The concept of digital transformation refers to the process of using digital technologies to meet current needs. One of the most important areas that ensure this transformation is Information Technologies.
Information technologies include some items such as software, hardware, services and equipment. Computer systems, cloud-based technologies, communication technologies; are some of the tools that information technologies make use of. By using these tools; Processes such as data analysis, designing and producing products and services become possible. It is known that information technologies play an important role in determining the needs of people and society. Not limited to this, it provides the production of equipment and services to meet these needs. It is possible to benefit from information technologies at every stage of this detection and production process.
Information technologies make the emergence of products and services human-oriented. In this way, efficiency can be achieved in many areas from health to architecture, from education to engineering. Getting feedback about the process is possible thanks to information technologies. Thus, it becomes possible to solve the problems as soon as possible and to meet the needs as soon as possible.
The Future of Jobs in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is one of the most important technologies of the century we live in. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science occupy an important position among the professions of the next 50 years.
