Technological issues are increasing with evolving tech trends

2019 has observed a massive technological boom in Artificial Intelligence. Tech companies have observed numerous issues and have provided solutions for those issues accordingly.

Techlash is a terminology used by the technology companies mentioning the issues faced by organizations pertaining to all sorts of technological issues. The tech giants are working hand in hand to resort to solutions that can solve these problems and provide remedial solutions that are sustainable.

Some of the technological issues that have been observed in 2019 are the following:

1.      Privacy Protection

Privacy is the utmost priority and hence it requires protection. In 2019 global Protection Regulation and Consumer Privacy Acts that apply globally have been regulated against the misuse and privacy-related concerns of data.  All these efforts have been made to protect the privacy of customer and employee data. These regulations operate with the sole motive of ensuring that all organizations are required to take consent from people before attaining their information and shall use the collected information responsibly. The consent must disclose all possible usage of the information by the organization providing complete transparency for the customers whose data is being collected. Technology-based companies across the globe are now focusing on privacy-related innovative practices that can secure the information of the customers along with the compiled data.  

2.      Misinformation from Social Media

Social Media is a transparent and open platform for everyone that requires people to express their views without any fabrication. The information available on social media has no credibility and resource tracking system as anyone can publish anything based on their individual experiences. False information can easily be spread on social media without any checks and balances that cannot be filtered or distinguished. Rules developed and protection mechanism is required to be considered for making any information available on social media. There should be a criterion for ensuring that the information is correct and should mention some regulations for the users. Social media platforms have started incorporating these regulations for identifying fake IDs. They have devised mechanisms through which the origin of a post can be identified and some disturbing content can be blocked.

3.      Technology Protection and its Implication on Countries

Different Countries have identified the challenges associated with evolving and advancing technological development. The main consideration is based on the fact that AI development and its related security implications can impact on the security at a national level. Different countries have restricted the use of international technologies and have also restricted the acquisition of their AI startups by organizations originating from foreign countries.  

4.      Digital Diplomacy

Increasing cyber-attacks on a national level is a matter of concern that is being resolved by the tech giants. Cyber-attacks can be sponsored by countries against their rival nations impacting on their mere sovereignty. The aims of these attacks are theft of data which can procure information posing a threat to the entire IT infrastructure of competitor nations. The cybersecurity sector is working progressively towards producing innovative technologies that ensure cybersecurity protection from different aspects. Progressive development has been made in hardware security, starting from the chip level which will be extended to the protection of information on the cloud. Tech companies across the globe have joined hands and come to a consensus for forming a Charter of Trust that aims at protecting the devices that makeup computing easier.

5.      Ethical Concerns with AI Development

With the development of AI, products like facial recognition and support for the military has raised questions on the ethical issues associated with AI development. AI researchers are focused and determined to strengthen the ethical side of AI development. Some of the AI solutions are considered to be violating the privacy and basic human rights of common people. New laws are being developed for protecting human rights concerns and issues.

6.      Effect of AI on Economies

The major concern people have from development in AI is the evolution of the job sector. It is a common belief that AI will eliminate more jobs compared to job creation. This shows details and concerns about job titles that tend to be eliminated from AI.

7.      Diversity of People and Concern in the Technology world

Technology-based organizations always prefer the diversity of people because it helps in the expansion of technology products into a larger customer segment. Diversity has also proven to be the most effective tool for innovation.

8.      Countryside Broadband Accessibility

Accessibility of internet service in the countryside of different countries is still an issue. The Internet has become a necessity of the modern world. It creates different jobs and business openings for the people. Efforts are being made to resolve this problem but it cannot be solved individually. The governments require to put in a combined effort and massive investment for resolving this issue.

9.      Protection of Human rights in the Data-Driven World- Cloud

Cloud Computing is a revolution in the Technology world. Cloud Computing has solved many problems like storage and processing data. People have shifted their information to the cloud and have formed data centers for this purpose through which information and data are handled efficiently. The analysts and researchers are working on a long term plan to migrate the entire public data on the cloud and form a data center for a country. Organizations and public sectors have concern for the protection and security of data that is stored in these data centers. It also raises the issue of the level of information that would be stored in these data centers, its usage and accessibility that is required to be resolved.

10. Technological Growth and its Impact on Community

Technological growth does not promise a good impact on the community. The general perception of technological growth is positive that it is expected to create jobs and establish new dynamics for the economy. It is believed regardless of all the positivity of technological growth that it is also creating problems in different sectors like the infrastructure of Schools, Transportation, etc. that are presumed to be solved using technology development.
