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 notable how artificial intelligence is
growing. The ability to learn and adapt to its environment can prove to be
a game changer in how computers work. For instance, autonomous vehicle manufacturers such as tesla and many more use multiple sensors, whether sonar or
optical, to take in its environment and through an artificial intelligence it
decides if it needs to speed up, slow down, change lanes, etc. But that is just
one use of artificial intelligence in action, there are many others.
Whilst AI is software-based its main use is to control
robotics. A simple example of this currently being used would be a Roomba. The
small vacuum moves in forward until it bumps into a wall which tells it to
turn and go in another direction until the room is clean or the battery runs
low to return to the docking station. A more complex example of this would be a
full-fledged humanoid robot. Imagine this, you're twenty years into the future
and you walk into a nursing home. You'll most likely see many robots using AI
to take care of the patients. Their AI would be able to take care of the
patients and their needs by learning and adapting to the needs of the patients
around them. Whether that be keeping track of a patient's needs like keeping
them healthy or helping them get around. They would also be able to monitor the
vitals of the patient and use their knowledge to decide whether they need to
take a pill or if they are at increased risk of something like heat stroke
because they were outside all day.
Another amazing use for AI is surgeries. Robots are the
future of surgeries; they are much more precise than the way traditional
surgeries are accomplished. Take the DaVinci machine at the University of Pennsylvania
hospital, it uses robots to assist surgeons during operations. It's precision
and accuracy cut down on recovery time and has helped many people with very
complex surgeries. Now imagine cutting out the doctor and replacing it with an
AI, able to adapt to the situation, make life-changing decisions in
milliseconds and has more knowledge than most doctors due to having an entire
database of medical information at its disposal which it can recall to any of
it as fast as it needs.
In conclusion, AI is the future of technology and will revolutionize many aspects of our life. From the way we drive to the way that we function at our older ages. The combined power of knowledge and machine learning can lead to endless possibilities and ways for it to be used.
