The Ultimate Secret of Machine Learning Is The Big One': Deloitte Expert Looks To The Future Of Tech Trends
"Machine learning is the big one," Duncan Stewart,
the director of technology, media, and telecommunications research at Deloitte
Canada, told CNBC.
The dominant tech trend in places like Southeast Asia will
not be artificial intelligence as a whole, but rather it will be the more
specific AI field of machine learning, according to a researcher from Deloitte.
"Machine learning is the big one, not AI. AI's a very
broad field, we are talking about the very narrow field of machine
learning," Duncan Stewart, the director of technology, media, and
telecommunications research at Deloitte Canada, told CNBC.
Deloitte predicts that the next 12 months will see
significant progress in augmented reality, mobile device usage, and
increasingly sophisticated chips. But the most dominant trend will be machine
learning — when programs predict or explain using large amounts of data without
being explicitly programmed — according to Stewart.
In fact, big companies like Amazon and Netflix use machine
learning all the time to analyze and improve user experiences, predicting what
their next purchase or binge viewing may be. Stewart, however, added that it's
not just major tech firms employing machine learning: "I am seeing large
companies do more and more with machine learning in their own data centers —
this isn't just Google, Amazon and Microsoft, the big cloud guys — this is Southeast
Asia companies making investments in new chips to accelerate machine
learning."
While consumer products like Google Home and Amazon Alexa
have long used machine learning as a buzzword, enterprise applications such as
voice recognition, natural language processing and fraud detection are picking
up, according to Stewart.
A large part of that push comes from significant
improvements in computer hardware.
"The hardware is about a million times better over the
last two years. That means Deloitte is predicting that the enterprise — the
business use of machine learning — will double in 2018 compared to the year
before; it will double again by 2020. Now that's exponential growth in a market
that's already worth tens of billions of dollars in size."
