EMERGING TRENDS

Introduction
AI is changing the way of life for the better. Not only that, but it is revolutionizing industries. AI Lightbox focuses on three major aspects in our
Emerging Trends Annual Report. The goal of this report is to help educate the greater Western community on the importance of AI from a non-
technical point of view. AI Lightbox compromises of three analysts from diverse backgrounds who have delved into extensive research on the
following areas:

• The workforce of the future: re-defining roles & responsibilities in the workforce to invite technology into the workplace

• Marketing reimagined: Envisioning a new way of personalized customer interaction

• Healthcare transformation: Driving a patient-centered approach to reinvent the healthcare experience

                  Restructuring the work
                  experience.
                  Due to technological advances, roles and responsibilities within
                  the organization will need to be redefined and adjusted to enable
                  smooth interactions between technology and its users.

                  Why?

                  • Digital disruption: Need to successfully transition the
                    workforce to adapt to and profit from the 4th industrial
                    revolution1
                  • Solution: Designing a workforce based on what it will need to
                    succeed in defined strategic scenarios 5-10 years ahead

                  Current status2:
                  • Only 26% of Canadian CEOs are preparing for this shift
                  • Lack of vulnerable labour supply, 48% global companies are
                    hiring ahead of growth
                  • Can’t successfully transition operations without the right skills

                   Data from Accenture estimates AI in healthcare will be a $6.6
                   billion market by 2021. AI startups have raised $4.3 billion across
                   576 deals in the last 6 years, and healthcare providers are
                   projected to save almost $150 billion by 2026 with the help of AIs
                   that can prevent medication dosing errors1.

                   Five distinct trends are converging, which means robotics will
                   come to define new health:

                   •         Value challenge
