INTRODUCTION

Given recent innovations in technology, it is not hard to imagine a future where consumers commute in driverless
vehicles, shop by leveraging augmented reality, use conversational bots in place of mobile apps and order produce
through their connected refrigerators that interact with online grocery stores. These examples do not sound like
science fiction anymore as these technologies are at a prototype or early-adoption stage today.

Technology is being inserted into everyday physical objects. We can teach objects to respond to our presence,
motion, vocal commands, eyeball tracking, and even autonomic physiological behaviors such as heart rate or sleep
patterns. There is an explosion of data that Governments and businesses across are grappling with today. What’s less
well-known is the value of location data and the intelligence that geospatial analysis can provide business decision
makers, beyond those that are GIS (geographic information system) professionals.

Businesses across the world are moving rapidly to connect their products and equipment to the Internet-of-Things,
opening up opportunities to create new business models and transform how they run their operations and engage
with customers. However, tapping into the IoT is only part of the story. For companies to realise the full benefits of
IoT enablement, they need to combine IoT with rapidly-advancing Artificial Intelligence technologies, which enable
‘smart machines’ to simulate intelligent behaviour and take well-informed decisions with little or no human
intervention.

At its core, AI is about simulating intelligent behaviour in machines of all kinds, and since IoT is about connecting
those machines there is a clear intersection between AI and IoT. IoT combines connectivity with sensors, devices
and people, enabling a form of free-flowing conversation between man and machine, software and hardware. With
the advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, these conversations can enable devices to anticipate,
react, respond and enhance the physical world in much the same way that the internet currently uses networks and
computer screens to enhance the information world.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Although the potential for IoT is vast, its practical execution remains in its infancy. As a result, it’s difficult to
quantify the future impact with precision.

Global Context
 Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) estimated in December 2015 that the robot and AI solutions
market will surge to US$153bn a year by 2020, comprised of US$83bn for robots and robotics, and
US$70bn for AI-based analytics. BAML added that adoption of robots and AI could boost productivity by
30% in many industries over the coming decade, while cutting manufacturing labour costs by between 18%
and 33%.
 A new update to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Semiannual Internet of Things
Spending Guide forecasts worldwide spending on the Internet of Things (IoT) to grow 16.7% year over
year in 2017, reaching just over $800 billion. By 2021, global IoT spending is expected to total nearly $1.4
trillion as organizations continue to invest in the hardware, software, services, and connectivity that enable
the IoT.
 By 2021, global IoT spending is expected to total nearly $1.4 trillion as organizations continue to invest in
the hardware, software, services, and connectivity that enable the IoT.

Indian Context
 In India, IoT market is poised to touch $15 Bn by 2020. India will account for nearly 5% of the global IoT
market by 2020. It is expected that the data science and artificial intelligence industry in India (IT and non-
IT industries) will be worth US $16 billion by 2025, and is likely to spur an additional employment of
150,000 professionals in the country (Economic Times).

Manufacturing, Utility, BFSI (Blockchain), Security (Cyber or otherwise), Research, Training and skill
development, Robotics, AI, digital manufacturing, Big Data intelligence and Quantum communications,
Machine Learning, 3D printing, Supply Chain management, Telecom.
 However, Indian government does $1 Bn investment every year for building 100 smart cities. It is
expected that the data science and artificial intelligence industry in India (IT and non-IT industries) will be
worth US $16 billion by 2025, and is likely to spur an additional employment of 150,000 professionals in
the country. (Economic Times)

RATIONALE

With the exponential growth of AI & IoT market globally and regionally, there is a strong need to understand the
challenges that are existent. To tap on the market opportunities, there has to be a business synergy amongst the
stakeholders. The World is becoming ‘SMART’ and hence there is huge rush to understand the need of the
businesses, technology providers, Service providers, Public utility services, Consumers’ needs and behaviours.
There is an absence of a collective understanding on various pressing issues like

 Agility in imbibing new technologies,

 Higher cost of Investment for IT technologies
 Existing technologies are becoming obsolete
 Skill gap in maintaining current technologies

TECHNOLOGY TRENDS: GLOBAL & REGIONAL

Are organizations leveraging disruptive technologies to reimagine their future as well? The answer is a resounding
“yes.” Technology is helping organizations navigate an increasingly interconnected and complex world. For
instance, cognitive analytics and machine learning are enhancing companies’ ability to analyze transactional data
and predict their consumers’ likely behavioral outcomes.

The convergence of Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) were pioneering business technologies and acted
as an enabler for the next generation of technology trends. SMAC technologies are now becoming the building
blocks of a new platform for digital business initiatives. Together, these technologies can be used to create a
powerful platform to provide digital business outcomes. The new waves of disruptive technologies are also broadly
applicable; however, a major difference is that they are highly disruptive not only to enterprise IT, but also to
business models and processes.

The four technologies improve business operations and help companies get closer to the customer with minimal
overhead and maximum reach. The proliferation of structured and unstructured data created by mobile
devices, wearable technology, connected devices, sensors, social media, loyalty card programs and website
browsing has led to an absolute paradigm shift and has helped in in creating new business models built on customer-
generated data.

