How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the World
Technology is evolving continuously, and every technological innovation is offering vast benefits for humankind. One of the most powerful technologies to emerge in recent times is AI or Artificial Intelligence. AI has been used for some time, but its true power is being harnessed now. AI has already started to be used for revolutionary innovations.
There is no doubt that AI is going to change the world as we now it. In the future, AI would be used in every single sphere of life and would make a significant impact on our lives. We look at how AI is changing our world.
What is AI?
In simple terms, Artificial intelligence is equipping machines with intelligence to be able to think like humans do. AI involves using computers to be able to simulate intelligence just like humans to do various tasks. There can be robots that work using AI with the ability to do things that humans do. They can also do things that humans find it difficult to do.
How AI is benefitting humankind?
Artificial Intelligence is offering huge benefits to humans. There is a fear that AI will replace humans. But this is not really true. AI can do many things, but it needs humans to program it and run it smoothly. AI working along with humans can bring around major changes in the world. The benefits of AI listed below will help you understand how it is changing the world.
1) AI commits no errors
Humans commit errors and these errors can be costly. But AI cannot err (as long as it is programmed properly). This allows AI to be used for many common tasks that humans do. This would ensure work is done without errors. For example, AI can be used to automate data entry and data processing. It can be used as a digital assistant to do many executive jobs without mistakes.
2) Can make decisions
AI makes decisions just like humans do. It can examine various scenarios and evaluate them to arrive at a decision. The advent of machine learning has ensured AI can learn from the past. It can learn from mistakes and correct itself. This is very beneficial since humans tend to get affected by emotions while taking decisions. AI would do it in a rational way. For eg: an AI-powered car deciding when to apply the brake.
3) Does not get tired
Humans get physically and mentally tired. This affects productivity. It can also make them commit mistakes. Too much of repetitive work and work pressure can make humans break down, affecting work. AI does not need rest, nor does it get tired. Using AI ensures repetitive work can be automated and can go on non-stop. This saves a lot of time and human effort.
4) Powerful applications in medicine
AI can be used in the world of medicine. AI systems can scan through data and make diagnoses. Robots powered by AI can be even used for surgeries. The surgery can be done in a precise way. It is beneficial in scenarios like removing a tumor without causing any damage to the nerves and tissues.
5) Useful in risky scenarios
There are many risky situations where AI can be used. Since it is a machine, there is no risk involved other than physical damage to the machine. AI robots can be sent under the sea, to space, or even in environments where there is risk. This is helpful as it reduces risks for humans who have to face danger in such situations.
6) Modern use of AI
AI is being used to drive cars. Self-driven cars are powered by AI. Alexa and Siri are popular. They are AI assistants that listen to voice commands and execute them precisely. AI can even be used to generate photos and even make videos. An AI tool can create stock images of anything that can be used by content creators. The AI tool Chat GPT has taken the world by storm. It can search for information and provide answers with great accuracy and speed. This is a boon for content creators, researchers, and students.
AI can be even used to write books and also make movies. AI is being used in Smart Homes where sensors can control devices and respond to voice commands. It can be used to make homes more secure. AI is being used in education to ensure education is made accessible to people anywhere in the world. AI can be used in cybersecurity to secure systems from hackers.
