Artificial Intelligence Revolution in Mobile App Landscape: Unpacking the Serious Shift
In the world of mobile technology, we have come a long way since the first generation iPhone was released in 2007. Today, smartphones are not just devices for making calls and sending texts; they have evolved into pocket-sized computers that can stream videos, play music, control home heating, book taxis, and much more.
This evolution is largely due to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI may not yet equate to sentient robotic beings as depicted in Hollywood movies, it has certainly pushed the smartphone market to the frontier of cutting-edge technology.
The rise of AI in mobile apps has brought about an increased convenience and personalization for consumers. Apps like Tempo, which aim to simplify users' lives by combining information across various platforms, are now possible due to the volume of available data. This data is mined through AI, providing valuable resources for companies and their marketing strategies, as well as fueling the growth of the AI industry, which was estimated to be worth over €27 billion by the end of 2015.
The widespread use of AI in apps has not translated into a strong desire for privacy among consumers. Greater levels of access to data through systems like Facebook Open Graph exist, raising concerns about data security and privacy.
The AI industry is not just creating new opportunities for businesses, but also for IT professionals. New jobs in the field of AI are being created, some of which don't even have titles yet. David Di Domenico, MD of IQ Analytics, stated that it is an exciting time for niche IT recruitment.
In IT, new jobs are being created as a result of Intelligent Process Automation (IPA). The wide availability and affordability of data storage and computation in cloud servers have provided opportunities for start-up companies. This has led to the creation of new AI-related job positions in recent years, such as AI ethicist, machine learning ops engineer, and AI interaction designer, by companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Tesla.
Contrary to fears of mass unemployment due to the rise of AI, the potential for AI to create new jobs in the IT sector contradicts these concerns. The technology requires specialist skills to operate, leading to an exciting time for niche IT recruitment.
In conclusion, the integration of AI in mobile technology has revolutionized the way we use our smartphones, making them more convenient and personalized. While concerns about data security and privacy persist, the rise of AI has also opened up new opportunities for businesses and IT professionals alike, pushing the smartphone market into the realms of futurology.
