Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving. With the evolving tech will AI take over humans?

Machine learning is also a branch of AI which is in demand in the tech world. Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience and by the use of data. Since data is the lifeblood of AI, what kind of data does it consume or collect. In AI a lot of data is needed since it needs data in bulk to make it better.

Why is AI important?

AI-powered systems can analyze data from hundreds of sources and offer predictions about what works and what doesn't. It can also deep dive into data analytics about your customers and offer predictions about consumer preferences, product development, and marketing channels. Some established companies use AI which helps them collect data which has enabled them when making critical decisions considering future predictions. It's allowing companies to design, produce and deliver products and services better than ever before.

I am certain that everyone has interacted with AI programed machines. Take an example of Siri and Alexa, we use them almost every time to get answers related to our queries on google. These are some of the ways artificial intelligence is making our lives easier.

Artificial intelligence isn't just improving lives; in some cases, it will save lives. There are many companies, including tech companies, that are investing in and researching ways that artificial intelligence can help improve our healthcare system. From figuring out personalized drug protocols to better diagnostic tools and even robots to assist in surgeries, AI is altering our healthcare system from its processes to the care that these organizations provide.

In addition to our healthcare systems, AI is likely to be very instrumental in solving the environmental concerns we are experiencing due to global warming. From supporting smart infrastructure to helping to be more efficient with our natural resources and smart agriculture to feed a growing population, AI can augment our human efforts to solve our global challenges.

Will AI replace human beings?

According to research made by the World Economic Forum, 85 million jobs will be replaced by machines with AI by the year 2025 of which has started happening. This will affect humans in a way that some people will be forced to venture into different careers such as software engineering, marketing managers, and others.
