• Navigation: AI takes charge of your navigation through Google Maps, Uber, or even when booking
flights/hotels. The apps used to make reservations use AI to give you suggestions for alternate routes
to be taken to avoid traffic. When you book your cab, it uses AI to give suggestions for both pricing
and the type of car.
• Security and Surveillance: AI-enabled security cameras cover the footstep and do the analysis
of the moves taken by the intruders. They are smart enough to do real-time monitoring.
• Social Media Filters: AI-based Snapchat filters capture the pixels of the image scanned through
a webcam and can build a face with different effects as desired by a person.
Brainy Fact
In December 1955, Herbert Simon and Allen Newell developed the Logic Theorist, the first artificial
intelligence program.
What is Not AI?
Every automated gadget around us is not necessarily AI-based. The following are some examples of gadgets that
are not AI-based:
• Fully Automatic Dishwasher: It can work on its own but requires input from humans. You can select different
parameters and commands, and based on your choices, the necessary action is taken. Hence, it is an example
of automation and not AI.
• IP-Enabled Security Cameras: They can be accessed remotely with the help of the internet but still need a
human touch. So, it is an example of the Internet of Things (IoT).
• Robots: They are generally considered intelligent, but some robots that can only perform one task based on
a specific instruction. These robots are extremely efficient, but they are not intelligent. For example, industrial
robots are built for one type of task only, and they cannot perform anything else.
Importance of AI
AI has impacted all the fields and sectors. It has changed the conventional functioning of machines. AI means
equipping machines with the power to think and make decisions just like human beings. Machines become
intelligent with Machine Learning. We provide information to the machines to make them learn from their patterns
and behave intelligently.
Let us understand some of the importance of AI:
• Reduce Time and Increased Accuracy: With the invent of AI, real-life problems that involve long and complex
calculations can be done faster with more accuracy. For example, price comparison websites use long algorithms to
choose the right plan for you after performing the comparison of prices.
• Making of Robots: AI enables the creation of robots capable of performing tasks beyond human capabilities.
In pandemic time, when humans are vulnerable to virus attacks, robots can be easily used for vaccination and
patient care. With the help of AI, such robots can be made.
