Artificial Intelligence (AI)

From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer or a robot controlled by a computer to do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and discernment. Artificial intelligence is a theory and development of computer systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. For example, Speech recognition, decision-making, visual perception, are features of human intelligence that artificial intelligence may possess.

AI applications include advanced web search engines (e.g., Google), recommendation systems (used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix), understanding human speech (such as Siri and Alexa), self-driving cars (e.g., Tesla), automated decision-making, and competing at the highest level in strategic game systems (such as chess and go). As machines become increasingly capable, tasks considered to require “intelligence” are often removed from the definition of AI, a phenomenon known as the AI effect. For instance, optical character recognition is frequently excluded from things considered to be AI, having become a routine technology.

5 Ways AI is Changing our World for the Better:

• It is creating new jobs for people who are in the IT sector.
• Less paperwork, quicker responses, a more efficient administration – AI has the power to drastically change public administration. But here is a problem, this tech comes with both risks and opportunities that need to be understood and evaluated.
• Delivering Health Care: Patients can get an accurate, safe, and convenient answer in seconds – and save health care.
• Creating Art: Computational creativity is drastically changing the nature of art. Software, more than a tool, is becoming a creative collaborator, merging computer scientists with the artist.
• It could finish language barriers between the two different people who speak different languages.
