Artificial Intelligence Impacting Our Everyday Life

Technology is moving at a fast pace and we presently enjoy an innumerable number of benefits that were hitherto unthinkable a few years back. Artificial intelligence has become a reality and has now embraced every sphere of human activity. The launch of deep learning neural networks that mimic the process of real neurons, has allowed machines to process information and think and act like humans including the ability of facial recognition. In addition, with big data providing all the needed inputs that speed up AI development process, we will soon see more and more integration of artificial intelligence technology in our everyday lives. Let us have a peek in to the manner in which artificial intelligence is likely to impact significantly the various spheres of our everyday lives. Transportation Technologies We are presently seeing the development and promotion of self- driving cars by major technology companies, including Google. Presently the self- driving car technology is still rudimentary with a driver also being present. However, it is certain that we will see faster and more sophisticated developments taking place with technology giants like Google Inc also in the fray. This automation in transportation space will also include buses, trucks, trains and several other forms of transportation apart from self- driving cars. Inclusion of Cyborg Technology With the present pace of technology developments, we will see the capabilities of our human bodies enhanced manifold with new technology augmentation. We will be able to augment ourselves with computers and enhance many of our natural abilities. Even people with amputated limps can use a robotic limp with implanted sensors to communicate with the brain more easily, effectively providing them more control and reducing the limitations that amputees face in their everyday life. Robots to Take Over With artificial intelligence application gaining momentum, the use of robots has become universal in all sectors including manufacturing, health care, banking, and in all sectors that require human interaction. Robots have already replaced customer service executives in several banks and robots man several of the automobile assembly units and are pillars of bomb disposal squads. Robots have become extremely smarter with some robots like the”pepper” robot from Japan being able to read even human emotions. Better Security Artificial intelligence is widely used to protect families from burglaries and terrorist threats. Governments use an array of sophisticated AI software to monitor phone calls, messages and all forms of communications to sort out casual conversations from potential threats. Modern home alarm systems have sensors and facial recognition features that distinguish family a member from a stranger. Weather Prediction Accurate weather forecasting entails sifting through vast amount of data. Artificial intelligence software is able to sift through millions of data and give a more accurate prediction of impending weather conditions including storms, hurricanes etc. Better Elderly Care Senior citizens find it difficult managing their everyday life alone and a good number rely on the help provided by their family members or others. Artificial intelligence has made rapid strides in the health care sector and “home robots” are able to provide senior citizens with all help as and when needed. “Home robots” will help senior citizens manage their everyday life in a safe, convenient, and easy way enabling them to remain independent. Even though we are ignorant of the manner in which artificial intelligence is likely to impact our lives in the near future, it has become abundantly clear that artificial intelligence has the ability to bring in major changes to every sphere of our human activity.
