A wave of innovation will sweep the world powered by big data and everything will be driven by automation, artificial intelligence and micro innovation. A lot of old jobs will go up in smoke and new ones of which nothing is known at present, will emerge. This was stated by K.K. Aggarwal, Chairman, National Board of Accreditation, here on Friday. He was speaking at the 3rd annual convocation of the JSS Science and Technology University in which 1,363 students were eligible to receive various degrees including 873 students who completed their BE apart from 214 (M.Tech), 67 (MCA), 26 (MSc) and 183 students who qualified to receive their MBA degrees. Prof. Aggarwal said micro-innovation will be the new norm and the emerging trends will change the landscape of life and business. He said American writer Alvin Toffler spoke of 3 waves that included the agrarian economy, the industrial revolution and the information age. “We are stepping into the fourth which is the giant storm of innovation.”
