                 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
                                                                                          Expert system
                      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?
