Artificial
Intelligence (AI) is one of the branches of Computer Science which is the design
and study of intelligent machines for some certain purposes. For the past few
years, we have seen a lot of new advances such as the IBM Watson supercomputer,
Google self-driving cars, and complex big data sets from the Internet. We’re
living in an automation age, and all know that our future will be affected
dramatically by new technologies – such as AI.
Artificial
Intelligence is successful in fields that have more data than human beings, and
require simple decisions. For example, big data is one of the most important
things people have spent a lot of time to research on. Image recognition is one
of the useful applications of AI that classifies images into different categories
such as Google Goggles. It can be applied in biological research like brain
mapping in order to help build computers that can simulate human brain. The
leader in this brain mapping area is Sebastian Seung at MIT who develops a new kind of computer vision in building “connectcomes” –
the detail of neuron communications.
Another
area that relates and depends so much AI in order to make progress is cognitive
prostheses – brain implants, which can replace the role of a damaged part of
the brain. A prosthesis can help Alzheimer’s patients restore their crucial memories. The implant will record the signals of neurons in the brain and make
a device (usually a micro chip) mimic the way these neurons work. Without AI
and the power of computer, an electronic device would never have the power of
replacing human neurons.
Finally,
if every intelligent machine is carefully programmed, it will reduce the risk
of humans’ carelessness, for example, in surgery. Definitely, there are a lot
more of AI that scientists will discover in the future in order to make our
lives better. However, computer vision, robotics and cognitive prostheses are
most relevent and interesting to accomplishing our future goals.
Hi Duc
ReplyDeleteYour blog is full of useful information make me get concern about Machine learning by analyzing images and just by the information that one image resulted to another is a great achievement. This is kind of greater learning than humans. I gone through the whole blog and found it very interesting and beneficial. I hope it will be used other than these things too. Thanks a lot for bringing the knowledge here. I enjoyed reading the blog and very much impressed.
