With the start of the year 2023 one common word doing the rounds is Emerging Technology. What really is it? And why has the government allocated a separate budget for Emerging Technology to the Education Department?
Emerging technologies represent growing areas of technological innovation in the market. The most talked about emerging technology that will supposedly change the entire system are Artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (MI), Blockchain, Big Data, Cyber Security Metaverse, Drone Technology, and Internet of Things (IoT) to name a few. Science and technology have brought these recent developments which have the capacity to change the way market, society and economy operate.
The world is growing at a fast pace and the use of these technologies is expected to increase double fold. The number of users connected to a device with the internet is expected to grow between 50 billion to 1 trillion by the next decade. This also accounts for why such advancement in the user interface can be witnessed. With the market and industry adopting these advanced and growing technologies, there emerges a need for the education system to put focus on the same. The government of India in the Union Budget 2023, has allocated Rs 44,094 crore for higher education. The government has emphasised on three centres of excellence for Artificial Intelligence for Educational Institutions, skilling in areas such as machine learning and robotics, and the launch of the national data governance framework.
