                 In today’s rapidly changing world, technology plays a major role. Newer technologies are

                 evolving every day across the globe. To keep ourselves updated, it is important for us to know
                 about the latest technological developments. In this chapter, let us upgrade our knowledge
                 about some latest technologies.

                 There are a number of latest technological developments. Some of them are Artificial
                 Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Internet of Things, 3D Printing and Robotics.
                 Let us learn about these.

                    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

                 You have already read about Artificial Intelligence in earlier classes. AI is a branch of computer
                 science that aims at creating expert and intelligent computer systems which simulate certain
                 human qualities such as, learning, reasoning, communicating, seeing, hearing, and sensation. AI
                 is used to create intelligent machines that help us. AI is a part of almost everything we use today
                 such as smartphones, cars and banks.

                 Some main areas of application of AI are:

                     Natural Language Processing: It is the study
                    of methods by which computers can recognise
                    and  understand  spoken  or  written  human
                    language. Speech recognition software is an
                    example of NLP where computers translate
                    spoken speech into text.

                                                                                 Natural Language Processing
