Artificial intelligence as part of everyday life

Artificial intelligence is no longer an idea in science fiction literature. It becomes part of everyday life. Artificial intelligence for many of us has changed the way of life. It affects how we travel, what content we search on the Internet and even the food we eat.
Many people identify artificial intelligence with robots with war machines that could someday destroy humanity.
Film and literary art are blamed for this apocalyptic image of technology development, but there are much more interesting and benign areas in which complex software could quickly find an application.
Artificial intelligence now has algorithms that threaten to overcome levels of human intelligence and are used in the fight against terrorism and world hunger as well as in medicine.
Many of the most up-to-date methods in immunotherapy, for example in cancer treatment, are actually based on artificial intelligence, and we have many reasons to believe that it will continue and accelerate.
In this area, there is a great potential in which governments, technology companies and medical experts want to invest and test solutions based on artificial intelligence.
With an estimated value of $40 trillion for healthcare, robots can analyse data from medical records prior to surgery, and to conduct surgical instruments during the surgery itself.
Surgeons with the help of robots imply a minimal invasion, so the patient will not need recovery from large cuts.
In one study, which included 379 orthopaedic patients, was found that the surgery with AI robots had five times fewer complications compared to surgery than a surgeon. The robot was also used for the first time for eye surgery.
The most modern surgical robot, “Da Vinci” allows doctors to perform complex procedures with greater control than in a conventional approach. Cardiac surgeons used the assistance of Heartland’s — a miniature robot that enters small slits on the chest to perform mapping and therapy on the surface of the heart.
In a complex world of healthcare, artificial intelligence can provide us with faster services, assistance in diagnosing and analysing data in order to identify trends and genetic information that would indicate that someone has a predisposition to a particular disease. In medicine, saving minutes can mean saving lives, and the use of AI in this area can be very significant.
However, advances in AI also mean that the labour market will be transformed and become much more difficult for low-skilled workers.
The forecasts of a new study by the Swiss non-profit organisation of the World Economic Forum showed that more than 75 million people could lose their jobs in the next seven years, as robots will take their place.
The first to strike will be accountants, bookkeepers and secretaries. Nothing better fate awaits employees in factories and postmen’s, as well as auditors and people working in customer support services will probably lose their jobs.
In order not to get mass layoffs and chaos, the Swiss say that every industry has to keep up with the times and make projections and business plans.
Soon all employers should know in which sectors the demand for workers will fall and where they will grow.
At the same time, AI has already found its application in another large industry — automotive. Autonomous cars perform most of their functions right through the AI, and this should be further developed so it is expected that self-driving buses and trains will soon be available
This, of course, does not mean there will be no more places or jobs for people.
Far from that, but AI should take on some of those jobs that are dangerous or harmful to humans, such as the production of toxic substances or the dismantling of bombs and mines.
AI-based machines are expected to be able to store and process incredibly large amounts of data in order to one day be able to find solutions to major global crises, such as global warming. AI is already being used in banking, for forecasting stock market conditions, as well as in insurance companies to predict the level of risk.
Of course, artificial intelligence had to retain a little futuristic that had always been related to AI field. Here on the stage enters Microsoft, who presented recently the AI Assistant (another one similar to Cortana).
It’s Xiaoice, a chat-bot that is designed as a teenage girl with a certain set of skills. What is different from other AI assistants is that she has personality, she can joke, write original poetry, compose, sing and play games.
This part, I admit, is a little frightening and reminiscent of the warnings sent by conspiracy theorists.
