•  AI in Agriculture: The world will need to produce 50 percent more food by
                                               2050 as we are exhausting our resources. The only way this can be possible is
                                               when we are using it more wisely. AI can help farmers to get more from the land,
                                               and use resources more sustainably. Blue River Technology developed a robot
                                               called See & Spray which uses Computer Vision and image recognition software
                   to  monitor  and  precisely  spray  pesticide  on  cotton  plants.  Plantix  mobile  app  uses  AI-powered  image
                   recognition software to help farmers to detect plant diseases.

                    • AI  in  Banking  and  Finance: Trading  mainly depends  on  the  ability to predict
                   accurately. Machines are used because they can analyse huge amounts of data
                   quickly. Machines use AI to study patterns and trends in the data and predict how
                   these patterns may repeat in the future. Nomura Securities (Japanese brokerage
                   house) is using AI to analyse the insights of experienced stock traders. AI in banking
                   is growing at a fast pace. Many banks have already adopted AI-based intelligent systems to provide customer
                   support to detect anomalies and credit card frauds.


                                              • AI  in  Gaming  Industry: One of the biggest accomplishments of AI is in the
                                              gaming industry. In video games, AI is used to generate intelligent behaviour for
                                              game characters similar to human-like intelligence. AlphaGo, an AI program that
                                              plays the board game Go, defeated a professional world rank no 1 player, Fan
                                              Hui.


                    • AI in Space Exploration: Astronomers uses AI to shift through years of data
                   obtained by the Kepler telescope to identify a distant eight-planet solar system.
                   AI is also used in NASA's  mission to Mars. The AEGIS, a Mars-based AI robot,
                   already on the planet is responsible for handling the autonomous targeting of
                   cameras perform investigations on Mars.


                            Brainy Fact

                     Chandrayaan-3  was  a  lunar  exploration  mission  by  the  Indian  Space  Research  Organisation
                     (ISRO). It was launched on July 14, 2023 and successfully soft-landed on the Moon's south pole
                     on August 23, 2023. It is India's third lunar exploration mission and the first to land on the Moon's
                     south pole. The mission aims to explore the region for water, ice, and other resources.


                                             • Autonomous Vehicles for Advanced Features: The development of autonomous
                                            vehicles will revolutionise the transportation system. Waymo, after many test drives,
                                            launched their first public riding services. Waymo’s AI software crunches data from
                                            vehicle's lidar,  camera,  GPS, and  cloud  services to  produce  control signals that
                                            operate the driverless vehicle.
                       Advanced deep learning algorithms can accurately predict what objects in the vehicle's vicinity are likely
                     to be, making it safe. Tesla, a company known for self-driving cars, uses AI to implement computer vision,
                     image detection, and deep learning to make cars that automatically detect objects and drive without human
                     intervention. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors says ”Tesla will have fully self-driving cars ready by the end of
                     the year and a 'robotaxi' version—one that can ferry passengers without anyone behind the wheel—ready for
                     the streets”.
