Latest Technological Developments
In today’s rapidly changing world, technology plays a major role. New technologies are evolving
every day across the globe. To keep ourselves updated, it is important for us to know the latest
technological developments.
There are a number of latest technological developments. Some of them are Artificial Intelligence,
Intelligent Apps, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Let us learn about these.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
You have already read about Artificial Intelligence in earlier classes. AI is the 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.
So, 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: User
Expert system: It can be defined as a Interface
communicating computer program that can User (not
Inference an expert)
solve problems which would otherwise require engine
human assistance. These programs replicate the
reasoning process of experts in certain areas. For Knowledge
base
example, PROSPECTOR was the first expert
Human Knowledge
system that analysed geological data to identify expert engineer

and locate mineral deposits.
Natural Language processing: It is the study of
methods by which computers can recognize and
understand spoken or written human language. Speech
recognition software are an example of NLP where
computers translate spoken speech into text.
Natural Language processing
Intelligent agents: It is a type of computer program that
has built-in intelligence which keeps a check on the work
patterns, asks questions and performs tasks on the behalf
of the user. The simplest example of intelligent agents is
surfing the Internet. What happens when we search for
something on the Internet?
