What to expect in the future of AI?

I made an attempt to write about AI here: https://gkarvind.blogspot.com/2020/05/how-does-artificial-intelligence-work.html informing you about how AI works, now this article is about what to expect in the future of AI?

Machines will become our most reliable friends, advisors, and caretakers, We will be living in symbiosis with AI, We will reach immortality by keeping out mind alive in the cloud, Humans may not have to work anymore, We will have to rethink the value and purpose of the human mind and body.

FACTORIES

With Industry 4.0 in, the factories are seeing incresing usage of IoT and AI, The most of the process will be handled by AI, leading industry ERP application makes like Oracle, SAP etc. Have rolled out AI functionality, it can manage right from raw material procurement to delivery of the products to clients all on its own, you just need some rules set as per your business needs, paving way for future ultra efficient manufacturing units.

Veo Robotics combines 3D sensing, computer vision and AI to make robots safer to work with in a manufacturing setting without the need for cages or operations shut-downs to perform inspections. Mythic another company wants to create IPU's powerful enough to let robots and drones communicate conversationally so they can respond and react to situations in real-time.

MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS

The simple fact is that the human has produced a more overall understanding of human health than any one human brain can usefully contain, and A.I. As it has only one function will quickly start to out-perform even the best of best human doctors. In 10 years time, how many people will be willing to opt for AI Doctors is something we will have to get used to.

PATHAI is using AI for accurate cancer diagnosis, Harvard University’s teaching hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, is using artificial intelligence to diagnose potentially deadly blood diseases at a very early stage

COOKING

Cooking is perfectly suited to A.I., since it basically just requires knowledge of how a list of ingredients get combined in different ways, in different amounts. AI will check the market price of products and your health conditions, and provide you with the best cost effective meal. AI will check your fridge and stores and tell you what can you cook with the ingredients present. AI will also order your groceries and vegetables and pay from your bank account all by itself.

AI-enabled Chef Watson is a project by IBM and functions as a digital culinary research assistant (sort of like a genie/oracle) with access to a database rich in flavor profiles and recipe ratios — rendering the Flavor Bible obsolete.

LEGAL ADVICE

For high-level lawyers, it’s precisely the ability to see around the rules that make a successful lawyer. Where AI, could really change society, at a deep and fundamental level, it will provide defense to those who cannot afford a competent human for representation.

FARMING

The AI takes over farming practices, it will read the sensors that will tell how much nutrients and moisture is needed for a particular plantation, it can talk to the AI, weather system and decided what would be the best time to spray fertilizer, water them, cultivate them. Even the cultivation will be done my machine that is AI driven, harvesting, cleaning, sorting and packing for the market.

Bengaluru-based Intello Labs was started by IIT-Bombay alumnus Milan Sharma in May 2016. The company claims to provides advanced image recognition technology that can recognize objects, faces, flora fauna and tag them in any image.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Bank automation is making some bank employees move to unemployment, When the A.I. Really take over. The financial services sector as of now has a lot to do with rich get richer they can afford to hire more and better financial help to manage the money they have. With A.I., especially open source fintech solutions, it could be possible to change personal finance to put it on a much more even playing field. As the AI cashless transaction model improves ATMs will disappear along with it the cash loading jobs.

AI assistants, such as chatbots, use artificial intelligence to generate personalized financial advice and natural language processing to provide instant, self-help customer service. Take any bank ICICI, SBI they have started using this technology.

TRANSLATION AND LINGUISTICS

I am not going to talk much about as you see that you can talk to devices and they respond, some devices help to you talk in another language that you don't know.

DEFENCE - CYBER and TRADITIONAL

No matter how talented the security expert, they simply cannot hold a wall to the speedy attacks of an automated botnet. We will see large proportions of cyber-security offloaded to automated techniques.

The country borders will be safe with AI, they will take care of various inputs and generate alerts and even firearms if needed. Give instruction to drones that will carry out attack without any human intervention, with less collateral damage.

A main focus of Sophos‘ cyber security services is on endpoint protection using Ai, which is carried out through its Intercept X Endpoint product, Fortinet company also offers Ai-powered firewall technology in the form of FortiWeb, which features threat detection for web applications guided by two layers of statistics.

