AI Trends to Look for in 2019 And Beyond
Artificial intelligence has affected our everyday lives, and we realize it isn’t a scary concept as people once thought of it. Every year, we see AI introducing new ways to engage users, drives sales and make the processes convenient. In the past years, we witnessed the popularity and effectiveness of AI bots and how they made our lives and jobs easier.
Companies in 2019 have been able to access and implement this life-changing technology.
Look around yourself if you don’t trust me and note all kinds of interesting AI uses. But what’s next now? What’s new in the world of AI in 2019 and ahead? What artificial intelligence trends will be looked upon beyond 2019?
Let’s quickly find out more AI trends that are expected to make a mark in 2019 and beyond.
Technology has come down to the level that computers not only understand your speech but they are also able to ‘see’ and ‘recognize’ with the help of ‘image recognition’. It is the ability of computers to acquire, process and analyze data from visual sources. Thanks to artificial intelligence, that has become possible.
Image recognition has various uses including the ability to detect license plates, allow photo analysis for payment completion or other verification. It can help businesses improve their marketing to a great level. We see it as a rising trend in 2019 and ahead.
We have been facilitated by voice assistants like Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and other devices, for a long time now. Till now, these voice assistants have been performing basic tasks like searching and playing the requested song, and making a call, etc. But we expect to witness big changes in the things AI assistants will perform in 2019. AI assistants will be able to perform more individualized experiences as soon as they get better at identifying different users’ voices. So rather than just speaking to our mobile or AI home device, we predict we will be able to speak to our cars, TV, even refrigerators.
Since the advent of voice search, the way in which users search online has transformed for the past few years. Users now speak a query instead of typing. Voice search is an emerging trend and as soon as people start using AI-powered assistants more often and in new ways, conversational AI-powered search will hold the grip. By new ways, we mean customers will speak of their queries in a more conversational way. As a result, AI-powered search engine will not only provide the number of listings, but it will also facilitate us with more conversational answers. In simpler words, the way users will be provided with the search results will become more advanced.
We are all familiar with the usability of chatbots contributing to customer services. A mainstream example is easily ordering a burger or a pizza through Facebook chatbots. Gartner predicts ‘By 2020, 85% of customer interactions will be handled without a human.’
So, 2019 will be the year where we will see initiation of some major advancements in chatbots. We expect to see customers speak to chatbots just like they would to a live chat agent.
Chatbots will be strengthened with more functionalities, as customers will be able to speak to chatbots just like they would to any chat agent. Therefore, companies along with simple chatbots will be focusing on implementing human-like virtual agents too. More business proprietors will be using conversational chatbots and virtual agents for customer services so that users do not have to pass to a real-life staffer.
When you shop online, various websites give you recommendations, based on the history of purchases that you have made or browsed. We now expect to see these recommendations become even smarter. AI will be able to provide better recommendation than before based on the tone and sentiment of the customers which will be received as a result of advanced voice search along with their browsing history. Companies will then be providing guided and more personalized shopping experience.
It is a real menace for business owners to prevent cloud infrastructure, the internet of things devices and software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms from cybercriminals. Nevertheless, artificial intelligence will make it easier for you and ward off cyber threats and hackers. AI cyber defense catches the subtle indicators of any unusual activity that takes place and protects your system early or before the threat becomes uncontrollable. Various companies have started using AI and machine learning to uncover cybercriminals and identify threats before they cause any damage.
These are some of the most useful and exciting AI trends that are expected to score a mark in 2019 and beyond. We expect to see multiple others down the road. People have begun embracing AI rather than being skittish because of the efficiency and convenience it has brought to the world. It possesses the potential to transform the way things are done. We’ve seen AI revamping domains like digital marketing, CRM and others. We will witness more companies implementing this life-changing technology in the years to come.

To improve customer experience, some well-known brands are already using voice technology.
Hilton joined with IBM have assigned a digital concierge. ‘Connie”, who answers client questions like “Where is the Elm conference room?” or “What time does the buffet start?” At the Henna na Lodging in Nagasaki, Japan, you’ll see a front desk where you’ll find robots instead of humans. These robots use facial expressions and voice recognizing software to help you with check-in. They can translate languages and have wide information on the area. The travel portal, Kayak, also employs voice-enabled, natural language technology to assist travelers in finding their next trip. Leisure businesses are built on pampering the clients with round-the-clock facilities. You won’t even have to move a little, not even swiping for obtaining data on your phone.

Let’s ditch the method of providing PINS and being pushed from one department to another. The Spanish bank Santanders app offers you the access to log in and give a quick voice command: “Pay Paulo $100 tomorrow.” This app can execute your command. You’ll be able to inquire for your most recent transactions and also report a misplaced card. Moreover, “Nina” who is a smart virtual assistant of the Swedish retail bank Swedbank, can answer site questions/queries in a conversational way.

