Yansong Chen, senior vice president of strategy and technology at Ricardo--an environmental, engineering, and strategic consulting company--says advanced technologies are changing the way the industry looks at its value proposition, at a fundamental level. "They're also changing the way that the industry perceives its role in interacting with the customer." The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) clearly shows how change has swept across the auto industry over the past decade. Global sales of passenger EVs in 2022 exceeded 10 million for the first time ever. One in every sevenpassenger cars bought globally in 2022 was an EV, compared with just one in every 70 cars sold in 2017.

In recent years, the concepts of AI and Metaverse have gained much attention, with more people and businesses beginning to realize their importance in the future digital world. The development of Web3 technology has also provided more possibilities for the development of Metaverse. AI Meta Club, recognizing the immense potential of the metaverse and the rise of Web3 technologies, has decided to enter into strategic collaborations with various Web3 projects to harness the power of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies to revolutionize the way people interact, work, and play in the digital world, and at the same time, jointly build a new and thriving Metaverse ecosystem. AI Meta Club's collaboration with multiple Web3 projects will focus on the following key aspects of the Metaverse to foster a thriving digital ecosystem: AI Meta Club will work with Web3 projects to create decentralized networks and protocols that facilitate seamless interaction between users, assets, and environments.

AI will form a key component of cyber defense strategies in 2023, allowing companies to move to an entirely new approach to cybersecurity. Because of this, companies look to innovative tools to respond to threats and--even better--prevent them in the first place. Previously, Gartner outlined its top seven cybersecurity trends for last year. With each one, it becomes more apparent that humans will need the support of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to stay ahead of the curve. These predictions for 2022 are becoming even more potent for this year.

Mixing the real and virtual worlds to create something completely new, mixed reality is one of the least explored parts of today's immersive environments. While we have just begun to scratch the surface of mixed reality with AR (Augmented Reality), there is still a lot of work to do before we see a fully customized MR experience in the everyday world. Mixed Reality goes beyond the basics of AR to make the virtual and real worlds more connected and aligned than ever before. Creating a true mixed reality experience requires access to cutting-edge software and hardware, as well as endless creativity and intuition. Fortunately, there are a handful of companies in the MR space that are starting to make waves in the industry.

The addition of App IQ and IAP SKU (In-App Purchase SKU) will provide insights to drive effective consumer strategies. Digital success requires engaging with consumers where they spend the vast majority of their time - mobile. The challenge is that mobile app store categories are antiquated causing enterprise teams to spend precious bandwidth on onerous research and manual analysis of competitors. App IQ illuminates the digital landscape by providing an industry-first, robust taxonomy (19 genres / 152 subgenres), combining both app stores. Enterprises can now identify new partnership opportunities, competitive threats and quickly react to the ever-changing landscape.

The world's biggest tech manufacturers are currently taking the stage at IFA 2019 in Berlin, Germany. The event is billed as Europe's largest consumer tech show where consumer tech meets innovation. But in a digital world where the lines between B2B and B2C are becoming increasingly blurry, there are a few critical lessons for businesses from all industries too. On the surface, IFA is simply a platform for 1,939 of the world's leading tech brands and manufacturers to showcase their latest innovations, products, or services across 163,900 square meters. Sure, many of these products will appear on wish lists and dominate headlines around Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the impending holiday season. But, if you zoom out from that, there is a message for every CEO.

The term "artificial intelligence" refers to computer software that continually "learns" as it goes. Some examples of AI are voice-enabled devices ("Hey Siri"!), and self-driving cars … even Pandora and Netflix have incorporated AI with their use of predictive technology to suggest new music and movies based on our interests. Artificial intelligence mimics the human mind in that it changes responses based on gathered data, and it gets smarter the more it's used. Here at Lure Agency, we are enamored by AI and how it will affect marketing for the hospitality industry, so we recently asked our team members, as well as a colleague, how they see artificial intelligence changing the digital landscape for our industry. Here is what they had to say.

Commencement season is in full bloom. And as graduates ramp up their job-seeking activities, employers are looking for new ways to stay relevant and attract top talent. In today's digital landscape, it can be difficult for companies to break through the noise and capture the attention of potential candidates while standing out from the competition. Chatbots offer an alternative way for potential candidates to engage with organizations on their own terms, through forums such as social media. According to a new survey by LivePerson, chatbots are gaining popularity globally; 38 percent of 5,000 people surveyed from six countries had a positive perception of the technology.

WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 20: President-elect Donald Trump (2ndR),and his wife Melania Trump (2ndL), are greeted by President Barack Obama and his wife first lady Michelle Obama, upon arriving at the White House on January 20, 2017 in Washington, DC. (Getty Images) President Trump takes office at a time of profound flux in the digital universe. Entire industries – from transportation to education, and everything in between – continue to be disrupted and remade by technological innovation. Automation is ascendant and threatens sustainable, meaningful job growth for humans (robots seem to be doing just fine). A few large companies – Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google – dominate a growing number of key industries and are intensely focused on commoditizing consumer data. At the same time, a small portion of the country still can't access a wired high-speed Internet connection, and millions of Americans who can access one lack the skills needed to use it productively.
