With every day that passes, artificial intelligence grows more popular. The applications for it are endless. If you have been following AI’s production and development, then you will already know that it is being integrated into many different industries, from trucking to SEO marketing. The use of AI is threatening the jobs of millions of Americans, because companies are finding that it is much cheaper, and more effective, to employ AI in their daily activities than it is to hire full-time staff.
This post will tell you about a few reasons why artificial intelligence is getting more popular:
Automation
AI is becoming very popular with business owners because it allows them to automate complex administrative tasks. So far, artificial intelligence eliminated 1.8 million jobs, but that figure is expected to grow exponentially over the coming years. The reason for this is that artificial intelligence is still being worked on and improved. The tasks that it can complete so far are not as advanced as the tasks that software developers are hoping it will be able to, such as fully automated cars. Unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence is not very popular among employees that are going to lose their jobs. In order for them to continue working, a good idea might be to make a switch and start working in the artificial intelligence industry, which is growing.
Profitability
The main reason why artificial intelligence is becoming very popular with business owners is that it is making it easier for them to make a profit. Artificial intelligence is making businesses more profitable because it is augmenting human labor. Businesses are able to get the same amount of work done (if not more) but don’t have to employ full-time staff. If they have designed their own artificial intelligence software or system, then they won’t have to pay for that, either. This allows them to significantly increase their overall profits.
Robotics
The robotics sector has been utilizing artificial intelligence to create highly advanced robots. The concept of highly advanced robots has been something that tech fans have been fantasizing over for many decades now. Thanks to artificial intelligence, they are no longer a fantasy, they are a reality. Robots are being offered to consumers and businesses. In the industrial sector, robots are used for manufacturing and production. In the commercial sector, robots are sold to consumers to aid in household chores and even to provide companionship, which will be addressed in greater detail towards the end of this post.
Healthcare
Artificial intelligence is also being used by healthcare professionals, to outstanding effect. Its integration increases the ability of healthcare professionals to understand their patient’s daily needs. It can also be used to give consumers the ability to take control of their healthcare needs. Life science companies are also making use of artificial intelligence to prepare and compile data more concisely. Data collection is a very important part of life sciences, so being able to collect it in a more efficient way significantly improves the way that they do their jobs and the service that they provide.
Military
The military has been using artificial intelligence to improve their machinery, munitions, and performance for many years. The types of artificial intelligence that are used (and how they are used) are unfortunately confidential. One thing that the military has been willing to share, is that they have been using deep-learning AI in flight simulators. The algorithms that are used can match the skills of veteran human pilots. It is expected that, at some point in the future, AI will be used to co-pilot fighter jets.
Self-driving cars
Self-driving cars are a form of artificial intelligence that is just on the horizon. Many of the world’s leading electric car manufacturers are already working on fully automated vehicles, some very successfully. Tesla is the brand that comes to mind the most. Tesla’s semi-automated cars have already proven to be very popular with consumers. The only barriers for many people in terms of buying an electric, automated car, are finding the money to pay, and being able to install an electric charging point. For renters, it is impossible to buy and sustain an electric car because they have nowhere to charge them.
Companionship
Developers are creating artificial intelligence software and systems that will give people companionship. One example of this is the use of responsive sex robots. The people that invest in these pieces of technology will be able to simulate the relationship experience with them. In addition, there are online programs that can be used to simulate relationships. The difficulty with online programs is that they aren’t yet fine-tuned and can’t offer the same experience that a fully responsible sex robot can. As the name suggests, sex robots can provide the sexual component of a relationship, in addition to communication. Online programs can only provide online communication.
Finance
Financial experts have already been using artificial intelligence to compile data and information and make sensible investments. The financial system’s use of artificial intelligence has been quieted down because the people using it, quite rightly don’t want to share it. Standard algorithmic trading is something that is available on many trading platforms, but it is not advanced as the tools that are used by large investment companies and firms. If you have the technological prowess, then you will be able to build your own trading bots and artificial intelligence for financial matters.
Transportation
Finally, we arrive at the transportation sector. Artificial intelligence is going to be used in the future to fully automate taxi rides, trains, and other forms of transportation. Artificial intelligence has not yet been fully used in all of its capacity in transportation, because it can be dangerous, but in some places semi-automated public transport devices are being used. Once the system has been perfected, it is highly likely that it will begin to be used more often. Taxis are not yet a possibility either, because fully automated vehicles haven’t been released to the public. When they do, they will likely become a thing.
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the way that we live our lives. Its applications are infinite. This post’s points only are only the tip of the iceberg, there’s so much more that artificial intelligence can be and is used for.
