How Is AI Technology Advancing?

The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our everyday lives is growing exponentially. AI-enabled cars and chat bots are the two most popular examples, but technology is advancing at a rapid pace and we can expect to see many more such examples in the future.

5 Ways Artificial Intelligence is Changing the World

It’s always exciting to see big technology change the world. Artificial intelligence is no exception, and it’s propelling a number of important advancements that have significant ramifications for humanity. Here are five ways AI is changing the world.

1. Better healthcare

The advancements made by artificial intelligence are making it possible to detect diseases before they manifest themselves in many cases, with some techniques being so accurate that doctors can prescribe – even diagnose – illness months in advance. Such tools have just returned positive cancer results 59% of the time compared with 31% using conventional methods. While medicine has always been able to manage disease when testing reveals no signs of it, AI Company can spot changes in lifestyle that are indicative of disease. For instance, patients at high risk for Pancreatic Cancer have undergone genetic analysis between 2009 and 2014 to accurately predict which people will develop the illness by midlife.

2. More personalized medicine

Many diseases affect countless individuals almost identically, but age, gender, and diet create considerable variability during treatment. This means very disparate treatments could be given to people who are very similar. The more closely the “average” person resembles a disease patient, and the greater effectiveness can be achieved at a minimal cost. An ideal candidate for personalized medicine would represent all of the characteristics that are typical for an affected individual, rather than just one or two.

3. Smarter farming and agriculture

Artificial intelligence is already leading us into a golden age of smart farming in terms of both productivity and sustainability, enabling sensors, visual recognition, and machine learning to increase yields without adding any more staff. Looking at crops alone, yield increases can be up to 40% for certain types, provided the right amount of soil is present during planting too. For instance, corn farmers can use digital analytics to estimate how quickly fields are growing based on monthly satellite images that show both crop growth normal patterns as well as abnormalities via various algorithms.

4. Smart cities

More than 2 billion people live greater than 50km away from the nearest airport, suggesting how many more cities could improve their infrastructure with artificial intelligence. This is especially true in energy conservation where cameras, satellites, and various sensors help desk monitor consumption patterns. Using these insights combined with urban heat maps, algorithms can be used to identify city spaces that are excessively warm or cool at given times of day leading to increased efficiency for heating or cooling.

5. Health care delivery

With fully automated smart health care systems, we could see hospitals and clinics through the lens of artificial intelligence. For instance, if a hospital determines that patient X has routine medical needs, it would calculate those needs once per day by looking at their patterns over months, including any recent changes such as new medications or procedures. These routines can then be repeated indefinitely to reduce repetition for treatments like annual check-ups along with an increased likelihood that follow-up tests would detect any relevant changes.

Conclusion

The topic of artificial intelligence is a hot one right now. In the past few years, we’ve seen several significant developments in this area, from advancements in language processing to improvements in facial recognition and voice recognition.
