When we are searching the internet, something is analyzing our data and helping us get better results. No, it is not a thousand small gremlins working in machines, but rather artificial intelligence, working behind the scenes to help us find the best results possible. Sometimes, these results that AI provides us can be catered towards us, and, sometimes, they are also catered towards businesses which pay money for marketing.
That being said, there are many AIs operating different things in different businesses and industries. Let us look at some recent promising AI developments.
Vaccine Creation
People are still sceptical as to how vaccines were created in a record of three months, just three months after the virus was discovered. AI models have helped with this, of course. There were huge investments and resource allocations towards medicine during this period that showed a bit of the power of AI.
There are thousands of components which just deal with the proteins of a virus, and it is almost impossible for humans to crunch all of this data and create a model and a simulation of a cure, or rather, a vaccine.
This type of development can only get better, as we get access to better options to deal with viruses and deal with other problematic diseases.
Automatic Driving
This does not mean an automatic transmission which has been around for many decades, but rather a car which is able to drive itself, and its passengers, safely and reliably to a destination. This is very important, because self-driving cars will help make traffic safer, but only after everybody starts following the rules to the letter.
Automatic and self-driving cars have become trendy in 2020 and 2021, with so many car companies implementing some form of self driving in their premium vehicles. AI drivers are going to get better eventually, but passing all the laws and making the necessary adjustments in the human component will take a lot of time.
Translations and Language Processing
Real time translations are still pretty bad and when a phone records somebody talking, it often misses out on some of the most easily understandable words. It cannot even account for the regular accents, let alone the non-standard accents, which is where using AI assistants becomes impossible.
These AIs will get better over time, with more and more data being fed to them. Real time translation will become possible and we will use our smartphones to help us translate things when talking to someone in a different language. This will take a lot of time, but it is an innovation which is taking place as we speak, so to say.
Specialized AI Chips
These chips are installed in devices which are used in industries, or rather, on a large-scale level, and in smaller, specialized devices such as mobile phones. Today’s phones are also using chips which have AI cores, or rather, a specialized part which is used to optimize something, whether your camera or the device’s operation. This is also true for larger chips and more general-purpose devices. These AI chips will revolutionize everything, mostly by optimizing processes and helping us spend less energy.
AI will help optimize the world and these have been some recent innovations which show us why and how.
