Smart Highway
A smart highway is green, which means there are plants and trees all around the road. In case of
space constraints, there could be vertical gardens. There is a system which gives SMS alerts on traffic
and medical information in case of medical emergencies and requirements. No red lights, no parking
troubles, sound and air pollution free environments are some of the other important features.
The scope of Artificial Intelligence is widening over the last few decades. The technology is making its
way out of research labs and into our everyday lives, promising to help us tackle humanity’s greatest
challenges. The future of AI is promising and our own robotic companion is not far from reality. The
influence of AI has evolved from machine intelligence to Artificial General Intelligence in three stages:
The first stage of AI involved expert systems such as chatbots like Eliza and IBM Watson which were
good in answering under certain conditions and domain of knowledge and context.
The second wave of AI technology was based on machine learning which included the systems that
were designed to learn an d perceive. These systems included voice-enabled digital assistants and
more efficient chatbots and Robotics Process Automation System.
The Third stage had systems that receive, understand and process applications without human
intervention using credit history, social scores and interaction with the application.
Asia is home to about half of the world's robots, with Japan having around 30% robots.
Future of AI
There are prospects of AI creating media platform in which the viewer or listener can choose their
needs such as genre of music. Our smart devices will not provide mechanical responses; instead they
will offer human-like responses and sensible solutions. Facial recognition technology will replace
credit cards. The list is endless; let us discuss a few prospects of Future Al.
