The concept artificial intelligence began to be used actively in the world since 2016, and introduction happened very quickly and imperceptibly for many. There are people who it is categorical against such developments as see in it serious threat for mankind.
History of artificial intelligence
There is no accurate interpretation of a concept as artificial intelligence (AI) as in different languages and cultures there are own semantic shades. According to the most popular option, it is technology of creation of cars which can carry out intellectual tasks. The history of development of artificial intelligence began in the middle of the last century though philosophers suggested in the Middle Ages. At the beginning of the 20th century the people could see the mechanical device which was capable to play chess.
How does the artificial intelligence work?
The fact that great minds of the modern world cannot still tell with an accuracy how AI works is interesting. According to the standard representations the artificial intelligence program directly is associated with thinking of the person, but at the same time the science could not understand completely yet that such thinking and real intelligence. One of the most perspective directions for development the creation of applied neural networks at the moment is considered.
Systems of artificial intelligence
ANN (artificial neural network) – the mathematical model functioning by the principle of biological neurons which are connected in a uniform system. The principle of their work is based on creation of communication between several processed elements. On an entrance the neuron receives a large number of signals, he analyzes them, using powerful coefficients and forming the signal arriving to other participant of a chain. Creation of artificial intelligence on the basis of neural communication happened in 1958. INS are capable to self-training.
Recently still neuro and expert systems which basis – the huge knowledge base are popular. It included numerous data and methods which are applied to the solution of the established tasks. Besides, the system has the self-training algorithm which is based on the obtained data. In it the interface is of great importance.
Pluses and minuses of artificial intelligence
Better to understand prospects of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to understand its advantages and shortcomings. Let's begin with the first, and refer to them:
- Expansion of opportunities in studying different spheres which are inaccessible to ordinary people. For example, here it is possible to refer safe studying space, the ocean and so on. Considerably by means of smart machines it is possible to increase the speed of course of experiments and researches.
- By means of artificial intelligence it is possible to automate production which can happen without stops. Besides it can carry out the assessment of finished goods. Thanks to it it will be possible to reduce the price of production and to improve work on objects, harmful and dangerous to the person.
It is necessary to estimate also the existing shortcomings which also are:
- The problem of artificial intelligence consists in possible failures as whatever one may do, but it is the car. Even the minimum mistake in calculations can pour out as a result in a serious problem.
- There is a danger that through time the artificial intelligence can stand apart from mankind and begin to work in the interests. It is possible to think that it is the scenario taken from movies, but the real risk really is present.
- As the artificial intelligence is tried to be included in all spheres, it as a result will become the reason quickly of growth of number of jobless people.
Use of artificial intelligence
AI in different spheres where it is necessary to optimize information and its search is used, to improve quality of products and process of production. Actually the list can be continued long and it constantly extends. There are several basic directions where it is useful to develop AI:
- Creation of systems which imitate results of human thinking, reasonings, emotions and so on.
- Technologies of artificial intelligence imitate not the person, but behavior of biological neural networks and evolutionary processes in the nature.
Artificial intelligence in medicine
Unfortunately, but the modern medicine wishes the best. It is often difficult to doctors to make the exact diagnosis, for example, when there is no sufficient practice or the specific case is far from professional experience. The artificial intelligence which has an opportunity to analyze a huge number of stories of diseases, to scan literature on the necessary subject and to consider a lot of other important information will help with this situation. The diagnosis will be as a result put forward and the optimum plan of treatment is offered.
Determination of artificial intelligence includes also that the car will be able to consider genetic features of the patient, stories of the previous diseases and so on. At the current stage of development of AI will not be able to replace the doctor completely, but the important assistant to it to become feasible, having increased thereby effectiveness of treatment. Whether except clinical practice the artificial intelligence is used in realization of different researches, for example, for check drugs with each other or the analysis of the genetic code are compatible.
Artificial intelligence in business
Different technologies are used to minimize expenses and to raise income, and still to optimize working processes. The most widespread methods of artificial intelligence in business:
- Creation of personal recommendations, that is the companies can learn what services will be necessary for the client to increase sales and advertizing efficiency.
- Increase in overall performance of shops, that is AI chooses the best place for opening of new points, develops the range taking into account needs of residents of the area and so on.
- Optimization of work of technical support, that is the client interacts with artificial intelligence and it helps to find the nearest shop, to make simple operations with the card and to receive individual discounts.
- Customer service of call center, fight against fraud, carrying out personalisation of offers and increase in efficiency of employees.
- Optimization of production in the industry, for example, for the correct consumption of raw materials, selection of optimum setup of devices and so on.
Problem of artificial intelligence in philosophy
The main philosophical problem in the field of AI – whether is an opportunity to really simulate thinking of the person. It was already said that scientists still did not understand as the intelligence of the living person works, how to transfer it to the car. There is one more problem in philosophy – the artificial intelligence for what it is necessary? The most acceptable answer to this question consists in the concept of the intelligence amplifier. Describing problems of creation of artificial intelligence, it is worth mentioning one more – safety as possible consequences are foggy.
Future of artificial intelligence
If earlier AI developers sought to create the car which could carry out independently tasks, then at the moment the situation changed also the purpose which is set before artificial intelligence – the help to the person in different questions.
- Thanks to modern approach the artificial intelligence begins to simplify and improve different processes, for example, in the western countries the robot carries out primary medical diagnostics on the basis of dialogue with the patient and his analyses.
- One more perspective sphere – prediction and even a certain manipulation with behavior of the person in advertizing systems.
- It is possible to expect increase in quality of work of search engines and machine translation. It will be possible that the computer will begin to understand and analyze meaning of the text.
Development of artificial intelligence
There are many spheres where can apply AI therefore a huge number of developments is conducted, will consider some of them:
- Unique functions of artificial intelligence are used to create robots who will be able to lie. They are planned to be used for military purposes as security guards of ammunition.
- Robots will carry out duties of house assistants and even lovers who can be bought in the sex shop.
- Some scientists consider that in 2030 they will implant nanorobots who will make people godlike into a brain of the person.
Movies about artificial intelligence
The subject about robots is used in cinema for a long time and some are even sure that it is options of the possible future. The best movies about artificial intelligence:
- Superiority. A story about the outstanding researcher who works on creation of artificial intelligence, but group of extremists against his idea.
- It. The movie tells about the lonely writer who got the new technical development directed to execution of any desire of the user. Through time he understands that he fell in love with the operating system.
- I, robot. A story about the future (2035) when the artificial intelligence became an integral part of life of people and robots rose against mankind.
