in various Domains
You must be aware of how AI is revolutionizing the way we live and get things done. It
learns, reasons and does self-correction. Since it has become a master with its applications,
we, in this article will understand that how it is advancing dramatically.
Starting with the identifying pattern, it has made data more efficient. In today’s time, to gain
more insight out of the data, businesses have changed a lot in the course of time.
Humongous data is getting analyzed to map poverty and climate change. The automation in
agricultural practices and irrigation is happening at a fast pace. How can I forget the
healthcare sector and predictions of consumption patterns, streamline energy-usage and
waste-management?
It all started with knowledge reasoning:
•Planning
•Machine Learning
•Natural Language Processing
•Computer Vision
•Robotics
•Artificial General Intelligence

various Domains

Following the reasoning process, humans were able to land themselves into
something artificial. This intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence
processes which is done by machines, especially computer systems. These
processes include learning, reasoning, and self-correction. Its applications
consist of expert systems, speech recognition, and machine vision. Artificial
Intelligence is advancing dramatically. It is already transforming our world
socially, economically and politically.

 Artificial Intelligence in
Healthcare
This is the most important thing that humans need in today’s generation. Health is wealth,
and the rate at which humans are compromising on it is really shocking.

With AI, natural language is a boon. It helps to respond to the questions that are asked for.
It enables workflow assistants which help the doctors to free up their schedules and also
reduce the time and cost by streamlining processes. They also open new avenues for the
industry. With that, AI-powered technology helps pathologists in analyzing samples of
tissue and help the diagnosis to be more accurate.

1. It helps to support decision making and research.

2. Help to integrate activities in medical, software and cognitive sciences.
3. Help to offer a content-rich discipline for the future scientific medical
communities.

Diagnosis and treatment applications :

Diagnosis and treatment of disease has been a focus of AI since at least the 1970s, when
MYCIN was developed at Stanford for diagnosing blood-borne bacterial infections. This and
other early rule-based systems showed promise for accurately diagnosing and treating
disease, but were not adopted for clinical practice. They were not substantially better than
human diagnosticians, and they were poorly integrated with clinician workflows and
medical record systems.

Artificial Intelligence In Medical

Diagnosis

 Artificial Intelligence in
Healthcare(contd.)
More recently, IBM's Watson has received considerable attention in the media for
its focus on precision medicine, particularly cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Watson employs a combination of machine learning and NLP capabilities.
However, early enthusiasm for this application of the technology has faded as
customers realized the difficulty of teaching Watson how to address particular
types of cancer and of integrating Watson into care processes and systems.
Watson is not a single product but a set of ‘cognitive services’ provided through
application programming interfaces (APIs), including speech and language, vision,
and machine learning-based data-analysis programs. Most observers feel that the
Watson APIs are technically capable, but taking on cancer treatment was an
overly ambitious objective. Watson and other proprietary programs have also
suffered from competition with free ‘open source’ programs provided by some
vendors, such as Google's TensorFlow.

7
 Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare(contd.)
Implementation issues with AI bedevil many healthcare organizations. Although rule-
based systems incorporated within EHR systems are widely used, including at the
NHS, they lack the precision of more algorithmic systems based on machine learning.
These rule-based clinical decision support systems are difficult to maintain as medical
knowledge changes and are often not able to handle the explosion of data and knowledge
based on genomic, proteomic, metabolic and other ‘omic-based’ approaches to care.

This situation is beginning to change, but it is mostly present in research labs and in tech
firms, rather than in clinical practice. Scarcely a week goes by without a research lab claiming
that it has developed an approach to using AI or big data to diagnose and treat a disease with
equal or greater accuracy than human clinicians. Many of these findings are based on
radiological image analysis, though some involve other types of images such as retinal
scanning or genomic-based precision medicine. Since these types of findings are based on
statistically-based machine learning models, they are ushering in an era of evidence- and
probability-based medicine, which is generally regarded as positive but brings with it many
challenges in medical ethics and patient/clinician relationships.

8
 Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare(contd.)

Tech firms and startups are also working

assiduously on the same issues. Google, for
example, is collaborating with health
delivery networks to build prediction
models from big data to warn clinicians of
high-risk conditions, such as sepsis and
heart failure. Google, Enlitic and a variety
of other startups are developing AI-derived
image interpretation algorithms. Jvion
offers a ‘clinical success machine’ that
identifies the patients most at risk as well
as those most likely to respond to
treatment protocols. Each of these could
provide decision support to clinicians
seeking to find the best diagnosis and MRI scan of the human brain
treatment for patients.

9
 Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare(contd.)

There are also several firms that focus specifically on diagnosis and treatment
recommendations for certain cancers based on their genetic profiles. Since many
cancers have a genetic basis, human clinicians have found it increasingly complex to
understand all genetic variants of cancer and their response to new drugs and protocols.
Firms like Foundation Medicine and Flatiron Health, both now owned by Roche,
specialise in this approach.

