AIs be covered by human rights legislation? And what will the term “human rights” even mean when humans have transformed themselves into something entirely new?

      How to Prepare for This Trend

      Finding practical takeaways and action points can be tough when you’re talking about heavy stuff like the very fabric of what makes us human! But there are practical steps your organization can take to benefit from what’s happening in wearable technology right now.

      Therefore, if your company manufactures wearable products or devices, consider whether it’s possible to make those products smarter and deliver more value to your customers through intelligent insights. And from a service point of view, consider whether the wearables trend could help you offer more intelligent services. The insurance industry provides a great example of this, where customers with health or life insurance policies are rewarded for leading healthier, more active lives, by tracking their activity data through a smart watch or fitness tracker.

      The One-Sentence Definition

      In very simple terms, “big data” refers to the exponential explosion in the amount of data being generated in this increasingly digital age, while “augmented analytics” refers to the ability to automatically work with and generate insights from data.

      What Is Big Data and Augmented Analytics?

      Let’s start with the data itself, because data is critical to so many of the trends in this book, including artificial intelligence (AI, Trend 1), the Internet of Things (IoT, Trend 2), natural language processing (Trend 10), and facial recognition (Trend 12). Without data, the massive leaps we’ve seen in these trends – and many other technology trends – wouldn’t be possible.
