In addition to voice interaction with machines, the tech industry can also expect to see more integration of AI and machine learning to keep up with ever-changing security threats, especially when it comes to network security. Human-driven, manually maintained networks simply can't detect anomalies like machine learning and AI-driven technology.
That's where Cisco's intent-based network comes to play. Called one of the most significant breakthroughs in enterprise networking, this new network connects billions of devices, and can identify what's trustworthy and what isn't in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months.
As Chuck Robbins noted this summer, "Intent-based networking allows for automation at scale, so companies can manage a seemingly unmanageable array of devices and other technologies."
Cisco's Vice President of Growth Initiatives Ruba Borno says this new network is required in this new era of IT. "We are using machine learning and artificial intelligence to power a self-learning network, furthering our ability to automate."
