Let\u2019s dig in.<\/p>\n<h2>Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n<p>From an organizational perspective digital transformation is not just about upgrading technology.\u00a0 It&#8217;s about leveraging technology to build quantifiably better products and solutions. Although artificial intelligence has received a lot attention in the recent years, its impact on achieving those ideals is still in its early stages, but will continue to be among the top trends to watch. In 2019 and beyond, we\u2019ll see more adoption and integration of AI in business applications.<\/p>\n<p>If you are new here, artificial intelligence refers to computer systems designed to imitate human intelligence and perform tasks such as decision making, and recognition of speech, patterns and images. The beauty of it is that an AI can perform these tasks in a faster and more accurate manner than humans.<\/p>\n<p>Artificial intelligence is a part of what is broadly referred to as automation. \u00a0Automation has always caused a lot of apprehension among employees due to the fear of job loss. \u00a0According to experts, automation will render 73 million jobs obsolete by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Automation is, however, creating new jobs as it eliminates others. By 2030, AI will have created 23 million jobs in programming, development, support and maintenance and testing among many others. \u00a0One of the positions that will be created is that of an Artificial Intelligence Architect. Some even reason that this position will rival <a href=\"http:\/\/52.151.20.243\/?p=1310&amp;preview=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data scientist in the need for skilled tech professionals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"1k43i\" data-offset-key=\"f2mmg-0-0\">\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"f2mmg-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"f2mmg-0-0\">The Last ten years of IT have been about changing the way people work. The next ten years of IT will be about transforming [their] business.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"f2mmg-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"6m5ai-0-0\">Aaron Levie<\/span><span data-offset-key=\"6m5ai-0-1\"> | CEO of Box<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div data-offset-key=\"f2mmg-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Machine Learning<\/h2>\n<p>Another reason why the buzz around artificial intelligence is not about to die is because it has developed new branches such as machine learning.<\/p>\n<p>Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence in which computers are programmed to learn to do things that they are not programmed to do. \u00a0The computers use data to discover patterns and insights and use them to learn. Learning happens in two major ways: supervised and unsupervised learning.<\/p>\n<p>Machine learning also has divisions of its own. \u00a0They include natural language processing (NLP), neutral networks, and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deep_learning\">deep learning<\/a>. All of these subsets offer you an exciting opportunity to specialize in a career field that is indispensable in a digital world.<\/p>\n<p>Already, there\u2019s a high demand for <a href=\"https:\/\/skillup.online\/courses\/course-v1:Microsoft+DAT228x+2018_T2\/about\">professionals with skills in machine learning<\/a> and its subsets brought about by the rapid deployment of the technology in different kinds of industries. It is estimated that by 2022, the machine learning market will have grown to 8.81 billion dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Machine leaning applications are used for data mining, data analytics and pattern recognition. \u00a0It also powers web search results, network intrusion detection, and real time ads. These are just a few of the many tasks that machine learning is capable of doing.<\/p>\n<p>Besides taking over tasks we would otherwise have to do ourselves, machine learning also creates new jobs. \u00a0In fact, jobs related to machine learning rank among the top emerging jobs on LinkedIn, with more than 2,000 job listings posted. The jobs pay well too! The median salary for a machine learning engineer in 2017 was $106,225. Some of the top machine leaning jobs include engineers, developers, researchers and data scientists.<\/p>\n<h2>Robotic Process Automation (RPA)<\/h2>\n<p>Here is another technology that is automating jobs. Robotic Process Automation is concerned with automating business processes such as replying to emails, dealing with data, processing transactions and interpreting applications. \u00a0RPA automates the repetitive tasks that have previously been done by humans. \u00a0The tasks automated by RPA are not limited to menial tasks done by blue-collar workers: 45% of the tasks we do including those done by doctors, financial managers and CEO\u2019s can be automated.<\/p>\n<p>Although RPA will threaten the livelihood of 9% of the global workforce, it is also altering existing jobs while at the same time creating new ones. According to findings by McKinsey, only about 5% of occupations can be completely automated but about 60% of jobs can be partially automated.<\/p>\n<p>As an IT professional who is trying to understand IT trends that will change things in the near future, RPA presents <a href=\"http:\/\/52.151.20.243\/the-top-10-it-career-paths-for-the-next-decade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a variety of career opportunities<\/a> including business analyst, developer, solution architect, project manager, and consultant.