TRAFFIC

The traffic will be in the future in completeness will be maintained by AI, the upcoming AI autonomous vehicles will talk to the traffic AI and both together will decide how to reach the destination in the most economical way. You will mostly read a book of your choice on the way and spend less time on the road.

When you want to go on a road trip AI will make all the decision of fuel consumption, best time to drive, book tickets are restaurants on the way, etc.

Siemens has AI-based Traffic and City Mobility Solutions develop data- and AI-driven applications and services for even smarter management of road traffic, fleets and intermodal mobility. 

POLITICAL ANALYSIS

Donald Trump has used this technology and others are following, some companies are making robots to read news that can articulate with a vast amount of news that available on the fly. Will see the end of newsreaders in future.

Cambridge Analytica was one such company there are others in the game too.

BETTING

Fetiche number are being used to predict stock market the same also for betting, now with AI it will churn out all the data from history and provide you with the most appropriate betting direction.

RUNNING A BUSINESS

Human intelligence and ingenuity, artificial intelligence is generally seen as a supporting tool in business. AI will be driving your business, right now we have a supermarket that is unmanned, you just walk in take the product you want the network of sensors and cameras identify what you have collected, and by the time you reach the checkout the AI would have kept all the numbers ready and for your approval the payment will be transferred from your account. It will also suggest what you have bought by telling you what you are running short at your home.

AI can be seen in CRM, handing customer effectively, SAP has developed a cloud platform specifically for AI related works, such as image processing, AI analytics for predicting.

PERSONAL ASSISTANT

Many of us will have an AI personal assistant, which will help in organizing out day to day chores. It will take notes on meeting, it will remind, fix a salon appointment, inform your client if you are late.

It not difficult to see examples here, apple Siir, Google Alexa, Netflix,Nest are excelent users of AI.

AI is better or does it have some sedate side-effects? But I do know that we can’t stop the evolution, and we have to think hard and work smart to keep up. Adapt our linear thinking with the exponential growth of technology.

How does artificial intelligence work or How do machines think?

Humans have built AI systems that can do everything from diagnose our illnesses, drive our cars to clean your house. But how can we trust them if we don’t understand them? I have attempted to provide an insight into the technology at layman's word so that you understand the implication quickly.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building clever machines capable of performing tasks that typically require rational intelligence. AI is an interdisciplinary science with complicated approaches, elevations in machine learning, and deep learning are creating a paradigm shift in virtually every sector of the industry. 

Human has been inventing things that are useful to him, like an extension of bodily components. Bicycle, Car, Airplane is our legs extension, Footwear is an extension of the foot sole, Typewriter was the extension of handwriting skills. Like being the computer the extension of our Brain, now AI is an extension of how our brain thinks and works, we know how our brain works, which define what we are, the fear is real that AI is going to steal from us our identity. 

Let us look at how AI is created 

AI is any device that understands its environment, practices and actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals.

It is a rather very complicated process simulated step-by-step reasoning that when they solve puzzles or make logical deductions.

For AI what we need is enormous processing capability along with an enormous data handling capacity. Our brain does millions of calculations per second to achieve results without much effort. This why quantum computer is being developed, existing computer technology has limitation that won't allow AI to flourish.

Our Brain capacity was reported as 1 synapse can store 4.7 bits of information. Neurons are the cells that prepare and forward messages within the brain, and synapses are the bridges between neurons that carry the conveyed messages. Running the numbers – 125 trillion synapses – 4.7 bits/synapse, and about 1 trillion bytes equaling 1 TB (Terabyte). This storage capacity is an amount of over 74 Terabytes just in the cerebral cortex alone. Ideally, AI technology is far behind our brain's capacity in terms of AI development.

The below image gives a 33 thousand foot view of the AI subject 

above wire-frame was generated using Pencil Opensource application

Let me explain each box mentioned above

Deep learning means that instead of understanding what something is, the AI begins to learn “why.” Example Automated Driving.

Supervised you to provide the machine with the correct answer ahead of time. Example identify a car or truck comparing against the previously-stored image 

Unsupervised we simply feed a machine a bunch of data so that it can find whatever patterns it can. Example Siri & Cortana

Content extraction automatically finds and extracts information of interest. Example Resume profiling based on keywords 

Classifications work when the business feeds the data points, such as product stock, along with their predetermined categories.

