Artificial intelligence is one of the new technologies that tries to simulate human thinking in AI systems. John McCarthy coined the term artificial intelligence in 1950.
He states: “Every aspect of learning and other features of intelligence can, in principle, be described in sufficient detail to trick a machine into simulating it. We use it, we form abstractions and concepts, we try to find ways to solve problems that are now left to humans, and to improve the machines themselves.”
Artificial intelligence is the ability of computer programs to learn and think. Any program that does what one would normally think of as relying on human intelligence can be considered artificial intelligence. The benefits of artificial intelligence applications are immense and have the potential to revolutionize every specialty. Let’s see some of them
1) Reduction of human error:
The term “human error” comes from the fact that humans sometimes make mistakes. However, computers do not make these mistakes if programmed correctly. Artificial intelligence uses a specific set of algorithms to make decisions based on previously collected information. Therefore, the error is reduced and there is an opportunity to achieve accuracy with higher accuracy.
example:
Predicting weather with AI reduced most human errors.
2) Take risks for people:
This is one of the biggest advantages of artificial intelligence. Developing AI robots can overcome dangerous human limitations. It can be flown to Mars, defuse bombs, explore the deepest oceans, mine coal and oil, and can be used effectively for all kinds of natural and man-made disasters.
example:
Have you heard about the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine? At the time, there were no AI-controlled robots to help control the fire and minimize radiation effects in the early stages, as humans who approached the core died within minutes. They ended up dumping sand and boron from a short-range helicopter.
AI robots can be used in situations where intervention is dangerous.
3) Available 24/7:
The average person works 4-6 hours a day without a break. People are made to take time off to refresh themselves and prepare for a new day at work. I even take a week off to keep my work and personal life intact. But with AI, machines can run 24/7 and never get bored, unlike humans.
example:
Educational institutions and helpline centers receive many inquiries and issues that can be effectively handled with the help of AI.
4) Help with repetitive tasks:
In our daily work, we do a lot of repetitive tasks like sending thank you emails and checking certain documents for errors. With the help of artificial intelligence, these mundane tasks can be productively automated, eliminating tasks that are “boring” for humans and even freeing them up to be more and more creative.
example:
Banks often have many document checks to get a loan which is a repetitive task for bank owners. AI cognitive automation allows owners to speed up the document review process, benefiting both customers and owners.
5) Digital Assistance:
Some sophisticated organizations are using digital assistants to interact with their users and save human resources. Digital assistants are also used by many websites to give users what they want.
