Author Ms.Panchi Subramanian Chief Manager Indian Overseas Bank

Smart watch, Smart AC, Smart Fridge, Smart …. Which technology powers all these devices to be Smart? It’s the buzzword which we hear everywhere these days – Artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence – Does this mean that all the devices have extra intelligence by itself? No! These systems learn by the past experience which we offer to the system. For instance if we feel chill with the Air conditioner at 20 degrees and increase the temperature, the next time when we switch on, the same can start at a higher temperature. Where? Fine. Where do we see or experience this Artificial Intelligence? We can experience AI across all parts of life from fun and frolic to dangerous zones of life too. AI can power games for entertaining kids as well along with the usage of AI powered robots as bomb disposal systems. AI systems can be implemented to replace repetitive jobs as well as inaccessible jobs by the humans such as mining, bomb squads etc.

What? AI systems can self-learn and work like humans as per the rules of the system. Speech recognition is a powerful tool which does what an AI is supposed to do. “Hey Siri, What’s the weather today?” gives us an answer with the hourly prediction of weather. This self learning makes the system adaptive to respond to the questions asked after Hey Siri. Amazon go is a self-checkout shopping centre where shopping can be done by customers. Customers walk-in and chooses their products in the cart which is billed automatically and paid from Amazon Pay wallet.

When? Today, tomorrow and ever after, AI will be with us and exceed our expectations. When you feel lonely, you will be able to BUY a FRIEND as per your interests. This sounds happy, right? Yes!! Our friend would be a robot or a device which would understand our feelings and respond with empathy so that our emotional expectations from our friends shall be taken care by our FRIENDevice.

Why? If a family buys diapers fortnightly, the super market or the online website where its bought should be able to offer a coupon with 15% OFF on diapers in the next fortnight. How would this be possible? This is possible with AI-enabled data mining systems that studies consumer behaviour. Predictive purchasing is a great buzzword which enables systems to improve sales and retain customers.

Who? Who can use AI? Who is not using AI? No human as such. There is AI-enabled Toothbrush which sends analytics about the brushing pattern and efficiency of the same which can be viewed in the mobile app. All of us can have Self parking mode in our cars and also elderly care can be given with human touch by AI enabled robotics. Apart from these Five Ws, there is a whole set of ABCs which keeps the AI buzzword buzzing across our life!
