Five predictions of future artificial intelligence

Here are five predictions for future artificial intelligence:

1 Smarter robot

Guru Banavar, deputy director of cognitive computing at IBM’s Research Department, is looking forward to seeing artificial intelligence technology embedded in more robots and devices. IBM is using machine learning algorithms to train robots to better combine appropriate postures, tones, and sentences. The company's artificial intelligence technology has been loaded on robots produced by other companies, such as Softbank's concierge and sales assistant robot Pepper. Machine learning algorithms can help robots learn to navigate better (autonomous driving) and integrate with robotic devices such as bionic eyes.

2 Faster analysis

A key application of machine learning algorithms is data analysis. The advancement of visual data analysis and the acceleration of speed will have a broad impact across different fields. Banavar wrote in the email: The technology of artificial intelligence in understanding images has been greatly enhanced, including text and meaning for special elements such as goals, people and places. A key area for expanding the impact of visual analysis is the medical system. Banavar specifically pointed out that human workers need to process massive amounts of visual information. She also cited an example: a radiologist needs to do 16 radiographs per minute Out of diagnosis. According to Forrester research, accelerating the speed of data processing will greatly improve the performance of artificial intelligence in business in 2016. Analyst Brian Hopkins wrote: Machine learning will replace manual data processing and data supervision, etc., and save time and promote the development of data strategies.

3 More natural interaction

The improvement of machine learning algorithms used to process language will make communication between people and computers easier. Eric Horvitz, a researcher and director of management at Microsoft's Redmond Lab, said virtual assistants (such as Siri and Cortana) will become 'very helpful.' Andrew Arruda is the CEO of the artificial intelligence lawyer startup ROSS. He said: We have always communicated with them in a computer-based language, which is exactly the step we need to take. He proposed that advances in natural language processing will begin to upend this relationship next year.

4 More subtle fears

When talking about artificial intelligence, you may hear someone mention the 'Terminator' series. Tesla CEO Elon Musk used this movie to express his fear that AI technology is going out of control. I've talked about this in a movie, you know, like 'Terminator'. -Musk's original words quoted by the Guardian in 2014.

May bring some bad results. And we should make sure that the result is good, not bad. In December, Musk joined the team of tech tycoons and invested in the newly created non-profit organization OpenAI. The turmoil caused by the fear of Musk and others gradually subsided, and Arruda believes that the so-called evil will become more subtle in 2016. I think people have shifted from God, what these are and panic emotions to calm communication. He said. He also believes that the installation of AI in electronic devices will become a matter of course, not less surprising. If there is no AI element, people will think that this machine is too stupid.

5 More fierce competition

In November, Google open sourced its open source machine learning framework Tensorflow. A few weeks later, Facebook also open-sourced Big Sur’s design, which is a computer server running the company’s AI algorithm. Arruda believes that with the advent of 2016, we will see similar behavior as the aforementioned companies.

Google, Facebook, Microsoft and IBM (Arrufa's company ROSS is using IBM open source Watson tools) are competing with each other for the leadership of artificial intelligence. This is a war between geniuses, Arruda commented. Launching open source tools for startups and developers is not the only area where competition is heating up. Google, Facebook and Apple have all announced their territory (such as Facebook's M) in the field of AI virtual assistants, wanting to get their share from the search engine and e-commerce market.
