The most important tech trends of the future
1. The widespread utilization of AI
Currently, the AI reshapes the business market with the high speed. One of the good examples can be AI insurance.
Using AI in this market sector could help with:
- Making the risk assessment more accurate,
- Making the fraud detection easier,
- Faster service and decreasing the risk of errors
“We believe with technology and machine learning, a lot of [human underwriting] can be done away with, “The percentage of insurance applications that require human touch will go down dramatically, maybe 80% to 90%, and even to low single digits.”
Sofya Pogreb, COO at Next Insurance
2.Increased cyber-security measures
Due to the increase of the cyber-attacks in the last several years businesses will emphasize on improving their cyber-security systems.
“SMBs, like their large enterprise counterparts, will lock down on a comprehensive backup-and-disaster-recovery solution to keep protected, and also form new standardized blocking and tackling game plans to keep the business even more safe.”
Jim Lippie, CEO of SaaS Alerts
It’s important to note that many organizations lack sufficient cybersecurity talent, knowledge, and expertise —and the shortfall is growing. Broadly, cyber risk management has not kept pace with the proliferation of digital and analytics transformations, and many companies are not sure how to identify and manage digital risks.
3. Automation of business processes
Nowadays a lot of small business owners consider the automation opportunity to save money and solve the shortage of work force in certain areas.
“With continued shortages of workers within select domains, automation investments will continue to increase. Examples for small business include online pricing automation to balance profitability and revenue growth, as well as inventory management systems to ensure the perfect amount of inventory is on hand.”
Omri Traub, founder of Popcart
