Artificial intelligence drives the digital transformation of companies



Robotics, the internet of things, virtual reality and 3D printers are the main causes of this change



  Robotics, the internet of things, virtual reality and 3D printers are technologies that will play an important role in the digital transformation of companies, but artificial intelligence will be key and will be present in 40% of these processes in Europe in the year 2020.

It is a prediction from the IDC consultancy, which held a conference on technological trends in Madrid this week and foresees that the human body will be the next destination for innovation: it can be glimpsed that between 2021 and 2026 the most pioneering users will begin to carry embedded technology in your own organism.

  In the shorter term, the digital transformation of companies will lead the technological change: "Technology by itself is not a panacea", but must be useful and provide value to the rest of the business in the "unstoppable" process of digital transformation of companies, explained the head of analysis of IDC Spain, Marta Muñoz.

By 2020, 40% of the business of European companies in the FT 500 index will depend on their being able to generate new digital products and services.

Although that process of change "is not optional", Muñoz has argued that the majority of technological managers of companies have the feeling of working to "put out fires" rather than to put their company at the forefront.

75% of technology managers of European companies admit that the technology they have today is not enough to achieve their goals of transformation and digitization.

At the base of that change, the analyst has exposed, the pillars must be mobility, big data, social media and cloud computing because "without them, the transition to more transgressive technologies is difficult to do".

Beyond the emergence of artificial intelligence, which will be present in 40% of European transformation processes and in 100% of internet projects of things, data management will be relevant for new businesses.

In Spain, in 2016, 16% of the corporations used data analytics - although only 2% of the data available are "powered" according to Muñoz - but that figure will grow by 36% in 2020.

The investment priorities of the technology departments for the next two years will focus on security, network optimization and cloud environments, Muñoz added.

Spanish companies, the analyst continued, have three limitations when it comes to launching disruptive technology projects: they are unaware of their existence, who the suppliers are and what steps they have to take to implement it.

The EU wants WhatsApp to tighten its privacy policy Although 92% of Europeans consider it important to maintain the confidentiality of their mail, the current directive only applies to traditional operators   The European Commission (EC) has proposed today a greater protection of privacy when using applications such as WhatsApp or Skype, which allow you to send messages or make voice calls, to equate it with the one that already applies to traditional telecommunications operators . "We want to build trust in the digital single market that people expect," said the EU's vice president for the Digital Single Market, Andrus Ansip, who presented the initiative at a press conference.   Up to 92% of Europeans consider it important to maintain the confidentiality of their mail or electronic messages, although the current privacy directive only applies to traditional operators, recalled the EC. Therefore, the Commission proposes that the privacy regulations also cover new provider...

Mini solar panels, the next challenge in medical devices The first tests have gotten energy to keep a pacemaker running   The skin can be a large solar panel that can power future medical electronic devices, according to the Annals of Biomedical Engineering. On January 3, this specialized publication showed a series of mini solar panels the size of a seal capable of transmitting electricity once implanted under the skin. The six-month investigation, which involved tests on more than 32 volunteers, revealed that these small devices are capable of generating power to operate pacemakers and other similar devices that require bulky batteries.   Participants who used the device for a week in the summer, fall and winter, while going about their daily routines. According to the data released by the researchers, the energy generated was an average of 5-10 microwatts higher than that required by a standard pacemaker. In the new study, sunlight and artificial light energize the panels, ...