Machine translation is the process by which computer software is used to translate a text from one natural language (such as Hindi) to another (such as Tamil).

Question answering is a computer science discipline within the fields of information retrieval and natural language processing (NLP), which is concerned with building systems that automatically answer questions posed by humans in a natural language. Example AI bots that chat with you, there is no human behind it who answers your question.

Text generation it leverages knowledge in computational linguistics and artificial intelligence to automatically generate natural language texts, which can satisfy certain communicative requirements. Example more mobile phone is able to convert what you speak of action, like dialing a number.

Text to speech (TTS) is a natural language modeling process that requires changing units of text into units of speech for audio presentation. Example great for visually impaired person 

Speech to text is the opposite of speech to text, where technology takes in spoken words and tries to record them as text. The example you speak and it types the letter for you

Image recognition is the ability of software to identify objects, places, people, writing, and actions into images. Example current Covid-19 it was used to identify people with high temperature in public places. 

Machine vision is the ability of a computer to see; it employs one or more video cameras, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), and digital signal processing (DSP). The resulting data goes to a computer or robot controller. Machine vision is in a way similar in complexity to voice recognition. Example Airport immigration can scan passengers and identify if any, known suspect in trying to board the flight. 

The ultimate goal of AI would be 

1. Thinking humanly
2. Thinking rationally
3. Acting humanly 
4. Acting rationally

The application of this technology's potential is enormous, the key to succeeding in this area of exciting technology is to develop knowledge in many areas, you can't merely study solely on AI and be successful, You need to understand human behaviour, how the application works, how the mechanical components work, electrical and electronic, chemical knowledge. The more you master different areas you will be successful in developing a useful AI tool.

Simple IoT System Security

Today, more devices are connected to the Internet than people. Cisco has predicted that 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020 that's five times the expected population. The IoT helps these devices to connect to each other automatically, so the security issues also arise accordingly. We can take some simple steps to safeguard our self.

Bit by bit directions to offer security to IoT based systems

We should begin with the adsl/routers/switch/UTM: The routers/switch is said to be the 'front way' to your smart home, and this is what you need to check first. So it is urged to place assets into a firewall or UTM that goes with a more significant level of security, as standard.

Make a discretionary or guest user/group: You can make various frameworks on your Wi - Fi router/switch. Make frameworks with parental controls for kids, guest frameworks with potential controls, or guest frameworks for visitors. You can make additional frameworks at whatever point required. By doing this, one can shield potential crooked software engineers from finding a workable access, shared records, and diverse miscellaneous items from various contraptions.

Check your IoT contraptions' settings and keep them revived: Your IoT device undoubtedly goes with default settings and you may change them at whatever point required.

Enable two-factor approval: Two-factor check is an additional security layer over a contraption mystery express that requires discretionary affirmation. It is a one-time code sent by methods for email or SMS before find a workable access.

Stop UPnP features: IoT devices will by and large have Universal Plug in and Play (UPnP) features, enabling different devices to find and interface with one another. This may support aggressors who wants to get unauthorized access.

Consultants are made , not born.

Selecting a Consultant

Consultants are made , not born. the ability to become a consultant, particularly in sophisticated fields, comes with expertise, one thing that you simply will solely gain only with time. This expertise not solely establishes individuals as consultants, it conjointly offers them ability to charge a premium for his or her services, says Larry G. Nelson Sr. of Horatio Nelson analysis, a innovation member of the IEEE Consultants Network.
I have been reading number of books and sites on consulting and found very interesting that many don't know how to select a consultant, I am trying to put what all I read and learned in very simple format for people to take advantage of my learning.

Experts can be to a great degree supportive to your association as it moves along the way to more prominent way by helping you arrange, oversee, and execute your comprehensiveness activity.

They can:
Furnish you with the knowledge that originates from their past encounters and help you evade a few missteps.
Offer significant outer viewpoints that may help you when you feel that you aren't making as much advance as you would like. An outside gathering regularly supplies a viewpoint on an association's flow that can be hard to see or comprehend from within.
Help arrange contrasts of sentiment between parts of the governing body and the staff and/or volunteers with respect to bearings the activity could take.
Bail bring out the voices of individuals with less power inside the association. These people may have important sentiments that are not effectively heard by the senior administration and/or parts of the governing body.

