The world around us is evolving at the fastest pace it has ever seen, with Artificial Intelligence at the center of changes that are fundamentally defining the way we live.
But there is one question of great importance: What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
For many, the technology orbiting it remains a mystery, so it is appropriate to start the discussion here. Artificial Intelligence is the most specialized branch of Computer Science, and has as its center the intelligent behavior of machines. It is an intelligently simulated ability of a machine to imitate human behavior and its conventional response patterns.
This is achieved with specific algorithms, which target a specific field of activities, which means that with Artificial Intelligence, many of our daily activities can now be carried out by programmed machine technologies.
The use of Artificial Intelligence in organizations, governments, security frameworks, and in the energy and natural resource management sector is on the rise. The pace of development of the technology varies radically around the world, but the solutions it offers are unanimously recognized. This fact brings us to the focus of programmers, who are now focused on achieving the development of mathematical models that will help a machine to adequately replace direct human efforts.
The shortcomings of human efforts at work, such as inaccuracy, inefficiency or limited working memory, can now be addressed. For example, Artificial Intelligence has been defined as the most suitable technology for more accurate medical practices. Therefore, we can say that the benefits of Artificial Intelligence are anything that comes against the natural inadequacy of the human species.
With Artificial Intelligence, the moment will come when the way we perceive what it means to be human will change. Now, we are not far from any major achievement in this field.
