Building
on the industry shift toward SaaS, a new trend in the software space is
emerging that combines both SaaS and AI. Leading companies from Amazon, Google,
Microsoft, and IBM have begun offering their AI infrastructure as a service to
their clients. In other words, no longer is AI and machine learning accessible
to only to software giants, now any company and developer can access online AI
resources to build self-learning software (SLS).
At
home, this could mean having an SLS system manage your future smart home,
including tasks like pre-heating your home before you arrive or keeping track
of groceries you need to buy. By the 2020s and into the 2030s, these SLS
systems will play a vital role in the corporate, government, military, and
consumer markets, gradually helping each improve their productivity and reduce
waste of all kinds.
The
only way the SaaS and SLS models work is if the Internet (or the infrastructure
behind it) continues to grow and improve, alongside the computing and storage
hardware that runs the ‘cloud' these SaaS/SLS systems operate on. The coming
decade will see the next evolution, the next quantum leap in communication and
interconnectivity, entirely intermediated by a range of future computer
interfaces and it may just reshape what it means to be human.
