10 Wonderful Ways in Which Artificial Intelligence is Changing the World. Number 6 is Absolutely Stunning

In this day and age, everyone has heard about Artificial Intelligence (AI). It’s proven to be very controversial, even though it shouldn’t have been. The general populace still doesn’t understand what it truly represents. In their minds, they may even equate it to Skynet from the Terminator films.

But let’s avoid jumping to extreme conclusions. The technology hasn’t reached that stage yet. People need to better understand what AI truly represents and how it is changing the world. If it fulfills its true potential, it will be able to impact every facet of our lives.

First, let us dig deep into AI, Deep learning and Machine learning and how they are different from each other.

AI, ML & Deep learning

AI

While we all have some idea of what AI is, it is also describe into the more sophisticated term “ artificial general intelligence”. These powerful systems are capable of solving many difficult problems in an extremely fast and scalable manner.

ML

For most of us, the idea of ML(machine learning) may sound like a sci-fi concept, however, it has already been used in a broad variety of applications.

The most renowned example of machine learning would be the use of neural networks for face detection in the database. Or even to detect an increase in your employee productivity based on previous performance through employee time clock software.

This term interprets the idea of learning from mistakes so that the machines could be able to use previous data to avoid mistakes. Such as if a user looks at a webpage and see that the image doesn’t fit right there, or when you read some text on a blog and sees spelling mistakes. These small mistakes will be carried out by ML robots.

Deep Learning

Deep learning is basically a general-purpose AI-based computing method, that is used to classify data set as Interesting or uninteresting features.

An ML robot that learns to do mathematics and other calculation by itself. This process has become popular with the term deep neural networks based on complex math principles. This system is able to find hidden patterns in huge data. Such as finding the frequency of a few letters in written text. This phenomenon is called backpropagation and takes a lot of human power. Deep learning is more like a supercharged brain.

How AI is changing the world

Now that we have gone through different disciplines of artificial intelligence. Let’s see how AI is already making a huge impact on our lives and is changing the world.

1. Contribution of AI in Emails

Intelligent Replies in Gmail

With the aid of AI, intelligent replies offer the user an option to respond to their email with simple expressions such as “Yes, I’m already on it.” with a single tap. These smart replies are customized to the text of each mail.

Mail Filters

Gmail is currently using AI to make sure that we get only authentic emails. This AI-based filter sort email in different categories such as Primary, social, promotions, updates, forums, and spam.

This feature helps us to find relevant emails quicker.

2. AI aiding the web searches

AI has been helping Google to improve its search results for quite a while.

Predictive search result

When you start typing and google provides with its suggestions, that is the work of AI. Google’s prediction is basically the result of your previous searches and the data that Googe has collected about you including demographics and location. With the help of that data search engine tries to find out what you are trying to look for.

Search Algorithm

Search engines evolve over time by learning the lexical that used in searches. Its ML algorithm learns from the results you click on and adapts over time better search results tailored for the user.

3. Improving Online Shopping Experience

Many other online retailers and Amazon take help from AI algorithms to know about our buying conventions. They personalize our feed by suggesting new products specifically based on our searches and habits of shopping. Amazon even uses AI to store its products close to possible consumers to cut down the delivery time.

4. Recognizing Language

Through deep learning, machines are now able to distinguish vernaculars. The first program will detect the language that is being used by the user and after the dialect is detected another AI bot will step in to communicate with that person or user.

5. Aiding the Text Generation

A deep learning machine learns the grammar, punctuation, and style of the text and uses it to create an entirely new text with enhanced vocabulary. You can even provide an example of the style of text including everything from Shakespeare to Wikipedia.

6. Computer Vision

Deep learning a subdivision of AI is able to deliver precise image classification, image restoration, object detection, and image segmentation. DL has also contributed to recognizing handwriting. With the use of neural networks, machines are being taught to automate tasks that were only previously possible by human visual systems.

7. Image Caption

One more impressive ability of deep learning is to identify an image and add a sound caption with the proper structure for the image just a person would write.

8. Music Recommendations 

Music apps such as Spotify uses AI to trace our listening habits. Based on this data that recommends music suggestions. Such as Google Play offers music based on your weather condition and time of the day to set to mood for activities. For example, you see hip-hop recommendations on Friday and indie music when it’s raining in your area.

9. Direction suggestions

When Google maps calculate traffic and provide you with the finest routes, that’s AI at work. Google also tracks down your usual spots, at what time you reach there and what time you leave using time monitoring software mechanism, even if you are offline, and uses this information to fill your shopping feed.

10. AI-Powered Airlines

It might sound surprising that our pilots in the cockpit don’t contribute much in flying flights. A pilot reported in a survey that he spent 7 minutes on manually flying the Boeing777 flight, the rest was done by AI machines.

Now Boeing is working on complete human-less cockpits, these jetliners will be completely run by artificial intelligence.