Both providers and payers for care are also using ‘population health’ machine learning
models to predict populations at risk of particular diseases or accidents or to predict
hospital readmission. These models can be effective at prediction, although they sometimes
lack all the relevant data that might add predictive capability, such as patient socio-
economic status.

10
 Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare(contd.)

Data Management:
Artificial Intelligence is benefiting healthcare organizations by implementing cognitive
technology to unwind a huge amount of medical records and perform power diagnosis.
Take, for example, Nuance the prediction service provider firm that uses Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning to prescient the intent of users.

Artificial Intelligence In Early Detection

11
 Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare(contd.)

Artificial Intelligence has played a key role in the early prediction of medical conditions such
as heart attacks. Many AI-based wearable health trackers have been developed to monitor
the health of a person and display warnings when the device collects something unusual or
unlikely. Examples of such wearable's include Fitbit, Apple watch, and many others.

‘Precaution is always better than cure’, this is the motto behind the latest release of the
Apple watch.

•Apple used Artificial Intelligence to build a watch that monitors an individual’s health.
•This watch collects data such as a person’s heart rate, sleep cycle, breathing rate, activity
level, blood pressure, etc. and keeps a record of these measures 24/7.
•This collected data is then processed and analyzed by using Machine Learning and Deep
learning algorithms to build a model that predicts the risk of a heart attack.

Thanks to the Apple watch, an individual named Scott Killian saved his life.

Artificial Intelligence In Medical Assistance

As the need for medical assistance has
grown, the development of AI-based virtual
nurses has increased. According to a recent
survey, Virtual nursing assistants corresponds
to the maximum near-term value of USD 20
billion by 2027.

Sensely is one such example of a virtual nurse

that implements Natural Language
Processing, speech recognition, Machine
Learning and wireless integration with
medical devices such as blood pressure cuffs
to provide medical assistance to patients.

13
 Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

What is AI in It is the use of AI for Diagnostics, Drug Development, Treatment

medicine? Personalisation and Gene Editing

1. Diagnose diseases

Correctly diagnosing diseases takes years of medical training. Even then, diagnostics is often
an arduous, time-consuming process. In many fields, the demand for experts far exceeds the
available supply. This puts doctors under strain and often delays life-saving patient
diagnostics.

Machine Learning is particularly helpful in areas where the diagnostic information a doctor
examines is already digitized.

14
 Artificial Intelligence in Medicine(contd.)

Such as:
•Detecting lung cancer or strokes based
on CT scans
•Assessing the risk of sudden cardiac
death or other heart diseases based
on electrocardiograms and cardiac MRI
images
•Classifying skin lesions in skin images
•Finding indicators of diabetic
retinopathy in eye images

15

 Artificial Intelligence in Medicine(contd.)

2. Develop drugs faster

Developing drugs is a notoriously expensive process. Many of the analytical processes
involved in drug development can be made more efficient with Machine Learning. This has
the potential to shave off years of work and hundreds of millions in investments.

17
 Artificial Intelligence in Medicine(contd.)

AI has already been used successfully in all of the 4 main stages in drug development:

✓Stage 1: Identifying targets for intervention

✓Stage 2: Discovering drug candidates
✓Stage 3: Speeding up clinical trials
✓Stage 4: Finding Biomarkers for diagnosing the disease

18
 Artificial Intelligence in Medicine(contd.)

3. Personalize treatment

Different patients respond to drugs and treatment schedules differently. So personalized

treatment has enormous potential to increase patients’ lifespans. But it’s very hard to
identify which factors should affect the choice of treatment.

Machine Learning can automate this complicated statistical work – and help discover which
characteristics indicate that a patient will have a particular response to a particular
treatment. So the algorithm can predict a patient’s probable response to a particular
treatment.

The system learns this by cross-referencing similar patients and comparing their treatments
and outcomes. The resulting outcome predictions make it much easier for doctors to design
the right treatment plan

19
 Artificial Intelligence in Medicine(contd.)

4. Improve gene editing

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic
Repeats (CRISPR), specifically the CRISPR-Cas9
system for gene editing, is a big leap forward in our
ability to edit DNA cost effectively – and precisely,
like a surgeon.

This technique relies on short guide RNAs (sgRNA) to

target and edit a specific location on the DNA. But
the guide RNA can fit multiple DNA locations – and
that can lead to unintended side effects (off-target
effects). The careful selection of guide RNA with the
least dangerous side effects is a major bottleneck in
the application of the CRISPR system.

20
 Artificial Intelligence in Medicine(contd.)

4. Improve gene
editing(contd.)
Machine Learning models have been proven to produce the best results when it comes
to predicting the degree of both guide-target interactions and off-target effects for a given
sgRNA. This can significantly speed up the development of guide RNA for every region of
human DNA.

