In my last post, I was able to give a simpler explanation to the blockchain and how it works, if you missed that post, you can check by blog for [Blockchain 101: In the Beginning of Blockchain (Blockchain Fundamentals)] (). Today I want to throw a very simple question which is Why the Sudden Demand For Artificial Intelligence
A lot of people do not even know what artificial intelligence is, so many use AI without knowing that they are using Artificial intelligence. So I will be giving a very simple explanation to Artificial intelligence after which I will be throwing my question.
Artificial intelligence is not typically new, it is the development of machines to be able to read data and perform tasks which meant to be performed by humans. What makes Artificial Intelligence (AI) unique is that it has the ability to improve itself on whatever purpose it functions.
In 1950, Alan Turing published a paper speculating about a machine that can think. In 1951, Ferranti Mark 1 machine was introduced by Christopher Strachey to compete with humans in playing chess. Artificial intelligence was first coined by John Mccarthy in 1956, he said in quote
Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to stimulate it. An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstraction and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves”
Artificial Intelligence is programing a computer to work and stimulate with higher functions of the human brain, use general language, measure problem complexity, as well improve itself by continuously learning new things, to solve human problems that cannot be solved easily by humans.
Why the Sudden Demand For Artificial Intelligence
A lot of startups, big companies as well as government agencies all of a sudden have been investing heavily into Artificial Intelligent researches. Companies like Google Uses Artificial intelligence (AI) for their search engine, JP Morgan uses artificial intelligence for their Chase contract intelligence platform, IBM is not left behind as Artificial intelligence is used for medical diagnoses called IBM Watson. Social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram uses Artificial intelligence. Tesla taking a front role in using artificial intelligence for self-driving cars.
Computation power, large data, Effective algorithms, as well as enough financial support is available for the improvement of Artificial intelligence and at the same time the above use cases of AI and more is getting on the increase and I want to hear your opinion to why Artificial intelligence is taking such a great spike within one century of its presence. Why has AI gained so much importance, why is it the talk of the century and what could be its possible harm?