There likewise are alerts in utilizing experts:
One slip-up that associations regularly make is that they anticipate that specialists will lead and own the methodology of the association's voyage to comprehensiveness. On the off chance that an association's inward stakeholders don't feel in charge of guaranteeing the achievement of the comprehensiveness activity, the result of the activity can be genuinely endangered.
Moreover, specialists must be adaptable and react to the individual needs of diverse associations. On the off chance that you employ a specialist who is not versatile and does not comprehend your association, you can squander significant time, vitality, and cash taking after their plan rather than the motivation that is a good fit for your association.

Part of a Consultant

The Consultants essential part is to support your association with specific ranges of your comprehensiveness work. While the Consultant may go about as a teacher, an impetus for deeper change, an asset, or a facilitator, the administration of the methodology stays inside your association. The Inclusiveness Committee, staff, board parts, and official chief have the force, and the more prominent obligation, to lead the methodology of getting to be more comprehensive.
There are for the most part four classes of work for which you may need to contract the administrations of a specialist or a counselling group:
1. General Guidance: The specialist lives up to expectations with the Inclusiveness Committee all through the comprehensiveness activity to arrange and execute the activity and goes about as a gathering or procedure facilitator.
2. Data Gathering: The Consultant outlines and accumulates information amid the data social occasion stage. Consultant can be especially valuable in gathering subjective information through meetings and center gatherings, since their impartial position with the association can prompt more genuine reactions from inward and outside stakeholders.

3. Cultural Competency/Diversity Training:
The consultant conducts diversity/inclusiveness trainings to create a more inclusive culture and help stakeholders become more aware of how the organization may be creating an unwelcome atmosphere for diverse communities. In this instance, you may want to use one consultant or a consulting team for all of the trainings or you may wish to bring in content specialists for different trainings and use an "integrating facilitator." An integrating facilitator works with you throughout your process, helping to provide continuity between trainings.
4. Assessment: The expert makes an assessment plan to quantify the adequacy of trainings and advancement of your comprehensiveness activity.
After surveying suggestions made because of your Request for Proposals (RFP), and arranging with the expert you choose, you may need to modify the part you have characterized for your consultants.
The part that your expert plays can be a mix of the above, or only one - it relies on upon your association's necessities and the consultant that you choose. Consultants may be gotten for day-long sessions, for different trainings, or to help you with specific themes. The time you go through with your consultant - on the off chance that you enlist one - and the work the specialist does, rely on your association's particular needs and plan.

Complete Determining Whether or Not to Hire a Consultant.

In the event that you choose to contract an consultant or counselling group, proceed underneath.
In the event that you choose not to contract an consultant, avoid whatever is left of this point.

Capabilities of a Consultant
The qualities, capabilities, and encounters your association will require in an consultant may incorporate solid relational abilities, broad involvement with various division, and an exhaustive information of particular groups of colour that live and work in your working range. Selecting an consultant obliges discovering the right fit with your association's specific needs, style, and objectives. An consultant who meets expectations extremely well with one association may not have the right style or assets to function too with an alternate association.
Consider both quantitative and subjective results that you might want to have from your work with your specialist. What will an effective association with an consultant look like for your organization? What particular undertakings need to be finished? What results do you hope to see? What words would you use to depict the way of a perfect working association with an expert? Having an examination with your Inclusiveness Committee about these ranges will help you characterize the qualities and capabilities your association needs in an expert.

If you decide to hire a consultant or consulting team, continue below.
If you decide not to hire a consultant, skip the rest of this topic.

Qualifications of a Consultant

The qualities, qualifications, and experiences your organization will need in a consultant might include strong communication skills, extensive experience with the non-profit sector, and a thorough knowledge of specific communities of colour that live and work in your operating area. Selecting a consultant requires finding the right fit with your organization's particular needs, style, and goals. A consultant who works very well with one organization might not have the right style or resources to work as well with another organization.
Consider both quantitative and qualitative outcomes that you would like to have from your work with your consultant. What will a successful relationship with a consultant look like for your organization? What specific tasks need to be completed? What results do you expect to see? What words would you use to describe the nature of an ideal working relationship with a consultant? Having a discussion with your Inclusiveness Committee about these areas will help you define the qualities and qualifications your organization needs in a consultant.
