Impact of emerging technologies
Technology changes rapidly and computers are becoming ever more
powerful and capable of processing even more commands each
second.
New developments are creating more and more benefits but also
more problems in the ways that they impact people and society.
These emerging technologies include artificial intelligence and
extended reality (virtual reality and augmented reality).
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence covers a range of technologies as it can be
applied in different fields, but the one that most people recognise is
in the development of robotics.
Artificial intelligence is the ability of a digital computer or
computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated
with human intelligence such as learning, problem solving and
pattern recognition.
Industrial robots do the same thing over and over again, efficiently
and well.
They follow a fixed program and cannot themselves learn how to do
another task unless a human reprograms them.
Cont. …
Using artificial intelligence, a computer or robot can modify its own
behaviour in order to achieve other outcomes.
They can learn new things without having their programs rewritten
by a human.
This is known as machine learning.
Using machine learning, a computer can learn by being given lots of
examples.
As a simple example, a computer could teach itself how to recognise an
animal such as a sheep.
It would be shown millions of images of sheep in different
environments and locations.
Examples of AI include
Making a patient diagnosis based on their symptoms and
their medical history.
Analysing test results
A computer can recognize medical markers indicating
abnormalities far more accurately than a human after
being given millions of scans.
They are not programmed what to look for, they learn
themselves through trial and error
Examples of AI include
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are allowing machines to
become fully autonomous
 They can make their own decisions without human involvement
or guidance.
Autonomous machines – the most prominent examples are
driverless cars
Extended Reality (XR)
Extended reality is called an ‘immersive technology’ because it
immerses users in a virtual or a combined virtual and real
environment.
It includes virtual reality and augmented reality along with other
emerging technologies.

 Therefore, Extended Reality: a virtual or a combined virtual and


real environment
Virtual Reality
Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment, sometimes called a virtual

world, where a person can immerse themselves and interact to perform a wide variety of

actions.

It is often associated with gaming but it can also have other, more serious purposes.

There are many ways in which VR affects our everyday lives.

Therefore, virtual reality: a computer-generated environment

Computer-generated environment: the use of software to create 3D images of scenery,

buildings, etc. in which objects can move


Examples of VR in everyday life are
You can take a virtual walkthrough of a museum; a virtual model of a new
house being designed or the inside of a new car.
Car manufacturers can use VR to create prototypes of a new vehicle so that it
can be tested and altered before being developed.
Astronauts, pilots or medical students, for example, can use VR for training
before going into difficult situations. Surgeons can also carry out surgery
remotely in a VR environment by using robotic devices which mimic their
movements
Augmented reality
Augmented reality allows a user to interact with the real and a
virtual world at the same time.
Augmented Reality: a combined virtual and real environment
Advantages of Augmented Reality
AR can save money for businesses by minimizing the number of items
that are returned from customers.
The Ikea Place app allows you to place furniture in your room and view the
effects on your smartphone.
Customers can try out different paint colours on the walls of their
rooms by using a smartphone app.
Augmented reality allows architects, builders and developers and
clients to visualise what a proposed design would look like in a space
and existing conditions before any construction begins.
