Artificial intelligence is the ability of systems and machines to analyze data, learn, and perform tasks that previously required human intelligence. AI is advanced by having a neural network that mimics the human brain and machine learning by recognizing patterns in collected data.
Now let’s talk more about the areas that the introduction of artificial intelligence has already changed a lot and is sure to change even more.
Navigation. After analyzing the data, AI makes an optimal route, calculates the approximate time that will be spent on it, and gives guidance depending on the user’s movement. Also, the existence of autopilots, which can make decisions on their own in a variety of scenarios, reduces the likelihood of human error and makes traveling safer.
Medicine. AI can examine medical scans and test results to make a diagnosis.
Voice assistants. Perhaps almost everyone is familiar with Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa. These manifestations of AI are able to recognize speech, analyze what is said, and run errands or engage in conversations with users.
Video games. If you haven’t found a co-player or team to play with, AI can keep you company. And artificial intelligence often copes with the task as well as real people. From the latest news in this area: engineers from OpenAI trained an AI to play Minecraft, showing the neural network 2,000 hours of gameplay in combination with keystrokes.
Advertising. By studying users’ requests, interests, previous purchases and lifestyle, AI offers advertisements that match their potential desires as closely as possible.
In addition to this, there are many other specific applications of AI and areas where it has started to be implemented relatively recently. For example, Amazone’s CodeWhisperer neural network, which was recently introduced, can give recommendations on how to write program code.
Evolution of blockchain
Blockchain technology is not standing still either. First, there are more and more eco-friendlier blockchains that run on Proof-of-Stake or alternative, low-energy algorithms. Even a crypto giant like Ethereum plans to abandon Proof-of-Work and switch to a more sustainable and “green” way of mining new coins.
Ethereum’s network is also continuing to scale through layer 2 add-ons, and DeFi projects are increasingly focused on a multichain approach, not wanting to be limited by the potential of just one blockchain. For example, the Aave protocol, which is a DeFi giant, has already moved to a multichain approach.
