​What is Emerging Technologies?

​What is AI?

•Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Examples of AI applications include expert systems, natural language processing (NLP), speech recognition and machine vision. ("guide to artificial intelligence in the enterprise," n.d.) 

•Pros: Tailored education experiences

•Cons: Biased algorithms, inappropriate content risks

​5G Technology – Fifth generation of Mobile Network

•5G refers to the fifth generation of mobile network technology. It is designed to significantly improve upon previous generations of mobile networks (such as 4G LTE) in terms of speed, capacity, latency, and connectivity. It is vital to the forward movement of education as it is Faster and more reliable online learning experience ("Co-creating innovative solutions to education challenges," 2023

•Pros: Faster data speeds, improved connectivity
•Cons: Limited availability, health concerns 

What is Quantum Computing?

•Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information more efficiently than classical computers. Potential applications include cryptography, material science, and complex system modeling. (Nielsen, & Chuang, 2010).

•Pros: Fast computations

•Cons: Still in infancy, expensive

Emerging technologies

In our next class, we will delve into the fascinating world of emerging technologies.

These are innovations that are currently developing or expected to be developed over the next five to ten years, significantly impacting both business and social environments.

Specifically, we will focus on three major emerging technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G technology, and Quantum Computing.

​Next Class

These topics will not only provide a foundational understanding of these technologies but also foster critical thinking about their implications and future developments.
