Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting the future of almost every industry in the world today. It has been pitched as the main driver of other technologies such as robotics, Internet of Things, big data and business process automation. Going into 2021, AI will continue to be a fulcrum of technological innovation and will be so for foreseeable future. The next few years will see an unprecedented fast development and adoption of emerging technologies driven by AI. To prepare industries on what awaits them, here are some top issues for AI in 2021.

As humans become increasingly reliant on technology and machines for their daily activities and decision-making, there is concern over a possible conflict between machines and people. Artificial intelligence is one area that has shown potential to help in many things but has also shown the possibility of affecting various humans in different ways adversely. For instance, if left unchecked, AI can create inequality and can even deny humans their rights. On the contrary, if used for good, it can enhance these rights and provide shared prosperity and create a future we all dream of for ourselves.
