Artificial Intelligence, or simply called AI, as the name suggests, is the intelligence displayed by machines. By acquiring intelligence, however artificial, machines will become able to function and interact like humans. Today, the existing AI is called narrow or weak AI. A future goal for the researchers is to create general or strong artificial intelligence with the ability to perform nearly every cognitive task. Along with this, its futuristic scope also boosts the people’s curiosity towards this field. Individuals who are interested in artificial intelligence, machine learning, or deep learning can choose a career in this technology. As the scope of this technology expands every day, so will the demand for machine learning engineers, machine learning researchers, and AI developers, and thus the job opportunities.
It is beginning to become an inevitable part of our daily lives and has the power to transform our lives through its daily services. There are several major sectors that are already starting to use AI such as healthcare, automobiles, language processing, and so on. Many major companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Apple have identified the value of this technology and are planning to invest more and more to develop their own machine learning technologies. Here, we will move on to some of the benefits it has brought to different industries and thus to our lives. Some of its main benefits are:
1. Problem Solving: This is the primary application of AI, as it can be used to solve critical and complex problems, just like humans.
2. Medical Sciences: In medical sciences, AI is used to create personal healthcare virtual assistants that can perform research and analysis. Healthcare bots are also being developed to provide customer support and assistance, 24/7.
3. Data analytics: AI can be applied to improve data analytics, develop algorithms faster with transactional data and provide new insights into data, thus improving business operations.
4. Aviation Industry: Almost every activity conducted for air transport management is based on AI technologies. There are many programs used in air transportation activities, and most of them are designed using artificial intelligence. The survival of air transport without artificial intelligence is unthinkable.
5. Game arena: With the development of artificial intelligence, video games have evolved by providing game bots that can act and play like real players and you can start the game without waiting for other players to play with you.
6. In addition to the above applications, this technology can also be used in hundreds of other applications such as speech recognition, image processing, vision systems, handwriting recognition, and so on.
Despite all its advantages and applications, it is a major concern that artificial intelligence can pose a potential threat to the existence of humans. In the wrong hands, intelligent systems can be a major source of destruction. Where autonomous vehicles could be a major advantage of this technology, autonomous weapons could be a potential threat. However, with proper care and control, we can use this technology in a positive way and it can be used to shape the future of humanity.
