Emerging technologies such as AI, ML and IoT have been driving the technology market as well as the geospatial industry strongly. These technologies have provided data processing and analysis on fingertips of the people. For instance, mapping out an area earlier used to be a challenge and required a great deal of effort – from surveying and fetching the data to various compliances and government permissions. Whereas now, one can just fly a drone and through AI and ML applications, an analytical dataset becomes instantly available. With the new geospatial policy in India, emerging technologies will get a boost and play a major role in creating applications that will transform the geospatial sector in entirety. Hence, these evolving technologies are revolutionizing the industry and there is a scope for many new opportunities in this industry.

Heart failure is a growing cardiovascular disease epidemic worldwide. Despite improvements in treating patients with heart failure, still many patients develop end-stage heart disease and require hospitalization, treatments with high complication rates and risk a premature death. Heart transplantation is the preferred treatment of end-stage heart failure, but there is a significant shortage of donor hearts. For this reason, researchers have been trying for decades to find an implantable mechanical pump that can take over the function of the human heart; a total artificial heart (TAH).1 Typically, a TAH is a rigid mechanical device that has two blood chambers and is actuated by a moving membrane that pushes out the blood. In 1969, the first TAH implantation in humans was performed by Denton Cooley (Texas Heart Institute, Houston, TX, USA).

A lonely single man sits down at his computer and meets the love of his life. It seems like a plausible scenario that could occur today. There's just one catch: the love of his life isn't a profile photo of a human on a dating website -- it's an artificially intelligent operating system that adopts a female-sounding voice and goes by the name "Samantha." Released in 2013, the sci-fi drama Her was ahead of its time in anticipating the lightning-fast advances in AI that are now starting to shape our everyday lives. But was its depiction of artificial intelligence scientifically accurate?

The newest technological trends in business are changing the way people think about technology. In the last few years, businesses have become more aware of the need for a greater understanding of the public to secure their future. As a result, technology has become more accessible and soon will be so useful and developed that it will be required to interact with customers, clients, and peers. The Internet of Things is a new way to interact with technology products, such as laptops, tablets, and phones. The Internet of Things allows people to have a more hands-on approach to technology, creating a way for people to use technology in every day life.

Muscat: A field visit for the Steering Committee team, in charge of supervising the zone designated for artificial intelligence (AI) at Duqm was organised by the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ). The steering committee includes representatives from several government entities, namely the Ministry of Defence, the Royal Oman Police (ROP), the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA). This came after the recent announcement of the OPAZ, allocating an area of 18 square kilometres of land to support and encourage the use of modern techniques, including AI experiments in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (Sezad). "The Authority is seeking to achieve several key objectives, most importantly, the localisation of investment opportunities in the field of artificial intelligence, drone experiments and future technology," Ahmed bin Saleh Al Farsi, Chairman of the Committee, said. "In addition to building basic infrastructure to apply e-government strategy and smart cities, the Authority will also be creating and implementing research opportunities in the zone under the supervision of the committee for practical and academic uses, and to overcome the challenges and difficulties facing the implementation of AI projects, drones and future technology in the zone," he added.

Advances in technology, robotics, genetic engineering, quantum computing will blur the boundaries ... [ ] between the digital, physical, and biological worlds, and usher in a whole new set of complex challenges for business leaders. Current smart technology has ushered in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a new era integrating communications with automating industrial practices and traditional manufacturing. Through this improved communication, smart devices make human intervention unnecessary as machines communicate, self-diagnose and solve problems. While these new products and services may increase efficiency, analysts say they should be as ethical as possible, given their impact on our lives. Advances in AI, the internet of things (IoT), 3-D printing, robotics, genetic engineering, quantum computing will blur the boundaries between the digital, physical, and biological worlds, and with them usher in a whole new set of complex challenges for business leaders to negotiate.

Healthcare is becoming both increasingly data driven and automated. Drawing on a largescale review of artificial intelligence developments in the field of mental health and wellbeing, Elizabeth Morrow, Teodor Zidaru-Bărbulescu and Rich Stockley, find that opportunities for patients to influence and inform these future technologies are often lacking, which in turn may heighten disillusionment and lack of trust in them. As such, they propose four priorities for new data driven technologies to ensure they are ethical, effective and equitable for diverse patient groups. As the pandemic has sadly made clear, health policymakers and practitioners often make rapid, complex, life and death decisions. It has also demonstrated the pivotal role of technology in aiding such decisions in infection control and vaccine development.

Combining humans with machines to create superhuman intelligence may soon no longer be the plot of science-fiction films, as the US Space Force's chief scientist say it will happen in'the coming decade.' Dr. Joel Mozer, speaking at an event at the Airforce Research Laboratory Wednesday, announced we are entering the age of'human augmentation,' which is crucial to the US's national defense in order to not'fall behind our strategic competitors.' However, his proposal does not turn humans into cyborgs, but employs'AI agents' to assist with strategic military planning. Mozer highlights the abilities seen in developed by a Google subsidiary, AlphaGo Zero, which was able to train itself to play the game of Go at a master level in just a few weeks. Mozer suggests the extortionary capabilities can lead to superhuman capabilities, by means of combining human ingenuity with the power, speed and efficiency of machines.
