Artificial Intelligence and Smart Machines

• Artificial intelligence harnesses algorithms and machine learning to predict useful patterns humans normally identify.
• Smart machines take human decision-making out of the equation so intelligent machines can instigate changes and bring forward solutions to basic problems.
• Companies are rallying around artificial intelligence in the workplace because it allows employees to use their abilities for the most worthwhile tasks, along with the management of these smart machines for a more successful system.
• The U.S. Army is applying artificial intelligence measures from Uptake Technologies to vehicles mainly used in peacekeeping missions for repair purposes.
• Their predictive software will reduce irregular maintenance and hone in on machine components that are more likely to deteriorate or get damaged.
• Predictive vehicle repairs can grow and extend to civilian purposes in the coming years.
• AI face recognition is beginning to help with missing people reports, and it even helps identify individuals for criminal investigations when cameras have captured their images.
• According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, face recognition is most effective when AI systems and forensic facial recognition experts team-up.
• AI will continue to promote safety for citizens in the future as software improvements shape these applications.
• Medical AI is another trend that reflects surprising success. Given patient information and risk factors, AI systems can anticipate the outcome of treatment and even estimate the length of a hospital visit.
• Deep learning is one way AI technology gets applied to health records to find the likelihood of a patient’s recovery and even mortality.
• Experts evaluate data to discover patterns in the patient’s age, condition, records, and more.
• Home AI systems are also increasingly popular to expedite daily tasks like listening to tunes, asking for restaurant hours, getting directions, and even sending messages.
• Many problem-solving AI tools also help in the workplace, and the helpfulness of this technology will continue to progress in 2019.
• AI careers are increasing in demand, but the nature of AI skills is shifting.
• AI projects have caught on throughout many businesses, but the outlook of company leaders is more than the projects are returning without properly equipped personnel to implement strategic AI advances. Positions related to AI are necessary to fulfill the potential of these enterprises.
