Artificial Intelligence (AI)/ Machine Learning (ML)​
● AI is a method of making computers operate
in ways that simulate human intelligence. ​
● Organizations use AI to carry out specific
tasks without being explicitly programmed to
do so.​
● ML, often used synonymously with AI, is a
branch of AI that uses computer algorithms
to allow systems to automatically improve
over time. ​
● Organizations use both supervised and
unsupervised algorithms to identify patterns
in data.
BENEFITS
● Flexibility – Since hyper automation relies on
a multitude of automation technologies,
organizations can move past the limited
benefits of a single digital technology. This
helps organizations to achieve scale and
flexibility in operations.​
● Improved Employee Productivity – By
automating time consuming tasks,
employees are able to get more done with
less resources and serve more valuable roles
in organizations.​
● Integration – With hyper automation,
organizations can integrate digital
technologies across their processes and
legacy systems. Stakeholders have better
access to data and can communicate
seamlessly throughout the organization.​
● Improved ROI – hyperautomation boosts
revenue and reduces costs. With powerful
analytical tools and capabilities,
organizations can optimize the deployment of
their resources.​
MULTI-EXPERIENCE
● Involves developing fluent customer
experiences across websites, apps, and
4
modalities of voice, touch, and text,
irrespective of the channel.​
● It help businesses go beyond the traditional
ways of connecting with users and develop
voice, chat, wearable, and AR experiences in
support of the digital business.​
BENEFITS
● Improved Operational Efficiency – It
becomes easier than ever to streamline
business processes with every process being
present in one system. It also enables
enterprises to create efficient, faster, and
valuable digital experiences. ​
● Minimize the Time to Market Apps – Enabling
multiexperience will help brands significantly
improve development time by as much as 10
times. All credit to reusable code and
streamlined design processes.​
● Enable Controlled Deployment – A single
cloud-based deployment that takes few
weeks, can now be sent directly to
cloud-based server providers. Giving better
control and fast-tracked deployment.​
● Remove Security Risk – Enabling multi
experience can help enterprises get a 360
view of their software landscape with all the
applications feeding to a single platform.
Thus, eliminating all the potential security
risks like Shadow IT.
DEMOCRATIZATION
● Democratization of technology means
providing people with easy access to
technical or business expertise without
extensive (and costly) training. ​
● Technical and business expertise should be
accessible.​
● It focuses on four key areas — application
development, data and analytics, design and
knowledge — and is often referred to as
“citizen access,” which has led to the rise of
 information technology
REVIEWER | ITE 0001 - 5
citizen data scientists, citizen programmers
and more.
DEMOCRATIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT​
● AI PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides
access to sophisticated AI tools to leverage
custom-developed applications.​
● These cover vision, voice, and general data
classification and prediction models of any
type.​
HUMAN AUGMENTATION
● Is a field of research that aims to enhance
human abilities through medicine or
technology. ​
● This has historically been achieved by
consuming chemical substances that
improve a selected ability or by installing
implants which require medical operations. ​
● Augmented abilities have also been achieved
with external tools, such as eyeglasses,
binoculars, microscopes or highly sensitive
microphones.​
● Wearable technologies may act as mediators
for human augmentation, in the same
manner as eyeglasses once revolutionized
human vision. ​
● Human augmentation is the use of
technology to enhance a person’s cognitive
and physical experiences.
● Physical augmentation changes an inherent
physical capability by implanting or hosting a
technology within or on the body. For
example, the automotive or mining industries
use wearables to improve worker safety. In
other industries, such as retail and travel,
wearables are used to increase worker
productivity. ​
● Cognitive augmentation enhances a human’s
ability to think and make better decisions, for
example, exploiting information and
5
applications to enhance learning or new
experiences.
DATA POLICING
● The Rise of Big Data Policing introduces the
cutting-edge technology that is changing
how the police do their jobs and shows why it
is more important than ever that citizens
understand the far-reaching consequences
of big data surveillance as a law enforcement
tool.​
● Using data to determine community "hot
spots," where both criminal activity and traffic
incidents occur, police are deploying
high-visibility traffic enforcement officers to
targeted areas.​
● Data driven technologies serve a similar
function by collecting crime and other data,
analyzing this data to determine crime trends,
and using knowledge of these trends to make
predictions about future crimes.​
RISKS
● Data Quality – The effectiveness of predictive
software relies on the quality of input data. If
input data is inaccurate, incomplete, or
skewed, this will significantly affect the quality
of predictive outputs made by predictive
software.​
● Discriminatory Capacities – the use of
predictive software can result in
discriminatory outcomes. Evidence suggests
that some police activity may
disproportionately target members of
marginalized groups and impoverished
neighborhoods. ​
● Privacy Harms – The use of data driven
technologies requires the collection of large
quantities of data raising questions about the
police’s contributions to mass surveillance.
Such surveillance poses significant risks,
include violations of privacy rights. ​

