Approximate Computing is a fairly new computing paradigm that aims at optimising execution time, improving performance and energy efficiency by sacrificing accuracy of results. This report addresses its techniques, challenges and applications centred around the possibility of it becoming universally acceptable across diverse applications within the data science, scientific computing, and artificial intelligence environment. This new concept is particularly important as it has the capability of gradually revolutionising and shaping the way in which billions of devices across the globe including embedded systems process data in order to make them much more efficient, energy-conserving, and even relevant amid the expanse of computing power that is currently available today.
