Gartner has identified top 10 Strategic Technology Trends that an organization needs to explore in 2019.
“The Intelligent Digital Mesh has been a consistent theme for the past two years and continues as a major driver through 2019. Trends under each of these three themes are a key ingredient in driving a continuous innovation process as part of a ContinuousNEXT strategy,” said David Cearley, vice president and Gartner Fellow. “For example, artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of automated things and augmented intelligence is being used together with IoT, edge computing and digital twins to deliver highly integrated smart spaces. This combinatorial effect of multiple trends coalescing to produce new opportunities and drive new disruption is a hallmark of the Gartner top 10 strategic technology trends for 2019.”

Drones fitted with infra-red cameras could soon be flying over paddocks helping sheep farmers save newborn lambs.
The drones take thermal images of flocks that can then be used to assess the health of lambs.

“The ewe and the lamb have a heat signature,” lambulance co-creator Andrew Bailey said.
“What we're trying to do is relate that heat signature to the likelihood of success for that animal staying alive.”

The UK's Ministry of Defence is “actively” trying to create fully autonomous killer drones, according to a report (PDF) by a campaign group.

“Powered by advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and computing, we are likely to see the development not only of drones that are able to fly themselves – staying aloft for extended periods – but those which may also be able to select, identify, and destroy targets without human intervention,” said campaign group Drone Wars UK in its latest report, titled “Off The Leash: The development of autonomous military drones in the UK”.
