Machines performing tasks that would require human intelligence to perform. In other words, if a human needs to think about doing a certain task and a machine is able to perform that same task on its own, it has AI.
1. Machine Learning
2. Expert Systems
3. Natural Language Processing
4. Robotics
5. Neural Networks
The speed and power of modern-day hardware allows for more complex algorithms to be run much faster and more easily now than before. People are also becoming more aware of what the field of AI is and funding into AI research has increased significantly recently. This increased funding then leads to more AI breakthroughs which then leads to the current boom in the industry.
Manufacturing – Most production lines are automated with robots so that these lines can operate 24/7 without requiring breaks like humans would, which allows businesses to make more profit from selling more of the products they make.
Military – Unmanned drones are used in surveillance and disaster response operations to provide soldiers/first responders with real time information without risking the lives of any of the people involved in those operations.
Agriculture – Milking cows as well as planting and managing crops are jobs carried out by robots. Labor shortages and robots becoming more affordable are some of the reasons for robots being used in the sector.
Changing floors using the lifts - for multi-story facilities the robot needs to learn how it can get from one floor to the next.
Deciding what is normal and what is considered as a security breach while carrying out surveillance.
Setting up charging stations in the facility for the robot to use when it runs low on power during surveillance.
