Adversarial Machine Learning to Gain Traction

Juniper has identified 2019 as the year in which adversarial machine learning will gain traction in sectors such as healthcare and advertising, where protection of huge amounts and types of sensitive data is a high priority.

The company argued that the technology would increasingly be required as a means of identifying weaknesses of machine learning algorithms during the learning and identification process, while enforcing the protection and integrity and validity of data in these systems.

Meanwhile, Juniper believes that 2019 will be the year when AI will be combined with EDGE computing in IoT systems; enabling faster processing of IoT applications, and delivering improved data filtering, automation and workload distribution.

The white paper also claimed that a banking-as-a-service economy would emerge; allowing technology-focused players to offer services across a wide range of new platforms.