MACHINE LEARNING
● Machine Learning is a specific subset of AI
that trains a machine how to learn.​
● allows the systems to make decisions
autonomously without any external support.​
● These decisions are made when the machine
is able to learn from the data and understand
the underlying patterns that are contained
within it.
METHODS
● Supervised Learning​
● Algorithms are trained using labeled
examples, such as an input where the desired
output is known. ​
● Supervised learning is commonly used in
applications where historical data predicts
likely future events.
EXAMPLE​
● Visual Recognition – AI learning the
pedestrian in the streets​
● Sorting – robot can sort garbage using visual
recognition​
● Decision Support – Trades for investors
● Human Behavior – may be able to detect
when a people is smiling​
● Robotics – Highly Developed AI that serves as
a housekeeping robot develops a theory that
there is usually dust under a sofa
METHODS
● Unsupervised Learning ​
● Is used against data that has no historical
labels. ​
● The system is not told the "right answer." ​
● The algorithm must figure out what is being
shown.​
● The goal is to explore the data and find some
structure within. Unsupervised learning works
well on transactional data.
● Semi-supervised Learning​
6
● Fall somewhere in between supervised and
unsupervised learning, since they use both
labeled and unlabeled data for training –
typically a small amount of labeled data and
a large amount of unlabeled data.​
● The systems that use this method are able to
considerably improve learning accuracy.
ROBOTIC PROCESS
● These tasks can include queries, calculations
and maintenance of records and
transactions.​
● Is an application of technology, governed by
business logic and structured inputs, aimed
at automating business processes. ​
● RPA automates everyday processes that once
required human action – often a great deal of
it performed in rote, time-consuming fashion.
BENEFITS
● Enabling better customer service;​
● Ensuring business operations and processes
comply with regulations and standards;​
● Allowing processes to be completed much
more rapidly;​
● Providing improved efficiency by digitizing
and auditing process data;​
● Creating cost savings for manual and
repetitive tasks; and,​
● Enabling employees to be more productive.
BLOCK CHAIN
● In the simplest of terms, blockchain can be
described as data you can only add to, not
take away from or change. Hence the term
“chain” because you’re making a chain of
data.​
● Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that
facilitates the process of recording
transactions and tracking assets in a
business network. ​
 information technology
REVIEWER | ITE 0001 - 5
● Although most people think of blockchain
technology in relation to cryptocurrencies
such as Bitcoin, blockchain offers security that
is useful in many other ways.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
● Consensus – For a transaction to be valid, all
participants must agree on its validity.​
● Provenance – Participants know where the
asset came from and how its ownership has
changed over time.​
● Immutability – No participant can tamper
with a transaction after it has been recorded
to the ledger. If a transaction is in error, a new
transaction must be used to reverse the error,
and both transactions are then visible.​
● Finality – A single, shared ledger provides
one place to go to determine the ownership
of an asset or the completion of a transaction.
VOICE SEARCH
● 71% of people prefer searching through voice
than searching by keyboard.​
● Voice search is where someone uses their
voice to interact with a search engine rather
than searching by text.​
● Voice search is known as “Speech
Recognition” technology that utilizes voice
command to accomplish an online search by
saying terms verbally as an alternative of
typing them into a search bar.​
● Voice Search is just a system of
question-answering or even often referred to
as a Personal Digital Assistant.
AFFECTS SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)
● Length of Queries ​
The number of queries that are spoken differs
completely from text-based ones. ​The
text-based searches are approximately
based on two to three-word lengths. While
7
voice-activated commands can sometimes
be longer than ten words.​
● Question-Based Searches​
Most of the voice search queries are in the
form of a question. For instance, a search that
would usually be typed as “voice search and
SEO”, while in voice-activated command, it
might sound like this “how will search impact
SEO?”​
● Queries with Clear Intent ​
As voice search queries frequently come in
the form of a question, they disclose the level
of purpose the user has. If you are a marketer,
it’s essential to recognize these high-value
queries and optimize relevant content
accordingly.​
ANALYTICS
● Analytics has emerged as a catch-all term for
a variety of different business intelligence
(BI)- and application-related initiatives. ​
● It is the process of analyzing information from
a particular domain, such as website
analytics. ​
● It is applying the breadth of BI capabilities to
a specific content area (for example, sales,
service, supply chain). ​
● Refers to the process of examining datasets
to draw conclusions about the information
they contain.​
● Data analytic techniques enable you to take
raw data and uncover patterns to extract
valuable insights from it.​
DIFFERENT STEPS IN DATA ANALYSIS
● The first step is to determine the data
requirements or how the data is grouped.
Data may be separated by age,
demographic, income, or gender. Data values
may be numerical or be divided by category.​

THE IMPACTS OF ICT IN HEALTH SECTOR
➔ Technology has brought about a massive
and welcome change to the healthcare
industry. Patients now have access to some of
the best diagnostic tools, new and
cutting-edge treatments, and a myriad of
minimally-invasive procedures resulting in
less pain and quicker healing.​
Technology has totally changed the game for
medical personnel. This can be seen in the following:
● Cost effectiveness
★ Before the digitization of patient
records, medical histories were on
paper. This means that a large
amount of paper was needed to
create these histories, write out
prescriptions and different diagnostic
tests. ​
● Time effectiveness
★ Writing a patient history takes a
considerable amount of time. This is
uncomfortable especially in hospitals
that experience a high flow of
patients. ​
● Statistical effectiveness
★ Due to the creation of new medical
technology that employs the use of
cloud data (huge amounts of
information used for analytic work) to

compile patient histories in specific
settings, studies are easier.​
● Widespread access to patients
★ Gone are the days when a gravely
sick patient had to wait for hours due
to his remote location. Now, doctors
can connect with patients who are
miles away and prescribe treatments.​
● Increased life expectancy
★ All the above-mentioned benefits
work together to achieve one
common goal – improving the life
expectancy of the general population.
Improved diagnostic, treatment and
remote access innovations tackle
primary and secondary illnesses.
