The guest speaker said that opportunities in emerging fields like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain. We can access free or affordable development tools, cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure), and open-source platforms. The focus is on Technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to streamline repetitive tasks, enabling businesses to focus on innovation and strategic growth. Then, the use of Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning provides actionable insights by processing large datasets, allowing organisations to make informed, real-time decisions. The inevitable AI-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, and personalised recommendations improve customer engagement and satisfaction. Blockchain ensures secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions, which is critical in industries like finance, supply chain, and healthcare. Cloud Computing provides scalable infrastructure, allowing businesses to adapt to changing demands and innovate without significant upfront investments.
