Artificial Intelligence - Where Are We Today

Indeed, we hear much about Artificial Intelligence these days, but few folks really understand what artificial intelligence really is. Even more confusing to newcomers and novices is that a lot of people that are in the artificial intelligence field debate its definition. nonetheless compounding the issue is when commercial ventures begin touting their technologies as artificially intelligent driven, when in reality they're not.


There are a few different categories that those in the field of artificial intelligence fall into. One is those who believe that artificial intelligence is computer software which mimics human decision making or appears to mimic human decision making. Then there is the group that calls themselves purists who believe that neural network processing is true artificial intelligence. surely we'll be discussing both types. We will also touch upon all the different applications, technologies which are or appear to be similar enough, that their creators or marketers have labeled as artificial intelligence.

Today we most commonly find that such applications as search engines on the Internet, autonomous operation and interactive eLearning systems, just like recognition software for speech, facial features, finger prints, spell checkers, voice, anti-spam programs or algorithms which scan databases to find anomalies. surely the more intense the application for example self-driving cars, self-piloted planes, corporate telephone systems, weather prediction, stock trading, military net-centric warfare, automated warehousing or computer space systems the more significant artificial intelligence becomes.

It ought to be relatively easy to see that artificial intelligence has changed our lives as a lot as computers themselves and in the future even more nonetheless with artificially intelligent robotic androids in our homes and decision making computers at work. In the future we will have artificial intelligence running our government, transportation systems, money flows, environment, distribution systems, virtual reality entertainment systems and just about everything you could possibly dream up. maybe after reading this book you may in fact look on more applications in your industry?

Is the sky the boundary to artificial intelligence? Indeed, it does appear to be and nevertheless maybe not, as we are already using AI underwater and underground, so the sky is not the boundary and neither is the ground or anything else in this dimension. Artificial intelligence is not even restricted to time, space, energy or matter in a single dimension. In the future humans may have add-on features where man and machine is merged using Artificially Intelligent components. So when we examine where we are today with Artificial Intelligent Systems the answer most appropriate would be; We are at the Tip of the Ice Berg.

The more pressing question is how shall we proceed? Does mankind have the discipline and integrity to continue the forward progression of this technology without sacrificing or risking all we are and all we have built; maybe that indeed is the greatest question of all?
