Dear Friends,
I don’t think I need to introduce you to the term Artificial Intelligence.
The concept is progressing with time.
No matter whether we are talking about healthcare, entertainment, digital marketing, banking, or anything else, Artificial Intelligence has made its sweet spot.
I am here to throw some light on how Artificial Intelligence has changed and is still changing our day-to-day lives.
Let’s kickoff –
Healthcare
Our ancestors had faced such times when a mere cough and cold used to be a deadly disease for them.
However, as time passed and technology evolved, we have reached a stage where the life of mankind can be saved from life-threatening, dangerous diseases like cancer.
Of course, Artificial Intelligence has given a significant contribution to bringing us to this level.
Today, the diagnosis of any disease in the human body is a walk in the park. All thanks go to Artificial Intelligence.
The innovative scanning systems, ultrasound machines, etc. whatever we are leveraging now, all are the blessings endowed by Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence not only helps in the diagnosis of a disease but also helps in quick treatment and recovery.
Example :
- Radiology i.e. a collection of different tests capable of taking images of different body parts for better diagnosis and treatment. These include x-ray, MRI, Ultrasound, CT scan, etc.
- Automation of administrative stuff.
- Robotic surgery
Weather Forecasting
Performing accurate weather forecasting used to be a tough nut to crack in the past.
However, the introduction of Artificial Intelligence technology transformed many forecasting chores into a breeze.
This forecasting is super helpful in preventing the disasters and losses caused due to hazardous weather conditions.
It also gives a chance to the farmers to understand the upcoming weather thoroughly and plan their actions accordingly.
Example :
Forecasting excessive rainfall and upcoming storms
Manufacturing
The use of machines in the manufacturing process is an old practice now.
It helps manufacturers to diminish their production costs and minimize the number of flaws.
When Artificial Intelligence technology is embedded in machines, the machines become more smart and independent which speeds up the production process.
As a result, Artificial Intelligence became the technology of honor behind all the innovative changes occurring in the manufacturing industry in recent times.
Examples :
- Better inventory management with the help of AI-powered demand forecasting tools.
- Optimization of manufacturing processes with the help of AI-powered process mining tools.
- Price prediction of raw material with the help of AI-empowered Kantify software.
- Industrial robotics to perform many tedious tasks with a negligible number of errors.
Entertainment
One of the prominent industries in which Artificial Intelligence has given a significant contribution is the entertainment industry.
The remarkable contribution of Artificial Intelligence to the gaming platforms has made the gaming experience more interactive and innovative.
The commencement of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality devices has given the chance to the users to enjoy playing games in such a virtual space that largely looks real.
All the credit behind this goes to Artificial Intelligence of course.
Examples :
- Netflix uses AI algorithms to understand the user’s interests and serves them with the other options relevant to their area of interest.
- Video intelligence tools recognize the pictures that are particular to your business requirements.
Navigation
There was a time when people were scared of stepping towards new and unfamiliar locations as the possibilities of getting lost in the way were very high.
However, with the evolution of GPS systems, finding and driving towards a new location became a matter of minutes.
The powerful GPS system enables you to roam around any city or any location across the world without any fear of getting lost.
The reason behind this is none other than Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence has made the process of booking tickets, placing online orders, and tracking the progress of the same very easy.
Examples :
- Train scheduling and management.
- Booking train tickets.
Security
The GPS system incorporated by Artificial Intelligence helps law professionals to track the location of the criminals and catch them with ease.
In addition to this, voice recognition capability consolidated by Artificial Intelligence diminished the possibilities of online attacks like hacking and stealing of data.
This anticipation helps people to understand the upcoming dangers and take necessary protective measures. Hence, Artificial Intelligence serves as a way towards better disaster management.
Examples:
- CompStat started by New York police for better security and crime prevention.
- Machine learning algorithms in cybersecurity to automatically discover and examine security incidents.
Data Management
One of the important assets of any organization that requires extra care and management is its user’s data.
As a user shares its personal data with an organization in very good faith, it becomes the utmost duty of the organization to handle it cautiously. Any negligence in the same can lead to a diminished reputation and market value of the organization.
Artificial intelligence has played a significant role in this respect as well.
Examples :
- It has helped developers, in fact, is helping developers to create complex databases for better storage, management, and retrieval of their user’s data.
- Artificial Intelligence also helps organizations to better understand their customer preferences and forecast upcoming trends.
Smartphones
Mobile devices are now incorporated with more enhanced features and functionalities due to Artificial Intelligence.
Example :
- How many of you have used the portrait mode feature of your smartphone while clicking a picture?
- I am sure many.
- To your surprise, you can do this only because of Artificial Intelligence.
- Do you use Google Assistant to have a conversational interaction with Google like voice search?
- Artificial Intelligence is behind that too.
Miscellaneous Applications
Above are just a few specific areas, however, there are many more already impacted by Artificial Intelligence.
Although we cannot have a detailed discussion on each one of them, let’s take a few
- By introducing the latest and innovative teaching techniques, Artificial Intelligence has made education and learning more powerful.
- By allowing customers to track their orders and know the exact date and time of delivery, Artificial Intelligence has made the eCommerce business more reliable.
- By introducing the facilities like Artificial Intelligence-powered chatbots, sentiment analysis, better understanding and analysis of data, etc. Artificial Intelligence has made internet marketing even more powerful.
- Google search has become an indispensable part of our day to day life. Did you think what is making Google search the entire internet and present you with the required stuff? Of course Artificial Intelligence.
- We all are fond of using social media and can’t live even a single day without checking our social media account. What is making these social media platforms to run so perfectly? Yes, you guessed it right. Artificial Intelligence.
and the list goes on…
Close Up
Artificial Intelligence is here to stay and will stay for a long time for sure.
The current contribution of Artificial Intelligence to mankind’s life is indeed impressive.
However, Artificial Intelligence is expected to become more and more vigorous with time. We don’t know where this technology is going to take us.
Will Artificial Intelligence have adverse effects on our lives from an employment perspective or it is going to be a boon for us.
Well, we are not in a position to give certain answers to these questions now.
So, guys, let’s keep our fingers crossed and wait for the best!