Where your voice becomes your password, which eliminates the hassle clients encounter when they have to verify their information and explain their concerns to customer representatives.

The big day of Google Stadia is just around the corner. As announced on Stadia’s official Twitter account back in October, Google Stadia will drop on November 19.
Imagine a world where you don’t have to play the next big release title with extravagant gaming equipment. A world where everything you need to do to begin gaming is to open your browser pick a player, and start gaming – no waiting for the longer download.
This will actually become a reality if Google’s cloud gaming service, Stadia, fulfills its commitments – from opening a Chrome tab to playing a 4 K, 60fps player, everything done in 5 seconds – no installation needed!
At launch, Google has promised support for desktop, laptops, tablets, and smartphones – but just to initiate the Pixel series – without a hardware device, with games powered by Google’s own data centers instead. The cloud computing ability of Stadia, as revealed, is the equivalent of a console running at 10.7 GPU teraflops’, which is more than the average PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.
Google Stadia could prove to be an absolute game-changer.

How Custom Web Development Benefits your Business
These days, all the major firms are opting for customized development of web development. It’s high time to build or update your website. Your business has unique aspects, and thus the look and feel of your website should be reflective of your brand.
While your company website’s look and design may be the first thing visitors note, it’s the functionality, features loading time, and scalability of the site that truly makes you successful throughout the Internet.
One of the greatest things you can do to ensure your business’ success is to incorporate custom web development. Custom website development not only helps improve your business visibility, it can also help your business in the following ways.
Using a website builder or CMS software usually offers you a readymade template to deal with, unless, you choose to have one built-in feature, which may be pricey. This theme enables you to put certain items in predetermined styles on websites, and this can create an impression of uniqueness when you are really restricted to the constraints of the theme.
There’s no theme with a customized website. The website’s architecture is based on your preferences and has no constraints or limits on how the website looks. It implies that no two websites that are built, look the same.
Such uniqueness will therefore distinguish your site from your competitors allowing you to create your site around the customer journey and concentrate on the design and development on the idea that your users will most certainly follow.
Most website builders or CMSs involve a number of built-in functionalities. That is to serve as many different users as possible, allowing such systems and platforms to reach the biggest customer base available. The dilemma is that this kind of functionality comes with every website created using these tools, independent of whether or not it requires it.
Website loading times are vital to your business which can be the difference between landing and losing a customer, particularly when customers look at websites using mobile broadband on mobile devices. According to research, more than 50 percent of website visits are abandoned if a page takes more than three seconds to load.
Custom website development helps you to minimize unnecessary functionality. In fact, building each one of the site’s functions allows you to optimize not only the functionality but also the design for these functions, further decreasing load times.
Security of the website has always been a popular topic on the web. Through the use of an existing platform to build a website, whether it’s a website builder or an open source CMS, opens up vulnerabilities which impact all other websites that use these platforms. It means that the vulnerability found on another website that has used the same platform, could be used to spread all other sites using that same version of the platform. The important point here is that many businesses that custom builds websites are also hosting these websites for the customer so the hosting environment will be optimized for the security of both the hosted websites and applications.
Having to share a database or design platform with a number of other websites, causes you to be attacked. If a website with which you share server space is shut down or infected with a virus, Google can penalty every website on that server until the issue is resolved.
Most of the website builders are neither scalable nor flexible suggesting their lifespan is very limited for any serious business. Custom website design offers customers with a user-friendly approach. Developers can scale the website’s design process and make necessary adjustments whenever needed. At the beginning custom developers set up a proper structure when designing the site’s roadmap. The website can be customized as needed or on an ongoing basis. Template websites do not provide us with a customization option, as many unnecessary codes that cannot be edited, create it.
Open source CMS provides much more scalability and flexibility although it comes at a price and usually requires a professional or business to be able to manage the system. With custom building, you can build your own website with scalability in consideration.
The ability and freedom for optimization for your business is one of the biggest and most important reasons to customize your website. Even though with open source CMSs, you can do a lot this is the most crucial part. It should not only be a marketing and branding function to build a website.
You can create whatever you want on your website from the start rather than going through thousands of functional and development choices. Including designing features that will support your business processes, you can also create a customer journey that best fits your business and customers.
In addition to simplifying your customer journey, you can also use a tailor-made website to automate many of your business functions.
In a nutshell; here are some of the benefits of custom web development for effective management of your business.
Before you decide to go for either web design or website template, it’s better to consider what’s going to be more beneficial. It’s also wise to bear in mind that you want your business to stand out among others. You may be investing more initially on Custom Web Development, but it can be a great investment in the future success of your business.
