Artificial Intelligence — A big trend in 2021
Imagine you had a stressful day, you are too exhausted to drive.
Hell, too sleepy to walk to your ride, somehow you are on your way home, cools stuff right?
Now how did that happen? Here is how it happened, you only tapped the surface of your smartwatch and skirr! , your ride showed up itself to take you home.
With the improvement in virtually all industries, Artificial intelligence goes on to thrive.
A self-driving car is one crucial testimonial of the (AI) industry. Honestly, a self-driving car is so cool — thank you, Tesla!
That’s just one of the numerous uses of this disruptive technology that earned its way into the new world. It is in-valuable in every sector (any sector you can think about ).
What is Artificial Intelligence(AI)?
According to Investopedia:’ It is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions.
This explanation should bring flashbacks from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1984 movie “Terminator” — Let’s hope it doesn’t get to that, but that thrilling movie is the future of (AI), and I’m certain we won’t let the machines take over.
However, the year 2021 has seen developments in the trend of (AI) for the good of society.
Before the sudden encroachment of the menace Covid-19, Machine learning — one of the tentacles of (AI), had been creating chaos across industries worldwide.
One of the brags of (AI) is playing out in China, robots called Cloud ginger(aka XR-1) deliver medicine and food to Covid-19 patients — as human contact is harmful to society.
This single act solidified that (AI) Algorithms-operated machines are here to stay and are the future.
Drug Discovery
In 2020, (AI) played a significant role during the pandemic, these are ;
•Prediction and detection of outbreaks
• Visualization and monitoring of spreading patterns.
• Decision-making to identify treatment were all executed at incredible speed.
An example is Blue Dot, this algorithm successfully detected Covid-19 nine days before WHO announced Covid-19.
In addition, AI super fast-tracked the production of vaccines.
Pfizer accumulated a wealth of drug discovery data and utilized AI to fast-track its vaccine production.
Biotech startups use AI in drug discovery to care for their Clients.
Look up the Internet for more significant improvement of AI in the health industry.
Health is wealth!
Telecommunications for hybrid workspace
During the lockdown, you spent significant work time on ;
•Microsoft Team
•Zoom
•Google meet.
AI is improving these telecommuting Platforms for you to have a better user experience with them.
In 2021, an abrupt shift from using these Platforms for virtual meetings to virtual workplaces took place.
More companies duplicated their workspace in the digital world, a synergy of spaces materialised.
Physical and digital spaces intertwined with AI and 5G! Pure bliss.
Edge computing with true intelligence.
One thing is certain, you are aware of smart devices in today’s world.
“Smart” is everywhere;
• Smart TV
• Smart Watch
• Smart house
Let me let you in on one of the best-kept secrets.
Most of these devices aren’t smart, they are latched on a centralized server.
A good example is a synchronisation between Apple’s iPhone and iCloud.
Data constantly travels between an iPhone and the iCloud and this activity comes with its baggage.
It’s not all smooth, there are delays and this makes the device high-end.
What is the Future of AI?
AI has been around for over seven-decade and has never lived to its full potential.
Going mainstream has proven to be quite an uphill task.
However, in recent times AI has enjoyed a bit of spotlight and has achieved critical success like;
•Text generation
• AI-induced face recognition
• Drug discovery,
among other developments.
Finally, Companies report AI’s impact generated revenue and reduced the cost of certain functions.
These reports increased the publicity and integrity of AI.
In conclusion, it is safe to say AI will be massive in the year 2021. So you might as well buy some assets with an AI driven industry because it is one of the next big things, if not the big thing.
