What is Artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence allows machines to understand or learn from experiences, adapt to different inputs, and perform human-like work. The latest example of artificial intelligence is self-driving cars, which rely entirely on deep learning and natural language processing.

Some movies and science fiction novels have shown AI as human-like robots that expropriate or rule the world, but recent advances in AI technology aren’t all that scary — or relatively smart. Rather, AI has evolved to provide different benefits in each industry.

Some reasons that clarify the importance of AI

 

• AI automates redundant learning and discovery through data. Rather than automating manual work, AI performs continuous, computational, high-volume tasks. This makes the process reliable and fatigue-free.
• AI infuses intelligence into mainstream products. Mechanization, informal platforms, automation and smart devices can be integrated with vast amounts of data and modify many technologies.
• Artificial intelligence adapts through advanced learning algorithms that enable data programming. To acquire skills using algorithms, Al discovers configurations and patterns in data.
• AI verifies more and larger data using neural networks that can have multiple invisible layers.
• AI gains remarkable accuracy through deep neural networks.
• AI gets the most out of data. Where algorithms learn by themselves and understand themselves, the data itself is itself. As the role of data is now more important, it could bring competitive and efficient advantages.

Development of artificial intelligence and robots

Artificial intelligence and robotics are two “quick hits” that are being born, and their intersection will soon change the population of businesses. The advancement of smarter artificial intelligence and more protean robotics have benefited both technologies to increase the redundant tasks of the past to attempt adaptive and more intelligent applications.

In the coming years, the result will be triviality without extreme paradigm shifts. The coming era of smarter robots is sure to have a profound effect on manufacturing organizations like Microsoft and Oracle, which have already made tremendous strides in supporting the assembly of a cognitive, connected factory. AI-instilled robots will also be launched at this time to renovate industries that have yet to assign intelligent devices. This will surely lead to the development of fascinating scenarios in security, productivity, transportation, services, companionship and housing.

However, robots are satisfactorily adapted to participate in tasks that humans do not want or wish to do or find difficult.

How does AI affect our daily lives?

Artificial intelligence or AI as it is known is a buzzword and a trending technology that promises to change the way we live, play and work. Artificial intelligence may not be visible on the surface, but it is there in the background and affects our daily lives.

 

Robots

 

Robots are nothing new. However, artificial intelligence is evolving to give robots more intelligent capabilities. Take the case of restaurant chain Alibaba in China, which now uses robots instead of waiters. Restaurants save on the wages they pay waiters, and customers reap the benefits of fast service, better food, and lower prices. Elderly and infirm people need help with some routine tasks, and depending on someone is expensive. Humans can also prove unreliable, while robots can provide assistance to help older people enjoy independent living. The robotic manufacturing process results in products that are of better quality and at the same time lower in price. Artificial intelligence improves the quality of life on different levels for different people.

 

Health care

 

Health care is becoming more expensive every day, and with such pressure on doctors, it is no wonder that many cases are misdiagnosed. Artificial intelligence and its subset machine learning can learn to quickly analyze medical data and arrive at a diagnosis faster than doctors can, and sometimes even identify problems that doctors may miss. This applies to hospitals and patients. Talk about normal people and a smart wearable is an AI-powered device that monitors your condition and helps you maintain good health or even improve it.

 

Reduces effort

 

People engage in daily activities such as shopping online, turning on and off appliances in homes and offices, sending emails, and a hundred other things that require routine tasks to be repeated every day. Artificial intelligence helps in every way. Shop online and the site remembers your preferences and makes recommendations. Open your email account and intelligent software will redirect spam and even classify mail according to rules you can set. Drive in traffic and artificial intelligence will help you find the shortest routes or the least congested.

Traffic management systems benefit from helping authorities gain predictive capabilities about peak traffic and other matters to keep flows flowing. If you want to search for a product online, you don’t need to pick up your smartphone and type in keywords. Just speak them with Alexa or Cortana. With artificial intelligence in the background, you can listen to or view the news and media you want.

Everyone knows about Google’s self-driving car project, and it’s only a matter of time before they become commonplace on the roads. If you use a credit card, you may no longer need to enter a PIN. Just show your face. While some jobs could be lost to AI, people will be able to do things that AI can’t do now.

 

Crime and fraud

 

Shopping and emails are mundane compared to crime. You could be the next victim and the perpetrator could walk away unscathed. Not so with AI. AI is increasingly being used by financial institutions to detect anomalies in transactions and identify attempted fraud. Artificial intelligence in traffic or security cameras can easily identify people by their faces and even sharpen blurry photos to help law enforcement. If life is safer and will become safer, it will be largely thanks to AI.

 

Lawyers and the law

 

When it comes to crime, lawyers are not far away. A typical lawyer has to collect a lot of evidence, go through documents and then extract nuggets of information that could help his client. It is an arduous task. Artificial intelligence comes to the rescue by doing all this and with an accuracy that a human is unlikely to achieve.

 

How does AI actually affect lives?

 

As you can see, artificial intelligence is in all spheres of activity, from industrial to commercial to domestic and even military. How is this wave of artificial intelligence affecting lives? First, people are freed from the drudgery of performing routine and time-consuming tasks. They can use their brain power to do something better and more intelligent and soul-satisfying at the same time.

More people will enjoy the facility of much better healthcare services. People may see an increase in their lifespan. Offices are becoming more productive with intelligent robotic assistants that take notes or perform routine functions, reducing the burden on employees and allowing them to do more productive and satisfying tasks.
