Applications of artificial intelligence

  • click to rate

    To date, there are practically no areas of human activity in which automation of any processes is not used. Many works and processes that were previously performed only with the participation of a person are now performed by machines and mechanisms in a partially or fully automated mode. Every year the scale of automation only increases. First of all, automation is possible thanks to the development of artificial intelligence. The use of various artificial intelligence systems is closely related to the following main features:

    • The ability to optimize most of the activities and processes that were previously performed by a person. For example, automatic metal processing on machine tools.
    • The ability to process and analyze large amounts of data and perform settlement operations with a huge amount of data.
    • The absence of the influence of human emotions: changes in mood, physical condition and other factors inherent in man.

    Thus, the scope of artificial intelligence is not limited. At aishaker you will find many tools with artificial intelligence.

    The specifics of the use of artificial intelligence

    The nuances of the use of artificial intelligence depend on the characteristics and features of the operation of each particular system. But along with this, one can single out a general feature of its application, inherent in almost every area. This is the presence of system errors. This feature cannot be neglected, therefore, even with full coverage of a particular area by artificial intelligence, human participation is necessary during its work. This point is important in almost every area where there is a need to make important decisions. For example, in medicine, where the focus is on human life and health. In the transport sector, where there is a risk of an accident on the road.

    Areas of use of artificial intelligence

    Despite the fact that artificial intelligence has been used relatively recently, today it has found application in many areas of production and human activity, even where its use until recently seemed simply impossible. Let's consider vivid examples of its application, which already take place today and are planned in the near future.

    Medicine

    Good memory and the ability to process a large amount of data, analyzing them and sampling the necessary information, are important characteristics of artificial intelligence. It is these characteristics that contributed to its introduction in the field of medicine. This is how Google's DeepMind Heals system, IBM's Watson system works. They are used to identify the likelihood of diseases of patients in the early stages. Doctors turn to them for advice. It is mainly used in the field of oncology, but it is planned to expand its use in other areas of medicine.

    Artificial intelligence is used by both doctors and patients. Telemedicine and its various applications are gaining wide popularity. Various methods of interaction are used, for example, attaching sensors (for example, fitness bracelets) to the patient and reading information from them, using questionnaires and issuing probable diagnoses based on answers, as well as treatment recommendations. Such applications often work with speech or message recognition.

    The most common applications of this kind are Your  and Ada. They are available on Google Play and the App Store.

    Industry 

    In industrial production, all processes are being automated at a rapid pace, even in some companies the influence of the human factor is completely excluded. For example, LG plans to launch a production line in 2023, where everything is fully automated and controlled by an artificial intelligence system, which will control everything from the purchase of consumables to quality control of goods and their shipment to the end consumer. In addition, artificial intelligence will control the wear of spare parts and fixed assets, as well as other important parameters that will be set.

    Agriculture

    In the field of agriculture, the use of artificial intelligence is caused by the need to control the humidity and temperature of air and soil, the presence of the required concentration of fertilizers, the development of plants and their general care. For example, machines already know how to detect harmful plants and remove them by pulling them out of the soil without harming the plants being grown. Agricultural systems are able to detect plant diseases, deliver the necessary medicines for their treatment. This saves the consumption of pesticides and herbicides.

    Transport sector

    In developed countries, the artificial intelligence system is used to regulate the movement of urban transport and solve problems with urban traffic jams. For example, an artificial intelligence system is already being used, in particular to regulate traffic in cities with a large road network and on main highways. The intelligence system uses and processes data from traffic lights, traffic intensity, weather conditions and other factors that affect the speed and intensity of traffic. By analyzing this data, the system works optimally and switches traffic lights at the right time.
