Gartner recently released their much anticipated list of IT strategic predictions for 2019. There are a few trends that stand out.
In 2019, efforts will continue to adopt AI, but this will be a rocky road because of skills shortages. Although it may begin to improve by year's end. Also, AI will likely enter into emergency care of chronic patients through powerful AI screening techniques. Thus freeing up emergency rooms for true emergencies.
Privacy will continue to be under attack on several fronts. Increased use of facial recognition technologies will mean that roadside cameras and mobile phones will be able to identify people easily. Think about that. However, Gartner anticipates that public security monitoring will increase without opposition because of fears about public shootings. Also, privacy in social media will continue to be a problem which will remain unabated because people will continue to use social media.
Also in the privacy domain, blockchain has serious loopholes (particularly because it contains text fields that may not be encrypted), which will lead to more privacy issues as blockchain gains more adoptions.
There are other interesting insights or 2019 and beyond. Read the full list here.
