Proponents of 5G say it will offer ultra-fast connections, speedier data downloads, and be able to handle millions more connections than 4G mobile networks can cope with today. One use for 5G is self-driving cars, but will they really need it? The telecoms industry envisions autonomous cars equipped with hundreds of sensors collecting and receiving information all at once over a network. It calls this concept "Vehicle-to-everything" (V2X). To achieve this, the car needs to detect blind spots and avoid collisions with people, animals or other vehicles on the road.

Research firm Gartner said 2.3 million new jobs will be created by 2020 by AI. By 2022, 1 in 5 workers will rely on AI to do their job. Instead of replacing these professionals, AI will assist them. AI augmentation will generate $2.9 trillion in business value in 2021. Research firm Gartner said more jobs will be created than lost.
