 1.  Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI has become immensely popular from the past few years and it continues to be an important trend in 2020. AI software helps in performing tasks like image recognition, dialogue or pattern identification, and decision making much quicker than human beings.
The jobs in AI will grow by several million in 2020 and precisely in development, coding, testing, maintenance, and support, etc. Skilled data scientists would be required by various companies so aspirants can go ahead with the AI certification course.

​ 2.  Machine Learning (ML)
ML is a part of AI covering deep learning algorithms and natural language processing (NLP). The devices empowered with machine learning capabilities learn and improve with experience. ML is accomplished by developing computer programs that can access data and utilize it to understand for themselves. Common examples of ML include chatbots for online customer support, voice search, virtual personal assistants, malware and spam filtering, etc.
ML is utilized in various industries like automobiles, agriculture, healthcare, software development, etc. You can find fantastic ML professional jobs posted on LinkedIn. Even the best mobile app development company in India implements ML to develop more versatile applications.

3. Edge Computing

With the continuous growth in the bulk of data we have to deal with, cloud computing poses limitations in some situations. So edge computing is designed to eliminate the problems caused by the abeyance in fetching data and transferring it to a central data processing unit.

As the name implies, edge computing is used to process time-sensitive data in inaccessible regions with inadequate or zero networks to a centralized location. Edge computing operates like mini data centers in such circumstances. It is going to increase simultaneously with the usage of (IoT) devices.

 4.  Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) modifies the environment for the created by Virtual Reality (VR). VR is mostly used in gaming and training of armed forces. Pokemon Go is a well-known example of an AR-based application.

AR and VR have gigantic prospects in entertainment, teaching, augment marketing, and training physicians for surgery, etc.

 5.  Blockchain
Blockchain technology is often recognized in relation to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, however, it also offers useful multi-purpose security. The data added and stored in the database via blockchain technology is completely safe from any alteration by unauthorized sources. The data is stored in blocks making it more secure. The biggest advantage is that there is no need for any third party to authenticate transactions.

6. Internet of Things (IoT)
Numerous utility devices are integrated with Wi-Fi connectivity, i.e. they can be interconnected via an internet connection. Hence IoT has gained popularity and it has a lot of prospects for managing home appliances, remote-controlled devices, vehicles, etc.  The number of IoT devices in 2020 is projected to be around 20.4 billion all over the world.

7.  More Autonomous Entities
Autonomous entities are the substantial devices that utilize AI to mechanize functions earlier performed by human beings. The most familiar present forms of autonomous entities are drones, robots, self-governing vehicles, and instruments. The automation of these entities has exceeded the automation implemented by stiff encoding models. Such entities take full advantage of AI to impart superior behaviors that act mutually more logically with their environments and humans.
​
With continuous technology enhancements, directive permits and communal approval extends, more autonomous entities will be used in various fields.
