What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is a field of computers that make it work smarter and efficiently is a way in which a computer, computer-driven software, a computer-driven robot thinks intelligently, A field of computers that can perceive, reason, learn, interact with the environment, solve problems and exercise efficiently making work easier. Unlike natural intelligence which is showcased by humans and animals, this is intelligence similarly demonstrated by machines the humans do, but lacking emotional quotient, Artificial Intelligence is a branch that is mainly divided into two major categories which are further classified into subcategories that are as follows:

Artificial Intelligence Type 1

• Reactive Machines

• Limited Memory

• Self-awareness

• Theory of Mind

Artificial Intelligence Type 2

• Narrow AI

• Strong AI

• General AI

History of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is not a new word for researchers. This technology is much older than one would imagine. With the myths of Mechanical men in Ancient Greek and Egyptian Myths such as Talos of creating to robots of Al-Jabari and Yan Shi.AI has been around since the mid of 1950s, Alan Turing published a paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” intending to create a machine that can mimic human intellect and behaviour. There were multiple inventions from the 1950s to the 1990s. But unfortunately, with many poor tests, experts believe That IBM ‘s Deep blue which defeated the chess champion, Garry Kasparov, in a chess game has left us amazed and gave rise to a range of Digital Transformation in the world. There were varying views On Artificial Intelligence which was seen as one of the biggest disruptive technology that would grow increasingly and will have a remarkable boom.

Artificial Intelligence: The future?

Like many other technological transformations, AI will bring a shift of paradigm in the way people think, live, and work today. These mega shifts will affect the sphere of Human Activity. The futurists say that within decades humanity will sit on top of technology, harness its power to solve humanity's most important challenges like disease, water, food, energy. This new lifestyle will be powered by Algorithms, technology, artificial intelligence, and IOTs. In the new global environment, the human race will have to adapt to human vs machine evolutionary relations. There will be an ideal future with exponential effect and Combinatorial Technology.

Today AI is viewed as a strategic technology that will accelerate economic growth and will play a crucial role in the development of nations. The Impact of AI can go beyond imagination in the future, From fabulous demonstration across pockets in research labs, start-ups, academia, and private Businesses. AI has become a collaborative technology where practitioners can live outside the human body and operate. Computers will exponentially become better at the understanding world. There will be fewer lawyers, nurses, teachers, etc and many professions will evolve in the future. Everything will be digitalized with Datafication of records, Automation of cars (Tesla), Disintermediation will remove traditional middlemen practices, Robotisation will soon do white-collar jobs, Anticipation will soon start predicting future behaviours, crimes, meteorological warnings, Business statistics, analysis, research will be screened and augmented in future.

Advantages of Artificial Intelligence

1. Artificial intelligence is being realized with the advances in deep learning. Big Data Analytics, Data Mining etc.

2. Smart Machines and software can perform tasks that we require from household chores to office work.

3. This Disruptive technology can usher benefits to the entire business value chain that can help to reduce time to market, process time, waste, inventory and related costs, post-sales, customized products, lower costs, etc.

4. AI will allow smartphones to learn, plan, and solve problems for users, Personal photographing, content censorship, provide advanced user experiences, etc it will not just make smartphones smarter but will also augment people by reducing their cognitive role.

5. Artificial Intelligence will bring a mega shift in the following fields like

• Transportation and Car automation

• Language Learning

• Bitcoin may be a drastic currency reserve

• Education – World-class access to everyone

• Alexa, Siri will be our talking buddies

• 3D printing will be the future of manufacturing

• Healthcare industries will gain huge benefits

• AI for Defence by using drones,

• Google Maps to travel anywhere, anyplace, anytime

Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence

1.Smarter Machines Smarter Technologies only work when used appropriately following the limits but the use of anything excess always becomes a bane. Some researchers believe that it will weaken our ability to calculate numbers with time. Many jobs will disappear in the future.

2. Technology boon is not something which we can undo or prevent, we should Embrace technology not be one in the process.

3. Human Interactions will decree over time since people will use language learning tools and interact with robots rather than interacting with humans. And unmediated conversations differ from speaking through an app or bot.

4. Human Augmentation can be a big-time disadvantage when our brain directly wants to connect to Google, clouds, websites, etc to search and find answers. Here we may lose the ability to think innovative, will be comfortable causing without using our ideas, thoughts, brains.

5. Our tools like Facebook, Linked In, social media sites are soon becoming platforms that are traded on the stock exchange with brands. These tools are earning billions of advertisings our data. Timeless concepts like privacy disappear

Conclusion

With the current trends and looking to the future needs, Artificial Intelligence is the big fish for entrepreneurs to expand businesses and are convinced that its not the future they are hoping to be it’s the present which they are living in. It is a super intelligent agent which surpasses the brightest human minds Today, AI is the key technological aspect which humans strive to achieve. This article states the advantages/ Disadvantages of the Artificial Importance. Who benefits from artificial intelligence? Who invented artificial intelligence? Is artificial intelligence the future? What artificial Intelligence is? and many more
