Written by Ikechukwu Kenneth In recent years, businesses have been relying on automation to streamline their operations, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. However, as technology continues to evolve, we are now witnessing the convergence of various automation technologies, giving rise to a new paradigm of automation called hyper-automation. Hyper-Automation combines artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and robotic process automation (RPA) to create a more efficient and effective automation framework. AI and ML are technologies that enable machines to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. They allow machines to recognize patterns, learn from data, and make predictions. RPA, on the other hand, is a software technology that automates repetitive, rules-based tasks. It works by automating the interactions between different software applications or systems. Also read: The Future Of Cybersecurity Hyper-Automation is the convergence of these...

Written by  Abubakar Mikail  Applications and Challenges of Distributed Ledger Technology Distributed Ledger Technology allow users to store, share, and synchronize data and transactions across a distributed network of many participants using distributed ledger technology. It can also be viewed as a collection of technologies with similar structures that operate according to different sets of rules.  I n this research, we provide a broad overview of the state of DLT and blockchain advancements and look in-depth at the key factors influencing their progress. We outline several areas for the DLT/Blockchain community to think about further concerning the potential function of standardization. The study aims to stimulate additional conversation regarding the potential role of standards in assisting the development and acceptance of the technology, rather than provide a comprehensive list of subjects. A mixed methods approach was employed to conduct the research, including an...