Disruptive technologies leading to Disruptive Business Trends: Industry expectations

As the adoption of newer technologies gains pace, enterprises are realizing the need to identify the business
functions that will derive the greatest value from them. In the current business environment, implementing a
combination of technologies seems to yield much better value than implementing a single technology. For example,
without the right analytics tools, it would be impossible to analyze the GBs of data churned out by IOT-linked

2 Concept Note| Geospatial Media & Communications

AI & IoT Summit 2018 Delhi

solutions. Hence, in order to derive maximum value out of IOT, robust analytical tools are required to understand
the trends and support in decision making. This is also the case with artificial intelligence and conversational
systems.

In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2020, there will be 26 billion IOT connected devices. The dramatic increase in smart
machines such as chat bots, virtual personal and consumer assistants will create major shifts in business practices
and customer behavior. Operational excellence and improved customer experience are the two main business
objectives for industries today. IOT, artificial intelligence and conversational systems have been identified as the
key technologies to achieve business objective.

The existing disruptive technologies do not appear to be a destination but rather a foundation for further emerging
and maturing ideas. The IOT, analytics and cyber security will play a major role for organizations in growing their
businesses and building sustainable competitive advantages in years ahead. All in all, the new emerging
technologies can add further value and competitive advantage for digital business initiatives. A combination of these
technologies can help optimize the blend of human-machine participation and interaction within business processes
for the digital future.

Additionally, there’s a huge opportunity to exploit data to create competitive advantage and make better, more
actionable business decisions. Location data is already and will continue to be a growing component of all business
data. Smartphone penetration is on the rise around the world, location infrastructure—such as cell towers, beacons,
RFID and GPS—is proliferating, and the Internet of Things is poised to go mainstream within a few years.
However, rather than adding to the complexity of the data landscape, location has the power to bring order to it.

Geo-Enabling Location Intelligence

Location data is already and will continue to be a growing component of all business data. Smartphone penetration
is on the rise around the world, location infrastructure—such as cell towers, beacons, RFID and GPS—is
proliferating, and the Internet of Things is poised to go mainstream within a few years. However, rather than adding
to the complexity of the data landscape, location has the power to bring order to it. Everyone knows businesses
today are grappling with the explosion of data. What’s less well-known is the value of location data and the
intelligence that geospatial analysis can provide business decision makers, beyond those that are GIS (geographic
information system) professionals.

Cyber Security

Organizations are looking at becoming more efficient through technology, but, in the interim, they are facing
challenges in implementing them. While we see the benefits of IOT, AI and conversational systems to achieve
operational excellence and customer satisfaction, the biggest risk enterprises perceive is security. In the era of
implementing a slew of disruptive technologies, what is of prime importance is to recognize the expanded attack
surface that is presented and the security flaws that may be exploited. Currently, as these technologies are evolving,
consistent standards are yet to be developed, with a lot of industries focusing on their development with security at
the forefront of their mind. For an organization to be able to effectively manage the risks of its ecosystem, it needs to
clearly define the limits of that ecosystem.

“Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS)”

This shows that IT transformation is still expensive and requires a thought out value proposition for the businesses
to go for it. This presents a unique opportunity for the concept of “Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS)” to be the
forefront to the solution of the omnipresent challenge to manage IT cost and resources. With Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS), Infrastructure-as-aService (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) already in the market, XaaS brings in a
new proposition of making the IT systems working in silos come together and function as a single unit.

XaaS signifies the provision of connected and in sync with IT systems and services typically over cloud. It supports
the essence of treating every IT requirement as a service, maintaining its availability. This provides better value to
the organization. XaaS can be a viable alternative to provide value to the management than investment in core IT
transformation. This may not be just to stay ahead of the curve or to improve efficiency, but also to build new
capabilities and leverage the synergy of a unified IT ecosystem.

FUTURE STEPS

Adopt a hybrid agile model

Over the last several years, product life cycles have continued to shorten, particularly when it comes to software.
However, in the age of IoT, these product life cycles will have to hit hyper drive. To meet this increasingly frenetic
pace, organizations will need to adopt a hybrid agile model, borrowing key capabilities from the automotive industry
and other sectors with high maturity and long life cycles, while accelerating the pace of release for key software
components. A robust prioritization framework to identify the right mix of capabilities for product delivery and
rapid deployment will be the key to success.

Increase partner ecosystem

Given that IoT is inextricably tied to consumer device manufacturers, big data platforms and software enablement,
organizations will have to create business application program interfaces (APIs) that enable them to plug into
different IoT ecosystems. At the same time, they will have to rely on other parties to develop the products for
delivery, which will require large changes to the underlying operating models within many organizations.

Human Resource Capabilities and Job Displacement: A Myth??

