The World of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence
is a subdiscipline of computer science. The main objective of this wise
technology is to create intelligent agents, that is, to develop software or
create a combination of software and hardware, able to observe and study the
environment in which it is present. Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI,
is classified into two areas: strong AI and weak AI. Strong Artificial
Intelligence means "computational intelligence" that meets or exceeds
manual or human intelligence in a particular area. Weak AI, on the other hand,
is completely the opposite of strong AI, because it is not designed to match
human intelligence for any given activity. The world we are living in today is
full of artificial intelligence. May be we do not acknowledge it, but it is
still present in many things. There are different types of Artificial
Intelligence technology or computer automation systems that are changing our
lives; for instance, you can ask anything from search engines like Google™ and
Bing™ and get the related answers.
Let's take a
look at the world of AI today and how recent advances in Artificial
Intelligence could change our future.

The World of Artificial Intelligence Today
Robotics: Robotics is evolving swiftly with AI
technology. In the past, robots were simple machines, which couldn't automate
things and only worked with manual remote controls. However, present-day robots
are smart and incorporated with environmental sensors that can study the
surrounding environment and detect explosives, as well as carry out a lot of
critical tasks.
Automatic Vacuum: The automatic vacuum, also known as
a Robotic vacuum, is one of the basic types of AI technology. An automatic
vacuum can learn and map the strategies of an area. This device can learn the
coordinates of a room, based on hitting objects such as furniture and walls of
the room. Once it has mapped the home, it can easily plan and clean all the
rooms without hitting any object.

| Chat Bots |
Chatbots: Chatbots are common these days, and
they are likewise another type of AI technology. Recently, Google™ launched its
application "Google™ Allo," which is incorporated with an impressive
chatbot. Microsoft’s Cortana™ and Apple’s Siri™ are also great examples of
intelligent chatbots. Future chatbots will be more accurate in stimulating
smart or intelligent conversations with humans.

Artificial Intelligence
technology is advancing very fast, but it is still far behind our brains. It might
take many years for AI machines to use
"logic," in order to determine the best methods of troubleshooting.
Nevertheless, artificial intelligence is behind some of the most revolutionary
advances in modern mechanics, medicines, and more. Our lives are incomplete
without artificial intelligence today. Let's take a look at some recent
advances in AI.
Recent Advances in AI

Artificial Intelligence in Public
Infrastructure: Robotic
crawlers are great examples of AI in public infrastructure. They can identify
weak spots in power and high-voltage transmission lines.[3]
The U.S. Military has also employed AI technology in its systems in the form of
automobiles, as well as other smart gadgets which can detect explosives.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence: Future Prospects
Smart Machines: No one can predict the future, but,
as per the current scenario, it is easy to say that we are going to see a new
sort of "Animal-Inspired" smart machines. However, these smart
machines will change and update over time, as an aftereffect of their interactions
with the world. They will be strange, regardless of how smart they'll work.
These machines are going to enter the public consciousness for sure.[4]
Robots: Future robots will take over all jobs,
just like present applications have taken over most small businesses. We will
have smart robots designed for specific tasks and certain jobs.
- According to Pieter Abbeel, an associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley, robots will keep us safe from disasters. Moreover, traffic accidents and deaths will be prevented through AI technology.
- As per Stuart Russell, a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, future AI computers will solve all the problems that are related to climate change.
Web 3.0: Web 3.0 (Third-GenerationWeb) is an
ongoing project, as well as the next big thing in the evolution of the world
wide web and its applications. This project is attempting to correct the
semantic inadequacies of the existing web (2.0) by introducing dynamic and
versatile markup to the documents that make up the network. Web 2.0 is the
social web (bookmarking, social sharing, hash tagging, and more), while Web 3.0
will be the intelligent web, for example, intelligent software agents,
intelligent browsing, and other aspects of artificial intelligence
technologies. [5]

Self Driving Cars: After the Uber software application,
we are now heading toward self-driving cars. We can clearly see the future of
an AI technology that will be able to self-drive a vehicle and have the potential
to prevent road accidents.

Nanobots: Would it not be amazing, if we could
learn a new language or skill in 2-3 minutes, just by downloading it into our
brains? According to Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google, it is
possible through Nanobots. These tiny robots, if implanted in our heads, help
us access and learn any new language, skill, or any information in just a few
minutes. Ray Kurzweil also predicts that, by 2030, humans will be able to
archive their thoughts and memories through Nanobots. In short, these tiny
robots will make us God-like! This AI advancement, if used positively, can do
great things, like improving human intelligence and treating conditions like
epilepsy.

Artificial Intelligence and Globalization
There are
limitless exciting possibilities! Artificial Intelligence will definitely do
wonders in the future, just like it is doing right now; it is like crafting our
own mind. Who would have thought that we will have advanced sensors? Who
envisioned that we will have smartphones? In recent years, we have achieved a
lot through artificial intelligence. In fact, AI has played a major role in
globalization; for instance, we have successfully established the platform of
outsourcing, and who can forget the social media that helped us connect with
different parts of the world. In the past, we had only one medium to know about
the world, television, but now we have social networks to get the real
statistics.

What can happen in the
Future?
No one can
predict the future, but, when it comes to artificial intelligence, it is highly
predictable that we will swiftly advance. Our life is nothing without
artificial intelligence, because we are addicted to the technology. Can you
live without a smartphone? No, and why would you, when you get benefits from
it? The same rules apply in the field of artificial intelligence; we now have
brains big enough to create intelligent machines for our comfort and
convenience. This concept is all about teaching the machines to learn, execute
certain tasks, solve problems, as well
as to become smart and intelligent. However, some AI studies suggest that
machines need to think for themselves, in order to succeed in the future;
basically, they need to self-direct certain tasks by using logic. The future of
AI is bright, as it has many benefits for humankind; however, the same have the
potential to ruin us. Some of the potential risks of future Artificial Intelligence
systems include minimal amounts of manual jobs, less privacy, and machine
dependency. Nevertheless, the benefits of AI will greatly outweigh its
disadvantages. We have adjusted in the past, we are adjusting with the
technology in the present, and we will surely adjust in the future, as
well. The Artificial Intelligence systems
of our future will change warfare, revolutionize disaster response,
international strategies, and other critical
areas of our lives

ReplyDeleteComment for TAUYANM.COM
Very informative. true, I am also amazed on how artificial intelligence becomes part of our daily lives. So excited of what will happen 10 years from now :)
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be interesting in the coming years. I know that these new developments are both good and bad.
ReplyDeleteArtificial Intelligence has come a long way. It's going to be a little creepy seeing cars drive by themselves. I don't know if I could totally trust a car driving by itself. I look at all the cool stuff that we have today. You can now see who is at your door from your cell phone when you are not home. That is pretty cool.
