Artificial Intelligence is the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.Here are some uses of AI you might not still be aware of.

1)Computer Programming: Computer scientists have created AI programs capable of writing their own code.Ai researchers have created many tools to solve the difficult problems.

2)Robotics:AI is arguably the most exciting field in robotics.It reduce the human work.Robotics is more like Mechanics thing and AI is the human like perception which is in code indeed.Robots learn Grasping by sharing their hand-eye coordination experience with each other.

3)Self driving cars:AI in transportation is expected to provide safe, efficient, and reliable transportation while minimizing the impact on the environment and communities. Self driving cars will also mean lesser road accidents as they are programmed to focus more on safety than human drivers.

4)Smart Reply:Smart Reply will automatically suggest short replies for incoming messages.Google’s Inbox launches ‘Smart Reply’ to suggest reply message automatically using AI

5)Finance: Financial institutions have long used artificial neural network systems to detect charges or claims outside of the norm, flagging these for human investigation.Use of AI in banking.AI has also reduced fraud and crime by monitoring behavioral patterns of users

6)Medical field: For improving healthcare, artificial intelligence in medicine is a great idea that can advance the patient communication and healthcare professionals.It helps to Fast & Accurate diagnostics,reduce human errors,design treatment plans,drug creation,etc.Microscope uses Artificial Intelligence to find cancer cells more efficiently

Any other applications are there?

There are several technologies that includes in Artificial Intelligence such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, machine learning and others. Since last two years, Artificial Intelligence is growing so rapidly especially in these industries:

1- Healthcare
2- Transportation
3- Customer services
4- Finance

Those are all good things. Sadly these days we see widespread use of bots to pollute discussions on social media, create artificial hit and follower counts as well.

I made a study about Watson. It has integrated personality test so sales chatbot can decide how to speak with the customer best way
