We have all witnessed the growth of technology ever since the early 20th century. The semiconductor revolutionized the electronic industry and its been a race ever since to fabricate the most sophisticated semiconductors and chips that now are an integral part of life. The last 20 years in this century has seen a complete transformation and conversion of science fiction in the 20th century, to reality. Among this was the use of data – collecting points of observation of any attribute deemed useful. Data, when connected, formed useful information and insights. And insights resulted in actions or development of ‘models’ to address a set of insightful or purposeful outcomes.
Curiously, machines have always been designed in my opinion, to mimic human output and make them better or make it work at a massive scale. The human being remains the most complex and intelligent machine on earth. Reaching a level where certain senses and cognitive abilities are far outperformed by machines is the current level of intelligence. Artificial Intelligence or AI, came out of our quest of machines ‘learning’ what humans could do. The result is that a significant part of the planet is touched by AI and its applications. From our smartphones, to our daily quest for information on search engines or our banks, our offices, our homes our lives and very soon perhaps, sensors within our bodies and brains.
The new tech and advances of the fundamental parts that went into the semiconductor chips have evolved into the current state of tech, which has resulted in new empires being created. Once again, these technologies tend to shrink this world further and bring advances, never before imagined.
Konsultera is a speck in this entire empire today. But our thoughts are to be a firm and prominent citizen in this empire and evolve with the maturity that befits a ‘learning’ organization. This quest has led us to constantly creating our own insights and content. Our team of both experienced and young members, provide us with gems of new information each day. The dialogue will continue to lead us to populating this column over time.
See you soon!
