Topic:

Emerging Technologies
Emerging technologies are the new, innovative and rapidly developing
technologies that are not fully matured yet but have potential to greatly
impact industries, society and the global economy in the next few years.

Types:
1. Artificial intelligence and Machine learning
2. Biotechnology and genetic engineering
3. Nanotechnology
4. Robotics and Autonomous systems
5. Internet of things
6. Blockchain technology
7. Green/renewable technology
8. Cybersecurity innovations

Examples: -
 Artificial intelligence (AI)
Ai enables computers to learn and make decisions like
humans. Used in chatbots, medical diagnosis, and studies etc.
 Internet of Things
IoT connects devices (like smartwatches, sensors, home
appliances) to exchange the data and automate the tasks.
 Blockchain technology
Blockchain technology is used for cryptocurrencies security
purposes. The information is stored in blocks and then
connected to information from these blocks.
 Biotechnology (CRISPR-CAS 9)
Biotechnology helps to modify genes or create medical treatments.
CRISPR can fix faulty genes and help to treat genetic diseases.
 Nanotechnology
Involves working with materials at extremely small scales. Used in
medical, electronics and improved solar energy.
 Robotics and Automation Systems
Robots and drones are used in the hospitals, industries, agriculture
and even in surgeries e.g. Tomai
