Artificial intelligence has been inching its way into the market for a while. Many top companies are working on creating AI-based tools and software solutions and are in the process of patenting them. From knowledge engineering to machine learning and computer vision, technology has steadily progressed, taking many of us along with it. In this blog, DigitalCookies has listed how artificial intelligence is useful in various industries and how it can change the way we perceive things.
The smartphones we use also have some sort of AI-based software that makes them smart. AI is more an integral part of our lives than we think. This might excite some but terrify others. After all, AI has been said to replace humans and take up their jobs.
But it’ll be more than a while for this to happen. Artificial intelligence is now at a stage where it is being as a support system to employees rather than as a replacement.
Error-free Software Applications and AI
Automation is one of the concepts of artificial intelligence. This has enabled businesses to only automate and streamline repeated daily tasks but also automate the process of software product development and testing. This will reduce the errors that could occur due to human interference and slow down the production process. It also helps in improving the quality of the final software product released into the market.
Healthcare Industry and AI
Artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector enables providers to diagnose and identify the ailments a patient is suffering from and to prescribe the right medication to cure it. When the time taken to identify the actual ailment is reduced, the chances of the patient getter better increase. This will bring down the death rate caused due to late or incorrect diagnosis.
Customer Service and AI
Customer service has been the make or break factor for many businesses. Especially in the modern-day world where customers can tear apart a brand on social media for not delivering what has been promised. So how do businesses handle customer service with limited staff? Artificial intelligence is used to create virtual assistants who step in to assist the customer support team and manage calls, messages on their behalf. Chatbots can answer customers’ queries, record the conversation, and arrange the complaints in the order of priority. They track the issues solved and send a notification to the customers about the same.
Educational Sector and AI
Online classes and tests, digital textbooks, virtual tutors, and such other tools are making way into the educational sector. Schools and colleges are revamping their classrooms to make them technology-friendly and provide students with the required infrastructure to study online through interactive sessions. Students today can be a part of a seminar that is happening across the ocean.
Gaming, Entertainment and AI
How many of us love to play games online? From Super Mario to today’s AR and VR games, the industry has come a long way. Pokémon Go has set the trend for AR games where the virtual and real worlds are combined to give the player a unique and wonderful experience. Today’s games are more focused on user experience. Developers are using AI tools to create gaming chatbots that lay with the user. The tools are also used to allow multiple players from different locations to come together and engage in a game in the virtual setting.
Heavy Industries and AI
Industries that manufacture and supply heavy goods are making the most of AI-based technology. Whether it is using smart machines for heavy lifting, streamlining the quality control process, moving goods from the manufacturing unit to the warehouse, entering and updating the data into the central database, and predicting market demands, AI is becoming an integral part of many heavy industries.
Transportation is one sector where it might take a little more time for AI to prove its mark. While AI-based tools are helping drivers in various ways, the idea of autonomous cars is too tempting to let go of. We are sure that one day soon, we will be driven by driverless cars that can navigate any kind of road with ease. We are eager to see what other developments artificial intelligence will bring.
