Pattern Recognition: This type of software uses of a camera and
software that together identify repetitive patterns and establish
connections between the patterns stored in the database and the
perceived patterns. Facial recognition software, video surveillance
cameras, fingerprint identification and automatic voice recognition
Pattern Recognition software are some examples of pattern recognition software.
Robotics: Shakey was the first robot that used AI to navigate. It was
developed in Artificial Intelligence Center of the Stanford Research
Institute (SRI) from 1966 to 1972. There are so many robots that
use AI such as Rosie and Roscoe are used in hospitals to supply
medicines, Robodoc performs hip implant surgeries, Roomba and Robotics
Scooba can do housework such as cleaning the floor, etc.
Intelligent Apps (I-Apps): Intelligent Apps are the softwares written
for mobile devices based on artificial intelligence and machine learning
technology, aimed at making everyday tasks easier. This involves tasks
like organising and prioritising emails, scheduling meetings, logging
interactions, content, etc. Some familiar examples of I-Apps are chatbots
Intelligent Apps
and virtual assistants.
BLOCKCHAIN
Blockchain refers to a decentralised system of recording information that makes it difficult or
impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. Every business runs on information and blockchain
is a shared ledger on which transactions are recorded and assets (tangible or intangible) in a
business network. Tangible assets include houses, cars, cash, lands, etc. and intangible assets
include intellectual property, patents, copyrights, branding, etc.
It is a distributed digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the
entire network of computers on the blockchain. Each block in a chain may contains a record
of multiple transactions. When a new transaction occurs, it is added to the blockchain and
recorded in every participant’s ledger. Anything that carries value can be recorded and tracked
and can be traded on a blockchain network ensuring transparency, security, and immutability
in the exchange of assets.

Blockchains use various consensus algorithms, such as Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of
Stake (PoS) and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)to validate transactions and maintain
network integrity.
AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY
Although the term Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are used together, there is a
distinct difference between the two.
