Emerging Technologies

by
UPDATED MAY 2020 - This blog will appear monthly from now on. Today, all organizations depend on technological innovation in order to sustain their existence. Analysis of emerging technologies and identification of those technologies with the greatest potential is essential to being prepared for upcoming projects. The objective of this blog is to establish future oriented technology analysis and insights. This blog was established to provide program and project managers with information about these emerging technologies. These emerging technologies have far reaching repercussions for program and project managers. This blog will jump-start the learning process and allow program and project managers to become proactive.

Our Technology Infused Lives

linkedin twitter facebook Request to reuse this  

Each and every day as of late, new and innovative use cases for emerging technologies are being developed by the innovative creators of the connected world of tomorrow. They are inventing the products and services that will have an impact on nearly every aspect of our daily lives.  With that said, properly leveraging emerging technologies is becoming just what is needed to achieve the success we seek and desire. Whether it is in our home and personal lives or the business and work environments that we spend an increasing percentage of our lives, we are continuously interacting with digital technology.

Whether at home, work or somewhere in between, the way we are engaging with each other has significantly change. This is also true in the way we engage our systems and pieces of emerging technologies like with Smart Homes, Smart Buildings, Smart Highways, Smart Vehicles and we should not forget intelligent systems that are currently in place today and smarter ones coming in the near-term. The digital/connected aspects of our lives have become so intertwined with what we had experienced in the past and with what had come to be known as the norm, has led many to now believe it is essential to keep up with emerging technologies and isolate one's self from time to time, just kicking back.

One of the more rapidly growing issues that has begun to face and increasing number of professionals is the digital change (both plus and minus) in the technological sophistication and digital interaction as they move from job to job.  It is unclear what is more challenging, moving from a technologically advanced organization to one that is technologically challenged or vice versa. Perhaps that is something we all had better consider when we think about changing jobs from now on.

CONCERNING - Proposed giving robots ‘personhood’ NOT A JOKE

Categories: Robots, Impact, Society

In 2017, the European Parliament proposed creating a specific legal status for robots. If enacted, the law would apply to ‘smart robots.’  The proposal, if adopted would likely give smart robots (based on early discussions/submissions) sophisticated fully autonomous robots with embedded artificial intelligence and advanced sensory capabilities a special status of what has been deemed ‘electronic persons.’  This would potentially apply to the robot’s ‘electronic personality’ in situations where robots make autonomous decisions and or otherwise interact with third parties independently.

One benefit, this would require robots (owners/designers/manufactures) responsible for all damages and for ‘making good any of those damage associated with the robot and its actions. 

Concerns are growing rapidly.  Hundreds of scientists, engineers, and technology strategists have expressed deep concerns.  In fact, about 150 signed a letter and submitted it to the EU law makers.  All in all, this is a very dangerous slope and the technology and society is not ready, nor prepared, for this currently or in the next few years!
