Applications

Artificial Intelligence can be applied to a diverse set of industries such as medical, financial, education, marketing, agriculture, space exploration, gaming, and many other areas. It is present in all aspects of society and changing how people and business perform tasks. A few examples are stated below:

  • Image recognition: AI is used to detect and determine objects, people, writing, actions, AI technology that can identify and classify objects, people, writing, and even actions within still or moving images. [1] This is used for fingerprint ID systems and facial recognition.
  • Speech recognition: A technology that detects vocal patterns and converts them to digital text. This is what allows voice control for applications such as Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa.
  • Natural language processing: Automatic translators such as Google Translate use an AI-driven algorithm to detect, process, and translate text from one language to another.
  • Virus and spam prevention: Once driven by rule-based expert systems, today’s virus and spam detection software employs deep neural networks that can learn to detect new types of virus and spam as quickly as cybercriminals can dream them up. [1]
  • Ride-share services: Uber, Lyft, and other ride-share services use artificial intelligence to match up passengers with drivers to minimize wait times and detours, provide reliable ETAs, and even eliminate the need for surge pricing during high-traffic periods. [2]
  • Automatic vehicles: A set of AI technologies such as image recognition, GPS technology, robotics, and machine learning are used to guide the vehicle safely through the configured route.
