How AI is helping us in various fields
Composers
have experimented with a variety of computational techniques for music
composition. Some works use mathematically inspired techniques, including the
use of stochastic processes or sequences, to create melodic, harmonic, and
rhythmic structures. Other examples use learnin ag-based approaches. Learning can
be knowledge-based, drawing from music theory, composer and period style to
create new musical compositions. Learning can also be example-based, where
algorithms learn to imitate style from examples of music performed by others.
The task of the algorithm is then to learn the underlying structures and
patterns that are found in musical excerpts. Such compositions can take place
in real time, allowing the algorithms to respond in real time to the
improvisations of the human performer.

Self
driving cars
For an automobile to be autonomous, it needs to be continuously
aware of its surroundings—first, by perceiving (identifying and classifying
information) and then acting on the information through the autonomous/computer
control of the vehicle. Autonomous vehicles
require safe, secure, and highly responsive solutions which
need to be able to make split-second decisions based on a detailed
understanding of the driving environment.
For the vehicle to be truly capable of driving without user
control, an extensive amount of training must be initially undertaken for the
Artificial Intelligence (AI) network to understand how to see, understand what
it’s seeing, and make the right decisions in any imaginable traffic situation.
The compute performance of the autonomous car is on par with some of the
highest performance platforms that were only possible just a few years
ago.

Suicide
prevention and Ads
AI
models predict individual risk
Current
evaluation and management of suicide risk is still highly subjective. To
improve outcomes, more objective AI strategies are needed. Promising
applications include suicide risk prediction and clinical management.
Suicide
is influenced by a variety of psychosocial, biological, environmental, economic
and cultural factors. AI can be used to explore the association between these
factors and suicide outcomes.
AI
can also model the combined effect of multiple factors on suicide, and use
these models to predict individual risk.
As
an example, researchers from Vanderbilt University recently designed an AI
model that predicted suicide risk, using electronic health records, with 84 to
92 per cent accuracy within one week of a suicide event and 80 to 86 per cent
within two years.
Moving forward with caution
As
the field of suicide prevention using artificial intelligence advances, there
are several potential barriers to be addressed:
1. Privacy:
Protective legislation will need to expand to include risks associated with AI,
specifically the collection, storage, transfer and use of confidential health
information.
2. Accuracy:
AI accuracy in correctly determining suicide intent will need to be confirmed,
specifically in regards to system biases or errors, before labeling a person as
high (versus low) risk.
3. Safety:
It is essential to ensure AI programs can appropriately respond to suicidal
users, so as to not worsen their emotional state or accidentally facilitate
suicide planning.
4. Responsibility:
Response protocols are needed on how to properly handle high risk cases that
are flagged by AI technology, and what to do if AI risk assessments differ from
clinical opinion.
5. Lack
of understanding: There is a knowledge gap among key users on how AI technology
fits into suicide prevention. More education on the topic is needed to address
this.
4. Amazon product
recommendations and pricing
1.
Amazon recognizes the patterns in user purchases and product research,
recommends them other products that they might be interested in. These
recommendations are predicted to increase sales by up to 30% and are in par
with the effect 2 stars increase create on a five star scale rating.
2.
Airlines use these kinds of patterns on their websites to alter prices per
individual to achieve maximum profits.
5. Medicine
1. Our
eye is a window into our health. Using millions of retinal scans, AI learnt the
pattern to identify diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular
risk etc. These models are loaded into handheld devices, which can be used even
by nurses, and can be shipped to remote parts of the world, improving
healthcare for everyone.
2.
Models can be used to predict serious illnesses a day prior to occurring, which
can save several lives.
3.
Tissue, X-ray and MRI scans can identify cancers, tumors and fractures better
than a human doctor can. There is one radiologist for every 12,500 people in
the world. AI can help us here.
6. Sales and service
1.
Behavioral patterns analyze and alert companies if a customer is about to
discontinue a service or product.
2. Chat
bots that can process natural language can reduce the number of human operators
needed in Customer Service department.
7. Voice Generation
1.
Google Duplex and Wave net are examples where AI can generate speech that
sounds like us. Once released, you can imagine it doing almost every
conversation. For example making a reservation and updating Google maps with
store holiday timings. Can you think of some examples? Please leave a comment
below!
8. Fraud and Credit
1.
Supervised learning models are very good at detecting fraud; it only takes 40ms
for raising the red flag.
2. Many
banks can determine credit worthiness based on the transactions, instead of
relying on credit agencies.
9. Spam Filters
1.
Everyone is bombarded with spam emails. Email services like Gmail used to have
highly skilled computer programmers, code the patterns to mark as spam. Now AI
models can identify spam and scams even if the content and the sender are
changed.
10. Education
1. We
can predict if a student is likely to dropout. This will help schools to
allocate additional resources to the student so that they can be successful.
2.
Courses can be customized to individual student’s needs and learning abilities.
3.
Plagiarism can be identified using AI with more accuracy and efficiency.
Regular brute force methods take a lot of resources and often miss subtle
variations.
12. Data Center and Grid Management
1. When
Google employed its Deep Mind AI to reduce power consumption in its data
centers, it nearly reduced that by 40%.
2.
Google is working on developing such models for power plant efficiency,
electric grid management, water usage, and efficiency of manufacturing
facilities.
12. Weather Predictions
1.
Weather is one of the most complex pattern recognition for humans to do. AI can
be easily trained to do this bidding for us with utmost accuracy.
So that for all today .
