Innovation at the Convergence of Emerging Technologies: Business at the Edge - DataScienceCentral.com

In the context of digital transformation and innovation, there is no lack of "hot topics" to discuss. Emerging technologies are truly emerging everywhere. What is most exciting – and what demonstrates their greatest promise – is that these new technologies are converging to produce innovative new businesses, products, and services. Over the past decade, we have watched the blossoming of Big Data Analytics and Data Science, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT), Autonomous Systems (vehicles, drones), Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), Metaverse (immersive mixed reality environments), Digital Twins, Blockchain, 5G/6G, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Conversational AI (virtual assistants, ChatGPT), and Quantum Computing. We will focus here on only a few of those. Data comes from sensors, measuring and monitoring the states and behaviors of people, products, and processes.
