presence of smoke, a shift in thermal infrared data showing hot spots -- that could indicate a fire has ignited. Descartes is testing its detector by sending alerts to select forestry officials in its home state of New Mexico and told CNN Business its wildfire detector has spotted about 6,200 total thus far. The company says it can often detect these fires when they're just about 10 acres in size.

Digital technology is widely accepted as a necessary part of driving improved supply chain efficiency and effectiveness. But some business leaders think it could go a step further, suggesting the technology could propel not only greater productivity, but help craft an autonomous supply chain able to identify, forecast and fix problems on its own. A combination of technologies, from artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning to digital twins and cloud computing, have made it increasingly possible for end-to-end supply chains to make decisions without the need for human intervention. These technologies, which appear to have all the right ingredients for the formation of an autonomous supply chain, are slowly permeating the market. Ocado is using advanced autonomous supply chain processes to help make accurate predictions.

Artificial Intelligence is still learning and getting stronger each day. But the pros and cons for the technology have always been in the limelight. From its use for data breaches to deepfakes, 2019 has shown us that AI is here to stay, but not without putting a price on our comfort. Where organisations take up most of your data to feed it to a machine-learning algorithm to get better results, you begin to question whether the data that you haven't shared yet is worth anything. There were also some instances where your nightmare of'AI overtaking the humans' was revisited.

Team MAVLab received a $1 million cash prize for winning the 2019 Artificial Intelligence Robotic Racing Championship. Team MAVLab, the drone research lab of the Delft University of Technology, won a $1 million cash prize as the leading AlphaPilot team of the 2019 Artificial Intelligence Robotic Racing Circuit, the autonomous drone racing series that accelerates AI innovation through futuristic sports competition. The winning team was announced by Lockheed Martin and The Drone Racing League (DRL), the professional drone racing circuit, following the AIRR Championship, which took place Friday (December 6) at the Austin American-Statesman in Austin, Texas. Lockheed Martin sponsored the $1 million cash prize. The AIRR Championship marked the final race of a four-event series that aims to advance the development and testing of fully autonomous drone technologies for real-world applications including disaster relief, search and rescue missions, and space exploration.
