Artificial Intelligence Key Trends for 2021 in UAE

The COVID-19 Pandemic had struck the world in 2020 and caused a huge disruption around the globe. But before the pandemic had hit the world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) was already causing huge changes to occur in a lot of industries. It is a fact that the pandemic has caused almost all aspects of global businesses to change and has impacted our lives a lot. AI is playing an important role in the fight against coronavirus and is helping systems all over the world to regain their momentum and work in new ways. May it be self-teaching algorithms or smart machines, all sorts of different AI technologies are helping people to reduce the impact of the pandemic on their lives. When people needed the technology to help them during the initial phase of pandemic lockdown, AI provided help in different ways such as improving medical support, assisting in protection against virus, assisting in preventive measures, helping in business management, etc. AI is undoubtedly a key technology that has helped us during the time of pandemic by supporting us in different ways possible. And it is quite a fact that it will also change the way how we live, work, and play in the upcoming future. Therefore, it is a clear thought that we can expect a few AI key trends to rise in the coming year. Let us look at some of the main trends that will surely be on the rise in 2021 in the UAE.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

The year 2020 has been a great year for Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology as there has been the introduction of some great additions to the domain such as the GPT-3 that currently stands as the most advanced language model in the world of NLP. It is because major developments in the NLP require less training data. Apart from these deep learning NLP models, this technology also has the potential in very accurate text analysis, sentiment analysis, conversational AI, etc., and many other domains. NLP in the coming time will yield more efficient collaboration of supervised and unsupervised learning making algorithms capable of better understanding and ability to determine symbiotic relationships in the text. Advancements will also allow NLP models to be trained using reinforced learning models enabling faster and more efficient training of NLP algorithms. Apart from that, the year 2021 holds many other opportunities for NLP technology such as Accurate classification of deep learning and tracking/monitoring of market intelligence too. Among all these upcoming trends, some other opportunities for NLP in the future are:

• Fine Tuning of models
• Increasing customer engagement through customized product recommendations
• Featuring intelligent semantic search
• Improving the intelligent capabilities of cognitive-communication
• Improvement in the development of Chatbots and Virtual Assistants
• Featuring Sentiment analysis for Social Media

These all are the major trends linked with the development of NLP technology in the year 2021 in the UAE as well as globally.

Computer Vision

Through recent decades, the ability of artificially intelligent systems to see as a human has been a subject of major concern and interest. Imitating the visual framework of humans, Computer Vision technology wishes to create machines that can do automated tasks requiring visual cognition. While talking about visual cognition, Computer Vision technology doesn’t limit the ability of Artificial Intelligence by just being able to interpret pictures, rather it focuses on the development of a system that can process multidimensional information. Concluding to the creation of AI systems having the ability to perceive more complicated visual information. CV can make the lives of people in different industries simple as well as more fascinating. Due to this, it has gathered a lot of attention in the present time and is sure to get much more in the coming year. The major fields of application in which CV technology includes its integration with edge computing allow the machines to be connected with the internet and the cloud resulting in better real-time response and transfer of large amounts of data across the internet. Emotional AI is another trend that is set to develop as it will utilize the CV technology to analyze facial properties resulting in the understanding of emotional responses of humans. This technology has attracted fair amounts of investment by large organizations and has the potential to grow in countries like the UAE. Other major Computer Vision Trends include:

• Development of Embedded Vision
• Upgradation of AR & VR, The Mixed Reality
• Computer Vision-as-a-Service CVaaS

In the coming years especially in 2021, just after the pandemic, Computer Vision technology is sure to impact the global markets due to its great potential. RRead more Artificial Intelligence and It’s Importance for Businesses

Deep Learning

Deep Learning and Machine Learning are well-known technological concepts that almost everyone knows about. Scientific studies have shown that a great portion of machines across different industries use machine learning. Presently, the ML industry is at a good pace of development and it is also providing the companies with sufficient room to grow and bring about the needed changes in themselves. In recent years, companies have started to understand the potential of deep learning technology and apply it to their businesses for accomplishing crucial tasks. Due to the rise in demand for this technology, development companies are needed to define new patterns of improvement in the functioning of the same. As a tech company, one needs to look into different trends in deep learning/machine learning technology in the upcoming years. Major trends involve hyper-automation that holds the ability to automate almost anything inside a company or an organization. Due to the pandemic, there has been an increased need for complete automation in the different industries leading to the increase in adoption of deep learning-driven technology. Another major trend includes its use in business forecasting and analysis. In the coming years and so on, it is expected from a majority of companies to integrate recurrent neural networks for high fidelity & accurate forecasting or the discovery of hidden patterns. Apart from this, other major deep learning trends include:

• Industrial Automation
• Integration of ML & IoT
• Development of Faster Computing Power
• Reinforcement Learning

With the rise in the development of a variety of technologies, it would be exciting to see what’s next in the future of deep learning. Read More Big Data and Data Governance – Importance and Benefits

Conclusion

The year 2020 has caused fast changes to occur in different consumer trends. Due to that, AI is set to see notable changes and will gain significant momentum in the upcoming time. It would be completely normal to see a lot of AI adoptions in our common and day to day life. It has established high hopes for transformational positive changes for social good and its rising effects will bring about unprecedented changes in different industries. AI would let the industries to use it ethically and drive into long-term phases of development. As it is said that change drives evolution, the changes that AI will bring will be huge and will impact the world in a great way in 2021 and beyond that.
