Applications of Artificial Intelligence

The applications of Artificial Intelligence are abundant and widespread, especially in developed countries. In fact, Artificial Intelligence has become such a mainstay in today’s world that it is taken for granted by the majority of people who benefit from its efficiency. Air conditioners, cameras, video games, medical equipment, traffic lights, refrigerators: all function by way of developments in “smart” technology or fuzzy logic. Large financial and insurance institutions rely heavily on Artificial Intelligence to process the huge quantities of information that are fundamental to their business practices.

The application of computer speech recognition, though more limited in utilization and practical convenience, has made it possible to interact with computers by using speech instead of writing. Robotics, the study and development of robots, is another common application whose end goal can be anything from entertainment (such as robot pets), to research (such as Mars rovers), to safety (such as fire detection and extinguishment). Natural language processing, a subfield of Artificial Intelligence, provides computers with the understanding they require to handle information being encoded by humans. Computer vision instructs computers on how to comprehend images and scenes. It has as some of its goals: image recognition, image tracking and image mapping. This application is valued in the fields of medicine, security, surveillance, military operations, even movie-making.
