Upcoming Breakthroughs In AI

We all have heard about artificial intelligence in movies and thought it was science fiction. But now we are witnessing major changes in many industries due to the advancement of AI. The uses of AI are in every industry like medicine, business, military, education, agriculture, and all others. Some major uses of AI in the industry can be predicted for the upcoming future.

 

Building non-human pattern recognition abilities

 

An AI named AlphaGo Zero has been recorded to play and win a game called Go for 100 times in a row with no defeat at all. The AI didn't learn by watching the human patterns but instead, it learned by playing with itself and learned complex patterns that he later used to defeat human players. AI learning on its own is a huge accomplishment and can be a major breakthrough for developing more complex AI than AlphaGo Zero.

 

AI use in medical fields

 

AI can be used in medicine and hospitals for the treatment of patients. AI, being a machine don't do mistakes that a human might do. It can be used to diagnose disease and suggesting a treatment to the patients based on the disease. AI can be used to perform complex surgeries where no error can occur and can be life-saving for a number of patients. AI can be used to compare data and make new drug discovery by analyzing outcomes and scenarios. AI can be used to formulate a proper course of treatment of diseases.

 

AI to do manual labor for us

 

With the invention of AI, it is possible for us to live a very relaxed life. We can see some driverless cars that are launched. They are fully automated and depends on AI for driving them. Since AI is a machine and can't do mistakes the chances of an accident is hugely reduced. Trucks and cars both can be driven by AI and in the near future, we might see only AI driving cars for us. AI robots can be used in restaurants to take orders and serve customers. It can be advantageous for the owner as he won't have to pay a weekly salary to employees anymore. AI is a better employee than a human employee because humans can get tired and bored. On the other hand, an AI will never get tired and keep proving a constant service to the customers. Similarly, AI can be used in the manufacturing industry to manufacture machines. Working in the manufacturing industry can be risky as one has to work with heavy machinery that can be risky. AI can be used in risky services like for fire rescue team, criminal defense, and building infrastructures. 

 

AI in providing security

 

AI can be used in the military and in the defense of our privacy. Cybersecurity has been a big concern in recent times. AI can be a blessing as it is a potential cure for hacking. AI can be designed to protect our network from being hacked. No human can be better in running algorithms than AI and an AI can defend the system properly from any sort of threats to the system. AI can be used in the military as well to secure sensitive information from being hacked. AI soldiers can be prepared for combat and dangerous operations to protect human lives.

 

Use of AI in daily life

 

Besides complex problem solving and handling security threats AI can be used merely to give us comfort. AI can be built for taking care of household chores, babysitting, driving, cooking and doing all the mundane tasks that we might be bored to do. The use of AI in everyday life can reduce the exhausting tasks that we have to do every day and we can live a much more comfortable life because of AI.

 

No doubt, AI can be a boon to humanity if used properly and the advancement in AI technology will surely bring a better future for us.