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4354 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sko-blog-prod.westus3.cloudapp.azure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BodyImage1C_landscape-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/BodyImage1C_landscape-1.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/BodyImage1C_landscape-1-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/BodyImage1C_landscape-1-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/BodyImage1C_landscape-1-768x438.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Blockchain<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from being the technology that powers cryptocurrency, blockchain offers security that can be useful in many other ways. \u00a0Blockchain is simply data that you can only add to without subtracting from it or altering it in any way. The immutability of blockchain is what makes it so secure. What is more, blockchains are consensus driven, so no one person or organization can control the data contained in a blockchain. It also eliminates the need for third parties and other intermediaries.<\/p>\n<p>This increased security is what makes Blockchain suitable for cryptocurrency and why it can play a vital role in the protection of information such as personal medical data. Blockchain is also being used to improve the global supply chain and protect assets such as real estate and art.<\/p>\n<p>As far as blockchain based jobs are concerned, we are already lagging behind. <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2018\/02\/14\/blockchain-engineers-are-in-demand\/\">According to TechCrunch, every blockchain developer brings about 14 job openings.<\/a> This makes blockchain related jobs the second fastest growing category of jobs. \u00a0A blockchain developer focuses on using Blockchain to create and implement infrastructure and solutions. An average blockchain developer makes about $130,000 or more per annum.<\/p>\n<p>Other blockchain related careers include software engineers, project managers, and consultants. Jobs are available at financial institutions and also in healthcare and manufacturing.<\/p>\n<h2>Cyber Security<\/h2>\n<p>Cyber security has been around for a while now, so it might not seem as an emerging technology. However, since cyber security threats are constantly new, cyber security has to keep evolving to deal with hackers who are trying to gain illegal access to data.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why cyber security has to keep evolving is because new technology is constantly being adopted to enhance security. Some of these advancements include cloud technology, hardware authentication, deep learning, data loss prevention and behavioral analytics. Cyber security will remain to be an emerging technology as long as hackers continue to exist because it will have to keep evolving to defend against these hackers.<\/p>\n<p>There is a strong need for cybersecurity professionals. The number of cybersecurity jobs is growing three times faster than other tech jobs. \u00a0There is however a shortage of tech professionals to fill these positions. Consequently, by 2021, we will have 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Lucrative opportunities you can be on the lookout for here include; security engineer, ethical hacker and chief security officer. Most of these positions pay six-figure salaries.<\/p>\n<h2>Internet of Things<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/internetofthingsagenda.techtarget.com\/definition\/Internet-of-Things-IoT\">Internet of things is the future<\/a>. \u00a0\u2018Things\u2019 are now being built with Wi-Fi connectivity so they can connect to the internet and to each other, hence the \u2018Internet of Things\u2019. In 2017, the number of IoT devices reached 8.4 billion. We are however still in the beginning stages of IoT and by 2020, 8.4 billion devices will be connected through IoT.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers are already benefiting from the internet of things through various smart devices such as doors that can be locked remotely. \u00a0Businesses can also reap numerous benefits from IoT. It can be used to enhance security, safety and the decision- making process in business. What is more, IoT can be applied in preventive maintenance, improving customer service and speeding up medical care.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this windfall in the adoption of IoT, not enough <a href=\"https:\/\/skillup.online\/courses\/course-v1:Microsoft+AZ-201.3+2018_T3\/about\">IT professionals are being groomed for the 200,000 positions that will be required in this sector.<\/a> The major obstacle to growth in this industry seems to be lack of adequate skills.<\/p>\n<p>This presents an opportunity for easy entry into the field if you are a highly motivated tech professional. Crucial skills you can work on for a career in IoT include cloud computing, security, automation, data analytics, understanding of embedded systems, device knowledge among others.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Word<\/h2>\n<p>Digital transformation is real \u2013 and it will continue to influence how we work and interact far beyond the year ahead. The other thing we know for sure is that the emerging technologies will create promising career opportunities for IT professionals. \u00a0We hope this post serves as a compass of sorts that will open new doors within your chosen field and others.<\/p>\n<p>What say you? \u00a0Share your thoughts in the comment section below.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Digital Transformation?
