How Will AI Change Technology?

How Will AI Change Technology

Some of the biggest names in technology are coming together for research and development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but they are just the household names there are dozens of other lesser known tech companies working on it too.  What is it about AI that is prompting millions of dollars of investment and how can this impact our daily lives.  How will AI change technology, let’s have a look.

More Efficiency

Since the dawn of the industrial age we have used machines because they are more efficient than people.  They work faster and longer and they never get tired.  Now imagine what machines could do with artificial intelligence, they could make decisions with fewer errors.  There would be fewer delays with less problems all of which would make the machines effectively more efficient overall.

Intelligent Marketing

AI is already a part of marketing with the use of chatbots to help companies deal with customers.  Chatbots along with some other AI solutions can help take digital marketing to the next level, it can answer customer questions and be a part of interactive marketing.  It can answer repetitive questions without having to use human resources to do so.

Exploration

When it comes to the exploration of space or the bottom of the oceans, people have been limited by the harsh environment.  That is not the only limitation, our senses are ill equipped to deal with the vast input of data that is available.  There are sounds, patterns and frequencies that we as humans simply cannot perceive, machines don’t have these limitations.  Machines equipped with AI are fully capable of exploring and extrapolating data where we cannot.

New Opportunities

We haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of what AI can do, it has the capacity to completely change technology as we know it.  AI use has been limited thus far but what does it have the potential to do in the fields of medicine or finances.  Can we teach computers to perform complex surgeries? Are we ready for fully automated self-driving airplanes?  Will AI ever actually be able to create art or is that strictly a human characteristic?  As the use of AI grows so will the need for new applications.

Artificial Intelligence is one of the fastest growing sectors in technology, there is a reason that companies like Google, IBM and Facebook are pouring millions of dollars into research, this technology will continue to evolve in the future and perhaps offer a solution to some of our biggest problems.
