Top 10 IT trends negative impact in SA

1. Artificial Intelligence operates by restructuring a lot of results,, iterative preparation and clever calculations, allowing the product to gain consequently from examples or highlights in the information (Davenport, 2019). AI will take more jobs from people since robots will be doing the work faster than humans.

2. Machine learning is the use and development of computer systems that can learn and adapt without specific guidance by using algorithms and mathematical models to interpret and draw inferences from data patterns (Davenport, 2019). The machines will be more efficient than humans hence ending up making humans less intelligent.

3. 4IR is a way to describe the actual blurring between, interactive, and biological borders. It is a blend of developments in artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things ( IoT), 3D printing, genetic engineering, quantum computing, and other technologies (Ndung’u & Signe, 2020). Employees may spend more time on innovative, interactive, and challenging problem-solving projects that are not well suited to computer automation.

4. 5 G is the newest cellular infrastructure iteration, intended to dramatically increase the capacity and responsiveness of wireless networks. Because of the more usable spectrum and improved antenna technologies, 5 G would see a sharp rise in the amount of data transmitted via wireless networks (Alexander & et al., 2019). The battery may be consumed faster on devices and also the limitations of rural access.

5. A blockchain is a shared, distributed, and most public data database composed of documents called blocks used to monitor transactions through several computers so that, without modifying any subsequent blocks, any block involved will not be retroactively changed ("built-in," 2018).

6. AI Security, through using complicated algorithms, computer security firms teach AI programs to detect viruses and malware so that AI can then do pattern detection in applications. This helps data protection organizations keep up-to-date with the current threats and time frames and implement sensitive plans to defend enterprises (Laurence, 2019).

7. Data Science has the infrastructure, research, the use of machine learning for decision making, and data items as topics. Computer science is used in various ways, but it is not just about deep learning or the quest for general artificial intelligence (Bowne-Anderson, 2018).

8. Big data is an environment that deals with methods of analyzing, continuously collecting information from, data sets that are too wide or difficult to work with or otherwise treat standard application applications for data processing (Marr, B2020).

9. Robotics technology affect every part of work and home. Robotics has the ability to change lives and workplace environments positively, improve levels of productivity and protection, and deliver improved levels of operation. Robotics now underpins employment in those sectors (“EU ROBOTICS,” 2017). Robots can not respond in times of emergencies and danger.

10. An IoT framework consists of sensors/devices that form communication are "talking" to the cloud. When the data arrives to the cloud, algorithms evaluate it and then decide to perform an action, such as sending an alert or automatically changing the sensors / devices without the user's need. (McClelland,2016).
