Applications of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is very promising with regard to its enormous benefits, both economical and cultural. Expert systems have already proven to be a great income generator for its creators, owners and users. Few other practical applications offered by AI currently are:

Game Playing

Game playing, for instance chess requires a bit of AI in them. Modern games are built upon a base known as the AI engine which is quite similar to the kernel of an OS.

Speech Recognition

Speech recognition systems have attained a practically satisfactory level of sophistication to be used for certain commercial purposes. But speech recognition systems are in the decline since most people feel comfortable with the mouse and keyboard.

Computer Vision

Extremely useful in areas like film industries where graphics are used exhaustively. Computers capable of virtually viewing objects in 3-D, are extremely popular among people like Stephen Spielberg.

Heuristic Classification

This is actually the technique behind what we get in the automated teller machines. Although existing ATM's are much simpler, the future ATM's will be making use of this application exclusively.

Expert systems as mentioned earlier are delivering their valued services in a big way in the production lines, medical research areas and financial sectors.

AI not only is going to or is delivering economical benefits, but it is also providing us with lot of cultural benefits. In the course of reformulating of our knowledge of history, philosophy, and nature, academicians and knowledge engineers have an opportunity to resolve any existing ambiguities and eliminate inconsistencies. Such attempts will definitely lead to improvements in the existing knowledge of human kind of our world and lead us to discover new truths
