It is evident that the recent COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the advancement of AI technology. This is reflected in the 5 AI technology trends that will respond to the lifestyles of people around the world in various dimensions in the future:
1. AI and Healthcare integrates technology with medical science, facilitating patient access to treatment, especially during pandemics when hospital visits are not possible. AI is being utilized from disease diagnosis by analyzing patient history, lab results, or patient conversations. Recently, AI has been developed to simulate the 3D structure of the SARS-CoV2 protein to advance treatments for emerging diseases like COVID-19, as well as to assess risks for treatment planning (Decision Making), drug development, and research.
2. AI and Cloud Computing During COVID-19, many businesses had to Work from Home (WFH), making Cloud Computing a vital tool for operations due to its ability to connect data warehouses and various software over the internet, allowing everyone to access information and collaborate from anywhere. The rapid increase in usage has led to an expansion of data storage systems, necessitating AI to enhance the processing efficiency of Cloud Computing systems for faster and more accurate operations. 3. AI Cybersecurity Cyber threats, particularly virus attacks or data breaches for ransom, pose significant risks to businesses, endangering assets and user privacy, especially in the digital age where financial transactions, business communications, and daily life predominantly occur online. AI technology will assist in analyzing and detecting malware (Malware Detection) hidden in regular files to attack target systems, checking for phishing emails, and preventing data theft. 4. Face Recognition In an era of insecurity due to economic crises and pandemics, people are increasingly seeking safety for their lives and property. AI technology addresses these issues through face detection to verify identities during transactions with financial institutions, prevent impersonation, and screen access to locations from suspicious individuals or those deemed untrustworthy. 5. License Plate Recognition (LPR) utilizes CCTV cameras to accurately screen individuals entering and exiting buildings and residences to prevent crime. It also facilitates access when connected to Security Gate systems, allowing for touchless (Touchless) automatic door opening for scheduled visitors.
Sky ICT has continuously specialized in smart security technology, such as CCTV systems that centralize image signals from all CCTV systems to work together, processing with AI technology for both face recognition and automatic license plate reading (LPR). A Security Operation Center monitors and coordinates to ensure the highest level of safety. The company is also developing a digital platform for Smart Security to address safety needs and enhance the quality of life for people.
“The world will never be the same again. Every industry must adapt to move towards a new point. As a technology innovator, Sky ICT must be ready to embrace change, unlocking every challenge in the digital world and transforming into a Tech Company to strengthen the organization. We are committed to collaborating with expert partners and preparing to launch a new platform utilizing AI technology to create a better future for the world soon,” Kayal emphasized.
