What are the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) ?

Applications of AI:

AI uses in multiple fields.Many industries already using AI.Some of the most popular areas include:

(1). Computer Vision:   These are the systems that deal with visual data such as images and videos. These systems understand the content and extract insights based on the use case.For example , Google uses reverse image search to search for visually similar images across the web.



(2). Natural Language Processing: This field deals with understanding text. We can interact with a machine by typing natural language sentences. Search engines use this extensively to deliver the right search results.

(3). Speech Recognition:  These systems are capable of hearing and understanding spoken words. For example, there are intelligent personal assistants on our smartphones that can understand what we are saying and give relavent information or perform an action based on that.

A Traveler calling United Airlines to book a flight can have the entire conversation guided by an automated speech recognition and dialog management system.

(4). Expert Systems:  These systems use AI techniques to provide advice or make decisions. They usually use databases of expert knowledge areas such as finance,medicine,marketing,and so on to give advice about what to do next.


(5). Games: AI is used extensively in the gaming industry. It is used to design intelligent agents that can compete with humans. For example,AlphaGo is a computer program that can play the strategy game Go. It is used in designing many other types of games where we expect the computer to behave intelligently.

IBM's Deep Blue became the first computer program to defeat the world champion in a chess match when it bested Garry Kasparov by a score of 3.5 to 2.5 in an exhibition match.

(6). Robotics: Using AI robotic systems are able to perform many different tasks.Robots have sensors and actuators that can do different things. These sensors can see things and measure the temperature,heat,movements, and so on. They have processors on board that compute various things in real time. They are also capable of adapting to the new environments.

Robotic Vehicles:  A driverless robotic car named STANLEY drives through the rough terrain of the Mojave dessert at 22 mph, finishing the 132 mile course first to win the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. STANLEY is a Volkswagen Touareg outfitted with cameras,radar, and laser rangefinders to sense the environment and onboard software to command the steering,braking,and acceleration. The following year CMU's Boss won the Urban Challange, safely driving in traffic through the streets of a closed Air Force Base, obeying traffic rules and avoiding pedestrians and other vehicles.
The iRobot Corporation has sold over 2 million Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners for home use. The company also deploys the more rugged PackBot to Iraq and Afghanistan, where it is used to handle hazardous materials,clear explosives, and identify the location of snipers.
