As we navigate the post-pandemic world (and grapple with Covid's continual resurgence), voice technology supported by AI will be healthcare's next big tool. Artificial intelligence rocketed up the hype cycle during the pandemic, but no ascension is more fascinating than voice technology. With use cases in multiple industries, including the one on everyone's mind--healthcare, voice tech investments, and deployment will only increase as we navigate a post-Covid world. Voice tech has multiple use case potentials even outside the common customer service applications. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon, for example, pioneered voice tech to identify potential Covid infections from the sound of someone's voice and breathing patterns.

From cultivation to improving harvesting quality, AI is known as one of the main elements for a surplus yield but that too for the ones who are capable enough to make use of it. Agriculture is seeing rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, both in terms of agricultural products and in field farming techniques. Apart from that, most of the countries are looking forward to involving such techniques. In 2016, the estimated value added by the agricultural industry was estimated at just under 1% of the US GDP. The US Environmental Protection Agency, estimates that agriculture contributes roughly $330 billion in annual revenue to the economy, thus such techniques would definitely speed things up.

Experts have warned that an "arms race" is underway as countries try to use artificial intelligence to boost cyber security skills. "Whoever masters artificial intelligence will dominate the world in the future", a senior NATO cyber defence official told the DSEI 2019 conference in London. The official called on policymakers to pursue the technology and not be caught up in ethical debates over autonomous weapons systems and so-called killer robots. "There will be killer robots out there not bound by morality, ethics, or law," he said. Retired US Navy Vice Admiral Jan Tighe, who served as director of naval intelligence and was the former deputy chief for information warfare, also warned that developments in AI and cyber warfare will pose significant new challenges to security across the world.
