The AI Industry: Types, Applications, Challenges



ai in healthcare

As the AI industry develops, we are seeing a trend towards automation. However, as AI advances in technology, companies will begin to ask, will artificial intelligence be a "black box"? We'll be looking at the types of AI, their applications and the challenges companies face as they adopt new technology. We will also address the Black box Problem and how AI could be applied to the solution.

Artificial Intelligence

The Artificial Intelligence business is still young and not quantified in the same way as other sectors. But IBM has already set its sights on healthcare as one of the most important AI domains and there are a number of 'broad AI' players who are now strategically deploying in this space. The question is: Where do you start when looking for AI solutions? Here are some areas businesses can focus to increase their ROI. Below are some AI applications.

Types

Computer vision and machine-learning are two examples of the AI industry. Computer vision refers to the use of artificial intelligence to image processing. It is based on deep learning models, which train computers in recognition and interpretation of images and other visual data. In general, the two types of AI industry share common goals: improving vision and speech recognition. Machine vision, meanwhile, helps machines to understand and process text. Natural language processing uses deep learning models and machine learning to process human speech. Named entity recognition (or sentiment analysis) are two examples of natural languages processing.


Applications

AI applications in manufacturing have proven to be the most useful in the manufacturing sector. AI algorithms can aid in engineering-related research and can be used to reduce costs and optimize asset utilization. Vision systems are an example of AI technology used in this industry. They can detect outlier characteristics and identify deviations. They are also useful in warehouse and logistics process monitoring. AI can be used in manufacturing for many purposes.

Black box problem

A key problem in the rise of AI is the increasing opacity of AI systems. This problem arises because we can only see inside a system to understand its behavior. However, the majority of computing systems are made of components that are both easy to understand and difficult to program. We need to be aware of the dual notions of transparency, and opacity to solve this problem. It is possible to understand both transparency and opacity, which can lead to better AI systems.

Regulation issues

The AI market is experiencing rapid growth. But, it needs to be regulated by governments in order for consumers to be protected. In most countries, AI is not currently regulated by effective laws. Some governments resist imposing heavy regulations despite the safety and ethical implications. Others worry it will discourage investments and cause a race towards the bottom. Below are some considerations to make when writing AI regulations. These are some points to remember while you wait.




FAQ

What is the current state of the AI sector?

The AI market is growing at an unparalleled rate. Over 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet by 2020, according to estimates. This will enable us to all access AI technology through our smartphones, tablets and laptops.

This shift will require businesses to be adaptable in order to remain competitive. Companies that don't adapt to this shift risk losing customers.

The question for you is, what kind of business model would you use to take advantage of these opportunities? Could you set up a platform for people to upload their data, and share it with other users. Perhaps you could also offer services such a voice recognition or image recognition.

Whatever you choose to do, be sure to think about how you can position yourself against your competition. You won't always win, but if you play your cards right and keep innovating, you may win big time!


How does AI function?

Basic computing principles are necessary to understand how AI works.

Computers store data in memory. Computers process data based on code-written programs. The code tells the computer what it should do next.

An algorithm is a set or instructions that tells the computer how to accomplish a task. These algorithms are usually written in code.

An algorithm can be considered a recipe. A recipe may contain steps and ingredients. Each step represents a different instruction. One instruction may say "Add water to the pot", while another might say "Heat the pot until it boils."


How does AI work?

An artificial neural network is composed of simple processors known as neurons. Each neuron receives inputs and then processes them using mathematical operations.

Layers are how neurons are organized. Each layer has a unique function. The first layer receives raw data, such as sounds and images. It then passes this data on to the second layer, which continues processing them. The final layer then produces an output.

Each neuron is assigned a weighting value. When new input arrives, this value is multiplied by the input and added to the weighted sum of all previous values. The neuron will fire if the result is higher than zero. It sends a signal down to the next neuron, telling it what to do.

This cycle continues until the network ends, at which point the final results can be produced.


Who is leading the AI market today?

Artificial Intelligence, also known as computer science, is the study of creating intelligent machines capable to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.

There are many kinds of artificial intelligence technology available today. These include machine learning, neural networks and expert systems, genetic algorithms and fuzzy logic. Rule-based systems, case based reasoning, knowledge representation, ontology and ontology engine technologies.

There has been much debate over whether AI can understand human thoughts. Deep learning has made it possible for programs to perform certain tasks well, thanks to recent advances.

Google's DeepMind unit today is the world's leading developer of AI software. Demis Hashibis, who was previously the head neuroscience at University College London, founded the unit in 2010. DeepMind was the first to create AlphaGo, which is a Go program that allows you to play against top professional players.


Is there another technology which can compete with AI

Yes, but it is not yet. There have been many technologies developed to solve specific problems. But none of them are as fast or accurate as AI.


Which are some examples for AI applications?

AI is being used in many different areas, such as finance, healthcare management, manufacturing and transportation. Here are just a few examples:

  • Finance - AI can already detect fraud in banks. AI can spot suspicious activity in transactions that exceed millions.
  • Healthcare - AI can be used to spot cancerous cells and diagnose diseases.
  • Manufacturing - AI in factories is used to increase efficiency, and decrease costs.
  • Transportation - Self Driving Cars have been successfully demonstrated in California. They are being tested across the globe.
  • Energy - AI is being used by utilities to monitor power usage patterns.
  • Education - AI has been used for educational purposes. Students can, for example, interact with robots using their smartphones.
  • Government – AI is being used in government to help track terrorists, criminals and missing persons.
  • Law Enforcement – AI is being utilized as part of police investigation. Investigators have the ability to search thousands of hours of CCTV footage in databases.
  • Defense - AI can be used offensively or defensively. It is possible to hack into enemy computers using AI systems. In defense, AI systems can be used to defend military bases from cyberattacks.



Statistics

  • In the first half of 2017, the company discovered and banned 300,000 terrorist-linked accounts, 95 percent of which were found by non-human, artificially intelligent machines. (builtin.com)
  • That's as many of us that have been in that AI space would say, it's about 70 or 80 percent of the work. (finra.org)
  • The company's AI team trained an image recognition model to 85 percent accuracy using billions of public Instagram photos tagged with hashtags. (builtin.com)
  • Additionally, keeping in mind the current crisis, the AI is designed in a manner where it reduces the carbon footprint by 20-40%. (analyticsinsight.net)
  • While all of it is still what seems like a far way off, the future of this technology presents a Catch-22, able to solve the world's problems and likely to power all the A.I. systems on earth, but also incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. (forbes.com)
