Artificial intelligence is the future of technology and how we perceive it. With the recent influx of personal assistants from places like Amazon’s Echo and Google’s Home, it’s remarkable how artificial intelligence is growing. With the ability to learn and adapt to your environment, it can be a game changer in how computers work. For example, autonomous vehicles, manufacturers like tesla and many more use multiple sensors, whether sonar or optical, to capture their surroundings and using artificial intelligence to decide if they need to accelerate, slow down, change lanes, etc. But that’s just one use of artificial intelligence in action, there are many others.
While AI is software-based, its primary use is to control robotics. A simple example of this that is currently in use would be a Roomba. The little vacuum cleaner moves forward until it hits a wall that tells it to turn around and go the other direction until the room is clean or the battery runs out to get back to the docking station. A more complex example of this would be a full-blown humanoid robot. Imagine this, you are twenty years in the future and you walk into a nursing home. You will most likely see many robots using AI to care for patients. Your AI could take care of patients and their needs by learning and adapting to the needs of the patients around them. Whether it’s to keep track of a patient’s needs, keep them healthy, or help them move. They could also monitor the patient’s vital signs and use their knowledge to decide if they need to take a pill or if they are at higher risk for something like heat stroke because they were outside all day.
Another surprising use of AI is in surgeries. Robots are the future of surgery; they are much more accurate than the way traditional surgeries are performed. Take the DaVinci machine at the University of Pennsylvania hospital, use robots to assist surgeons during operations. Its precision and accuracy reduce recovery time and it has helped many people with very complex surgeries. Now imagine eliminating the doctor and replacing him with an AI, capable of adapting to the situation, making life-changing decisions in milliseconds, and more knowledgeable than most doctors due to having a comprehensive database of medical information at his command. provision that you can remember any of them as quickly as you need.
In conclusion, AI is the future of technology and it will revolutionize many aspects of our lives. From the way we drive to the way we function in our old age. The combined power of knowledge and machine learning can lead to endless possibilities and ways to use it.
