HOW WILL A.I. CHANGE OUR LIVES? HOW WILL A.I. CHANGE OUR LIVES? A WHOLE OTHERWORLD OVERVIEW WHAT IS AI? ● The development of AI and its changes ● AI’s impact on life today ● Examples of AI and its uses: ○ Medical Field ○ Watson ● Pros vs Cons WHAT IS AI? What is AI? AI is an abbreviation of the words Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior (such as learning, problem solving, and reasoning) in computers/machines. - John McCarthy was the first person who coined the term artificial intelligence. What is considered AI? AI are machines that have the ability to perform actions that require intelligence. Machine: AI: ● ● Has the ability to learn Is capable of simulating thinking ● Is only capable of performing what it is programmed to do. Weak vs Strong AI Weak AI: can only respond to specific or a narrow group of situations with intelligence. It can replicate some of human intelligence. Examples: Siri, Alexa, robot waiter, and manufacturing robots. Strong AI: when a machine can think and perform just like a human. Examples: None at this time AI’S ADVANCEMENT THROUGH THE YEARS AI’s Advancement Through the Years 1950 Alan Turing proposed the “Turing Test” as a measure of machine intelligence. 1955 The creation of The Logic Theorist was designed by Newell and Simon. It is considered to be the first AI program. 1956 The term artificial intelligence is first used in The Dartmouth College summer AI conference. 1964 Danny Bobrow’s showed that computers can understand natural language well enough to solve algebra word problems correctly. 1971 Terry Winograd demonstrated the ability of computers to understand English sentences with a robot arm that carried out instructions typed in English. AI’s Advancement Through the Years 1997 The Deep Blue chess machine from IBM defeats the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov. 2004 NASA’s robotic exploration rover Spirit and Opportunity autonomously navigate the surface of Mars. AI’s Advancement Through the Years 2005 Honda’s ASIMO robot, a humanoid robot, is able to walk as fast as a human and combat obstacles such as staircases. 2011 IBM’s Watson computer defeated Jeopardy!’s champions Rutter and Jennings AI’s Advancement Through the Years 2011-2014 Smartphone assistants, such as Siri, use natural language to answer questions asked by the user. 2015 Sophia the humanoid robot was activated. She is capable of following faces, recognizing individuals, and holding conversations with humans by processing speech. In 2018, she was upgraded and now has the ability to walk. While AI has advanced exponentially through the years, we can still expect more discoveries in the future AI’S IMPACT ON LIFE TODAY AI’s Impact on Life Today Digital Personal Assistance: Devices such as Alexa and Google Home and features such as Siri are all examples of AI. ● They use advanced machine learning technologies in order to properly function, such as answering questions and performing simple tasks. Apps such as Spotify and Netflix also have AI implemented into them. These apps are able to learn and make future recommendations based on your activity. AI’s Impact on Life Today Health Care: ● ● Currently, health professionals have to review great amounts of data manually before they diagnose or treat a patient. Deep learning platforms with high-performance computing and graphic processing units do the following: ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Quickly provide real-time insights Help healthcare professionals diagnose patients faster and more accurately Develop innovative new drugs and treatments Reduce medical and diagnostic errors Predict adverse reactions Lower the costs of healthcare for providers and patients AI’s Impact on Life Today Financial Services: People who work in finance need to derive insights from their data. Artificial Intelligence can help them streamline operations, improve product offerings, and enhance customer experiences. AI can also maintain: ● ● ● Customer and client satisfaction React to market trends Calculate risk through datasets and spending patterns. While we just showed 3 examples of how AI impacts life today, there are many more positive and negative ways AI affects life. AI & THE MEDICAL FIELD AI & the Medical Field Artificial Intelligence can be used to greatly benefit the medical field. With new technology, it has helped save countless lives. Some examples: ● ● It can help diagnose patients quickly by undertaking a large multitude of information and processing it. AI can be used in operating rooms: ○ AI can provide the surgery team a live time stream of what is happening inside the patient’s body (via a camera). AI & the Medical Field ● ● It can supply the surgeon with a “road map” helping them navigate what is happening internally. The artificial intelligence machines will help lessen the amount of complications that happen in surgeries and guide surgeons to more efficient operations.
