WHAT'S AI?
The term artificial intelligence was coined in 1956, but AI has become more popular today thanks to increased data volumes, advanced algorithms, and improvements in computing power and storage.
Long before Siri or Cortana were household names, my father discovered what artificial intelligence was and was intrigued by it. Later on, he shared his love for AI with me, and I found out just how vital it is in daily life.
Every industry has a high demand for AI capabilities – especially question answering systems that can be used for legal assistance, patent searches, risk notification and medical research.
I BELIEVE AI CAN MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
AI applications can provide personalized medicine and X-ray readings in the healthcare industry. Personal health care assistants can act as life coaches, reminding you to take your pills, exercise or eat healthier.
It can also provide virtual shopping capabilities that offer personalized recommendations and discuss purchase options with the consumer in retail. Stock management and site layout technologies will also be improved with AI.
AI can analyze factory IoT (information of technology) data as it streams from connected equipment to forecast expected load and demand using recurrent networks, a specific type of deep learning network used with sequence data.
SPECIALIZED SYSTEMS
In sports, artificial intelligence is used to capture images of gameplay and provide coaches with reports on how to better organize the game, including optimizing field positions and strategy.
Artificial intelligence could change millions of lives, and that's the reason I'm so fascinated by it. However, these systems are very, very specialized. They are focused on a single task and are far from behaving like humans, as of now. There are tons of exciting developments in AI on a daily basis, and I'm content to be a part of it.
Currently, I'm experimenting and working on my personal AI project to add deep-learning models with the help of Python's pip package system, low-powered computer Raspberry Pi, and Google's TensorFlow artificial-intelligence framework.
