What is artificial intelligence (AI) ?

Artificial intelligence is a technology that mimics human intelligence, allowing computer applications to learn from experience via iterative processing and algorithmic training.  AI gets smarter each time it processes data because each interaction allows the system to test and measure solutions and develop expertise in the task it’s been set to accomplish. Since AI machines can work at a much faster rate than humans, they can become experts in a matter of days or weeks, which makes them incredibly effective options for any process requiring intelligent decision making. This makes AI an incredibly powerful, and extremely valuable technology, since it essentially allows computers to think and behave like humans, but at much faster speeds and with much more processing power than the human brain can produce. In many cases and for a variety of different applications, AI systems are capable of significantly outperforming humans, and that’s the primary reason why AI technology has become so important to the modern economy.

The future of AI ?

In the pseudo sci-fi scenarios detailed above an unnamed device facilitated the bespoke AI experiences. That’s by design. It’s not necessarily a smartphone, although it could be. Or it may be something else. Or several different gadgets. The reality is we don’t yet know what these devices will be, but some interesting forms are emerging. Startup Humane is building a pin-like microdevice that you affix to your pocket and control with voice and hand gestures via a laser display projected on the palm of your hand. Rather than feature apps, it offers AI experiences. Rewind.ai and Tab meanwhile are building wearable AI assistants. Regardless of the forms, it’s clear that personalized agents and AI wearables mark the next evolution of digital services and congress. Smartphones may evolve into ambient devices as keystroke functionality cedes interface control to voice-controlled agents and laser projectors. What also remains to be seen is where and how these personalized agents with their attendant AI experiences run.

What is Machine Learning?

Machine learning is a set of methods that computer scientists use to train computers how to learn. Instead of giving precise instructions by programming them, they give them a problem to solve and lots of examples (i.e., combinations of problem and solution) to learn from. For example, a computer may be given the task of identifying photos of cats and photos of trucks. For humans, this is a simple task, but if we had to make an exhaustive list of all the different characteristics of cats and trucks so that a computer could recognize them, it would be very hard. Similarly, if we had to trace all the mental steps we take to complete this task, it would also be difficult (this is an automatic process for adults, so we would likely miss some step or piece of information). Instead, ML teaches a computer in a way similar to how toddlers learn: by showing the computer a vast amount of pictures labelled as “cat” or “truck”, the computer learns to recognize the relevant features that constitute a cat or a truck. From that point onwards, the computer can recognize trucks and cats from photos it has never “seen” before (i.e., photos that were not used to train the computer).

Where is AI used?

Health For starters, they’ll assist health-care personnel make better use of their time by handling activities such as filing insurance claims, dealing with paperwork, and generating notes from doctor’s visits. I anticipate much innovation in this area. Other AI-driven advancements will be especially crucial in poor nations, where the great majority of children under the age of five die. For example, many people in those nations never see a doctor, and AIs will make the health staff who do see them more productive. (The endeavor to produce AI-powered ultrasound equipment that can be utilized with minimal training is exec

Education Computers haven’t had the effect on education that many of us in the industry have hoped. There have been some good developments, including educational games and online sources of information like Wikipedia, but they haven’t had a meaningful effect on any of the measures of students’ achievement. But I think in the next five to 10 years, AI-driven software will finally deliver on the promise of revolutionizing the way people teach and learn. It will know your interests and your learning style so it can tailor content that will keep you engaged. It will measure your understanding, notice when you’re losing interest, and understand what kind of motivation you respond to. It will give immediate feedback. There are many ways that AIs can assist teachers and administrators, including assessing a student’s understanding of a subject and giving advice on career planning. Teachers are already using tools like ChatGPT to provide comments on their students’ writing assignments. Of course, AIs will need a lot of training and further development before they can do things like understand how a certain student learns best or what motivates them. Even once the technology is perfected, learning will still depend on great relationships between students and teachers. It will enhance—but never replace—the work that students and teachers do together in the classroom
