Emerging Technologies
Concept-level coverage of the terms bank exams now test: cloud computing and its service and deployment models, virtualisation and containers, AI/ML/deep learning and generative AI, Big Data, IoT and edge computing, and blockchain and distributed ledgers.
What you will be able to do
- Distinguish the cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and deployment models (public, private, hybrid).
- Place AI, machine learning, deep learning and generative AI as nested ideas.
- State what Big Data, IoT and edge computing mean and why each matters.
- Explain a blockchain / distributed ledger at a concept level and how a cryptocurrency uses one.

What the exam expects
This topic is tested at the level of "match the term to the description" and "which model is this an example of". You are not expected to configure anything — you are expected to place each buzzword correctly and not confuse two neighbours (AI with ML, a blockchain with a cryptocurrency, virtualisation with a container).
Everything below is described at a concept level. Nothing here is investment or financial advice.
