Artificial Intelligence



WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?
          Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a digital computer system to perform tasks which require intelligence as compared to Natural Intelligence displayed by Humans. It is also defined as the study and making of "Intelligent Agents". Artificial Intelligence makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform Human tasks. Most AI examples today are Self Driving Cars, Chess playing computers which rely heavily on deep learning and natural processing. Computers can be trained to accomplish specific tasks by processing large amounts of data and recognizing patterns in the data. Officially the term Artificial Intelligence was coined in 1956 but it became possible with the advancement of technology and has become much popular today. Compared to humans AI lacks many features like common sense, reasoning, perspective and most commonly Creativity like humans have.

IMPORTANCE OF AI
          In the modern world AI has become an important field of technology and also brings the idea of an Error free World. It reduces human effort and also give better results than human work. AI is assisted to many industries, hospitals and many retail stores. AI adds intelligence to existing products. Products you already use are improved with AI capabilities, much like Siri, Cortana, Alexa and Google Assistant are added as a feature to new generation smart phones and other products. AI performs frequent, high volume, computerized tasks reliable without failure. AI achieves incredible accuracy through deep networks which previously was not possible. Its accuracy depends on the data you provide. You need lots of data to train deep learning models because they learn directly from the data, the more data you can feed them the more accurate they become. AI has become important in almost every field of modern world and has a very detailed explanation.

          Every industry has a high demand for AI. Using the machine for the work gives you accurate results. AI is being given a lot of importance as it can be used in many fields like
MEDICINE
AI technology changes the face of medical science. AI is used for creating personal health assistants, for research and analytics. Now a days we are able to find Health care bots which are very reliable and helpful for people with serious health issues. AI is used to fix and manage all the appointments and operations and also to track a patient's progress. It is used to create routine and diet plans for patients. AI has the capability of detecting problems, it is widely used in clinical situations for diagnosing, treating and predicting the results. AI can manage medical records of the hospital, patients and other data. AI can also study a patient's medical history and design a treatment pattern for the better results. It can also be used in creating new antibiotics, drugs and other medicines.

BANKS AND FINANCIAL SYSTEMS
Banks are using AI technology to handle customers and give them quick solutions. It is able to handle works like financial operations, investing money and managing many other works. AI is proved to be better than humans in doing all such jobs and thus plays an important role. It is also used for security purposes and make banks safer and secure for people to deposit their money. AI is also used for handling financial data and accounts for a better user experience. It can allow a bank to authenticate a mobile payment using a fingerprint, passcode or voice recognition. It can also be used to detect frauds and provide full security.

MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
Manufacturing industries are the first to use Artificial Intelligence. AI is used to analyze products and monitor the work being carried on in the factory/Industry. Starting from the production from raw materials to finally shipping the manufactured products, it can handle all the works without needing any manual help. Robotic parts controlled by AI are used in factories to assemble and work with different parts and also to pack and move them. It can handle all the records and is used to create reports of the progress of a company on a timely basis. In this matter they are much more efficient and faster than humans. They are able to handle situations which require intelligence and give better solutions.

ROBOTICS
Robots were originally suited for unskilled tasks and only perform the programmed actions. However, the latest generation of robots are benefited from the AI research. Robots can now interact with the environment, learn and understand new things. By this move, the requirement of AI robots has increased a lot. Numerous features are added to robots like increased safety, reasoning, problem solving, handling situations...etc and they totally rely on AI. Robots were just ordinary machines with only specified usage without the interference of AI. It is believed that the world in the next generations will be ruled by AI robots and their usage will be much more increased.

SPORTS AND GAMES
AI has changed the world of sports, it is now being used in many sports as umpires to observe and make decisions in tough situations. AI is beginning to play a key role making wearables that can track performance of athletes, improve their training and in maintaining their fitness. Computer and TV games got more development and updates in their fields. Gaming Bots are introduced and you don't have to wait for other players to play with you. Mind games are also included, now you can select the difficulty level of your opponent and can have tough competition and have a better gaming experience.

TRANSPORT
AI is most useful in transport. Self-driving cars are being made for more safer driving. People who can't drive no longer need a driver for them. One of the most systematic transport is Air transport and without AI it is not possible to survive. Planes have Auto-pilot mode which automatically enables and handles the flight when any problem is occurred. Transportation based on AI technologies is much efficient and different softwares are being designed on the AI platform to give passengers a better and safe journey.

CHALLENGES FACED BY AI
          AI is a technology that can change the world, Change the way of how people work. It is expanding day by day and has got many advancements over the years but still it encounters many hurdles which it cannot cross today, some of them are mentioned below
BUILDING TRUST
AI lies on the technical side of the world. People are refusing to use it because they are unaware of its working and are not ready to trust it. People find it difficult to understand, its a basic fact that people neglect what they don't understand. Sometimes people don't feel comfortable by the decisions that are made by AI as they don't understand the logic and concept behind it. In some cases AI takes decisions depending upon the current situations, that decision might be the best for the current problems but it might create problems in the future, we humans take decisions keeping in mind about the current scenario, past events and also what effect the decision can make in the future, also we care about people's emotions whenever making a tough decision. So for AI to build trust among humans is a biggest challenge and it might be very helpful if it succeeds in building it's trust.
INVESTMENT
Because of some certain disadvantages business owners and investors are not willing to invest in AI. AI research requires lots of funds to set up, implement and testing it, thus the amount needed is very high. Though some huge companies like Microsoft, Google..etc are investing millions in it but it is still not sufficient for the assets. Investors should know that it can make huge profits if it gets succeeded in overcoming the challenges and they are the ones who will be benefited from it. Well, slowly companies are showing interests towards it and it might be possible that it may overcome this hurdle in the coming years.
HIGHER EXPECTATIONS
This is one of the serious issues with AI. As people don't know much about it's work their expectations levels are higher. They want AI to do everything they want which is not possible. Humans have a tendency to have higher expectations from something that is trending in the market and also need excellent outputs. However like any technology AI has certain limitations. Since advancements are going on experts say that AI can overcome this in the coming years. As a matter of fact, AI has seen much hype in the market but it is still in it's initial stages.
AI CAN'T REPLACE EVERY TASK
From the starting point of its time, AI is believed to do all the possible tasks the humans can perform, small or big ones in a very less time, this can be true till some extent. AI can't perform each and every task, it is much like a tool that helps complete tasks with ease. It can boost productivity and reduce much of the labor work and also save time. It can perform all the worldly tasks that are being taken up by machines, but tasks which require humans are not fully taken up by AI. This is the main reason that is causing all other problems and AI is unable to take a hold in the market.

CONCLUSION
          AI Technology is becoming a part of everyone's life in the modern world and there's much more to come. It reduces stress and pressure and manages its tasks efficiently. But how much the technology advances humans cannot create something like us. You may think that AI can replace humans, No it can replace jobs and works but it can never replace humans. Humankind is the creator of machines and they are always meant to serve us. AI can never have such Abilities that humans possess like Love, Emotions, Imagination, Creativity, etc...