Over the coming years, ongoing advances in AI will have profound impacts on jobs, skills and HR strategies in
virtually every industry—underlining the fact that companies don’t have the luxury of time as they map out their
plans for an AI-enabled world. Already, integrating AI into IoT networks is becoming a prerequisite for success in
today’s IoT-based digital ecosystems. So businesses must move rapidly to identify how they will drive value from
combining AI and IoT—or face playing catch-up in years to come.

disseminate insights to the spot-on value of AI & IoT, moving from conceptualization to realization. There is a
profusion of promise in the space of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT), as a means to create
business value for across all the sectors. IoTs and Cloud are important Infrastructures. But an infrastructure remains
valid and relevant only when it does something towards driving the societal developments and growths. It is
predicted that by 2020, about 7.6 billion people will be interconnected via 50 billion devices which is a good
indication of worldwide diffusion of things and data connected to the internet via IoT technology. According to
business analysts, IoT technology will lead to an economic growth of 4.6 trillion dollars in the Global Public Sector
by 2020.

The Summit aims to deliberate on ‘Empowering Governance, Development & Businesses through AI & IoT’.
The rationale behind the Summit is to create an enabling and catalyst platform to understand how AI & IoT will
drive the various services initiated by Government and Industry together keeping the global trends and edge in view.
It is also seminal for the Summit to cater to the needs of the local and regional contexts as well with the overall

Key Themes

 Governance Services and Role of AI & IoT - The Government of India has announced an ambitious
plan. It is, indeed, encouraging to note that the focus on new generation technologies like robotics,
artificial intelligence, analytics, etc. as far as skill building initiatives have been given a boost. It
remains to be seen how partners from the private sector eco-system with knowledge and expertise in
these areas get involved in these initiatives. Few of them are worth mentioning – AI-based Sowing
App (Agriculture), Road safety measures, Interactive Cane for Visually Challenged (Healthcare),
Water quality for Citizens, ABHED (Artificial intelligence Based Human Efface), etc.

 SMART City Solutions and AI & IoT – Improving cities is a pressing global need as the world’s
population grows and our species becomes rapidly more urbanized. Thanks to the relative ease with
which Governments can now gather real time data, combined with the capabilities of artificial
Intelligence, cities are realizing interesting new ways to run more efficiently and effectively.

 New Generation Technological Innovations – The New generation technology shall reshape how
firms acquire and develop technology, how business partnerships will change, and how businesses
fundamentally operate as robots become more human. It is seminal to learn the new rules and
strategies to make it survive in the new age.
It is worth seeing the new technological disruptions through RPAs, Blockchain, Machine Learning,
Deep Learning, Chatbots, Augmented Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things,
Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality
 Business Transformations through AI & IoT – The Internet of Things (IoT) coupled with advanced
analytics capabilities such as artificial intelligence (AI) can lead to next-level solutions and
experiences. To realize greater value from the network, and to radically transform their business and
operating models, industry leaders are integrating AI with incoming data from a vast array of IoT
devices. Forward-thinking leaders are building out scalable digital platforms that help uncover new
insights about customer behaviors, perform predictive maintenance on key components and enhance
yields in manufacturing, agriculture and logistics networks.

 Connected World through AI & IoT - The objective of the theme is to flesh out the actual
applications of combining AI and IoT being used in industry today, and to demonstrate important
trends and future use cases for technologists who want get a lay-of-the-land of how artificial
intelligence might help to facilitate and make sense of the myriad connected devices in the coming
decade. (Examples - Automated vacuum cleaners, Facebook’s facial recognition, Apple’s Siri, Smart
Homes, Security and safety, Automated self-driving cars, and so on)
a. Real-world use cases of artificial intelligence combining with the internet of things
b. Potential future applications in industry and for consumers

 Cyber Security & Data Privacy - While we see the benefits of IOT, AI and conversational systems to
achieve operational excellence and customer satisfaction, the biggest risk enterprises perceive is
security. With potential GBs of raw data, security is at stake. For an organization to be able to
effectively manage the risks of its ecosystem, it needs to clearly define the limits of that ecosystem.

8 Concept Note| Geospatial Media & Communications

AI & IoT Summit 2018 Delhi

 Understanding AI & IoT through Geo-enabling Location Intelligence - When data volume swells
beyond a human’s ability to discern the patterns in it—when a company is faced with truly big data—
we need a new form of intelligence. GIS, infused with artificial intelligence, can help decision makers
make better decisions at all levels – policy, business, operations, etc. Organizations today are using
location-based data and analytics to do just that in a number of ways, from reducing costs through
augmenting address verification to improving customer experiences with in-store location technology,
and enhancing civic and community engagement in local government with spatial analysis software.

 Future Roadmap: Adopting Hybrid Agile Model - Over the last several years, product life cycles
have continued to shorten, particularly when it comes to software. However, in the age of IoT, these
product life cycles will have to hit hyper drive. To meet this increasingly frenetic pace, organizations
will need to adopt a hybrid agile model, borrowing key capabilities from the automotive industry and
other sectors with high maturity and long life cycles, while accelerating the pace of release for key
software components. A robust prioritization framework to identify the right mix of capabilities for
product delivery and rapid deployment will be the key to success.
