SOME INTERESTING STATS
Gartner predicts that 100 million consumers will shop in augmented reality by
2020. It also predicts that 85% of customer interactions will be managed without
a human by that time.
A PwC study of 2,500 U.S. consumers and business decision
makers found that business leaders, specifically, believe AI is
going to be fundamental in the future. In fact, 72% termed it
a “business advantage.”
In May 2016, Google reported that 20%
of its mobile queries were voice searches.
Niantic’s Pokemon Go, which greatly boosted
mainstream awareness of AR apps, hit a peak
of 45 million daily active users last July.
Marketers’ lack of understanding of AI-driven marketing might be influencing the rate of its adoption. To wit, more
than 40% of participants said they thought they had already adopted AI-driven marketing, reflecting a belief that
their targeting capabilities and automation meant that AI was operating behind the scenes.
In 2008, there were already more “things” connected to the Internet than people.
By 2020, the amount of Internet-connected things will reach 50 billion, with $19
trillion in profits and cost savings coming from IoT over the next decade.

For the first time in the history of medicine, on 14 April 2016 Shafi
Ahmed cancer surgeon performed an operation using a virtual reality
camera at the Royal London hospital. Everyone could participate in
the operation in real time through the Medical Realities website and
the VR in OR app. No matter whether a promising medical student
from Cape Town, an interested journalist from Seattle or a worried
relative, everyone could follow through two 360 degree cameras
how the surgeon removed a cancerous tissue from the bowel of the
patient.
