Future Automation: Changes To Lives And To Businesses

Autonomous systems are gradually taking over the execution of key processes that run our businesses and our lives. They are a combination of AI, analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This book describes the coming disruptions caused by autonomous systems (AS), which are unique blends of AI, analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Analytics is the key element that is still receiving scant attention as compared to the advances in AI and IoT. AS will transcend what machines currently do and will manifest in the coming years.

The world often overestimates the current fear of future risks. Autonomous systems are the future. One day, we will wake up to an event that will make it clear that the robots have taken over, but not in the way we always thought. Robots come in many forms. A self-driving car is a robot. A drone over Afghanistan is a robot. Siri is a robot, as are high-frequency trading systems. And Amazon's autonomous systems that manage their warehouses and logistics are collections of robots working together. In short, robots or autonomous systems are gradually taking over the execution of key processes that run our businesses and our lives. We define an autonomous system as an integration of three components: sensors or the Internet of Things that collect data; Big Data that stores and processes data; and artificial intelligence that takes information, makes decisions, and acts. On occasion, we add actuators, which are motors that move or control mechanisms or systems. Other words for an autonomous system with actuators are robot, driverless car, and unmanned drone. This book describes the upcoming disruptions caused by autonomous systems (AS), which are unique combinations of AI, analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). An example of an AS is a self-driving car. Analytics is the key element here that is still receiving little attention compared to the advances in AI and IoT. This book shows how the presence of AS will disrupt many industries and that analytics, created by IoT and other se, will play a pivotal role
