Climate change& AI : Climate change is a critical global issue that demands innovative and scalable solutions. As we strive to understand and mitigate its impacts, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changing tool in the fight against climate change. This talk delves into how AI is being used to tackle climate challenges through enhanced data analysis, predictive modeling, and optimization techniques. From improving climate predictions and tracking carbon emissions to optimizing renewable energy systems and advancing climate-smart agriculture, AI is helping to drive more effective, data-driven strategies for climate adaptation and mitigation. By exploring successful case studies and cutting-edge research, this session will highlight the potential of AI to support sustainable development goals and address the complex dynamics of climate change. It aims to inspire stakeholders to harness AI for creating a resilient, low-carbon future.
Security Challenging with IoT: Internet of Things (IoT) is a pervasive technology and they play an important role in Ubiquitous Computing. Numerous application areas such as consumer electronics, automotive industry, agriculture, healthcare, smart cities, communication, industrial control systems and many more, make extensive use of IoT. According to a survey, it is projected that by 2030, 50 billion devices would be in use globally. It is estimated that 152200 Internet of Things (IoT) devices would be connected per minute by 2025. As IoT devices proliferate, a significant number of security risks are anticipated to attack IoT enabled infrastructure. Vulnerabilities in IoT devices are exploited by malware and large scale attacks are launched. The operation of the endpoints and networks may be seriously impacted if the IoT device is compromised and malicious behavior is introduced. We are already witnessing them through Mirai and other attacks.
Innovation in sensor technology: The rapid advancement in sensor technology is fundamentally transforming diverse fields, from healthcare and environmental monitoring to autonomous systems and smart cities. Let us explore the groundbreaking advancements that are shaping the next generation of sensor technologies. By analysing current trends and future directions, this provides a comprehensive overview of how sensor technology is poised to drive significant changes across various domains, offering insights into its potential to revolutionize industries and improve quality of life. Furthermore, the integration of sensors with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things is expected to enhance their capabilities and applications. This evolution not only promises to boost operational efficiency but also to address complex global challenges, paving the way for innovative solutions and new opportunities.
Innovation and emerging Technology: The world today is in dire need for new models of leadership and economic progress. The past was driven by might and linear thinking. This will not serve in a VUCAH or FTP world, where complexity and chaos are the norm. The 21st century requires greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace, leadership and decision making. We need to innovate to build a better and sustainable tomorrow. This will be possible with a focus on building the new workforce with a different skill set. Skills and not jobs are what will drive the 21st Century. And emerging technologies are making old jobs redundant. This talk will highlight the nexus between Innovation, Emerging Technologies and Skilling to thrive in the new world.
Recent Trend in emerging technology: In today's rapidly evolving world, innovation and emerging technologies play a pivotal role in shaping the future across diverse industries. This talk delves into the transformative potential of key technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, 5G, and renewable energy solutions. By exploring the convergence of these technologies, we highlight how they are driving efficiency, sustainability, and new business models. The discussion will focus on how innovation can address global challenges, foster sustainable development, and create opportunities for growth in a technology-driven economy. Attendees will gain insights into the latest trends, practical applications, and strategies to leverage these technologies for a competitive edge, ultimately fostering a culture of continuous innovation.