Summary

AI is already helping us more efficiently diagnose diseases, develop drugs, personalize

treatments, and even edit genes.
But this is just the beginning. The more we digitize and unify our medical data, the more we
can use AI to help us find valuable patterns – patterns we can use to make accurate, cost-
effective decisions in complex analytical processes.

How Is Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning Used In Engineering?

22
 Artificial Intelligence in Engineering(contd.)

Just like with many other industries, artificial intelligence and machine learning
are changing engineering. Even though these technologies are now seemingly
"everywhere," we shouldn't overlook how truly incredible they are and the
remarkable things they enable us to do today and will allow us to do tomorrow.
For engineers, artificial intelligence and machine learning might cause the tasks
they do to evolve, but it can also help them do things they weren't capable of
before.

23
 Artificial Intelligence in Engineering(contd.)

How are artificial intelligence and machine learning used in engineering?

Artificial intelligence that’s used in the engineering sector uses software and hardware
components. As machines become more sophisticated, they will be able to support not
only smart production lines and complex manufacturing tasks, but will also be able to
design and improve tasks over time—with little or no human intervention—through
machine learning. Robots have been used by automobile manufacturers on the
production line for quite some time and have gone from completing simple engineering
tasks to now handling many precision moves required for some of the most intricate
parts of the process.

24
 Artificial Intelligence in Engineering(contd.)

Many of the tasks engineers are responsible for, such as design and simulation, can be
enhanced with the support of artificial intelligence tools. Consider how Computer Aided
Design (CAD) was once just a supplemental tool to engineering, and today it is a
fundamental part of the daily workflow. These tools will help improve the capabilities of
engineers and make it possible to explore design and weight-saving options that weren't
ever possible before.

Another way artificial intelligence can support engineering tasks is to break down silos
between departments and help to effectively manage data to glean insights from it. AI
programs can provide automation for low-value tasks freeing up engineers to perform
higher-value tasks. By using machine learning to discover patterns in the data, machines
will be incredibly important to help with engineering judgment.

25
 Artificial Intelligence in Financial Services

If there's one technology that's paying dividends, it's AI in finance. Artificial intelligence
has given the world of banking and the financial industry as a whole a way to meet the
demands of customers who want smarter, more convenient, safer ways to access, spend,
save and invest their money.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN FINANCE

Artificial intelligence in finance is transforming the way we interact with money. AI is
helping the financial industry to streamline and optimize processes ranging from
credit decisions to quantitative trading and financial risk management.

CREDIT DECISIONS

27
 Artificial Intelligence in Financial Services(contd.)

Credit is king. A recent study found 77% of consumers preferred paying with a debit or credit
card compared to only 12% who favored cash. But easier payment options isn't the only
reason the availability of credit is important to consumers.

Having good credit aids in receiving favorable financing options, landing jobs and renting an
apartment, to name a few examples. With so many of life's important necessities hinging
on credit history, the approval process for loans and cards is more important than ever.

Artificial intelligence solutions are helping banks and credit lenders make smarter
underwriting decisions by utilizing a variety of factors that more accurately assess
traditionally underserved borrowers, like millennials, in the credit decision making process.

Here are a few examples of companies helping the financial industry rethink the
underwriting process.

46
 Artificial Intelligence in Marketing

Marketing is a way to sugar coat your products

to attract more customers. We, humans, are
pretty good at sugar coating, but what if an
algorithm or a bot is there solely for the purpose
of marketing a brand or a company? It would do
a pretty awesome job!
In the early 2000s, if we searched an online store
to find a product without knowing it’s exact
name, it would become a nightmare to find the
product. But now when we search for an item on
any e-commerce store, we get all possible results
related to the item. It’s like these search engines
are reading our minds! In a matter of seconds, we
get a list of all relevant items. An example of this
is finding the right movies on Netflix.

47
 Artificial Intelligence in Marketing

One reason why we’re all obsessed with Netflix and chill is because, Netflix provides
highly accurate predictive technology based on customer’s reactions to films. It examines
millions of records to suggest shows and films that you might like based on your previous
actions and choices of films. As the data set grows, this technology is getting smarter and
smarter every day.

With the growing advancement in AI, in the near future, it may be possible for consumers
on the web to buy products by snapping a photo of it. Companies like CamFind and their
competitors are experimenting this already.

49
 Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture

Here’s an alarming fact, the world will need to produce 50 percent more food by 2050
because we’re literally eating up everything! The only way this can be possible is if we use
our resources more carefully. With that being said, AI can help farmers get more from the
land while using resources more sustainably.

Issues such as climate change, population growth, and food security concerns have pushed
the industry into seeking more innovative approaches to improve crop yield.

Organizations are using automation and robotics to help farmers find more efficient ways
to protect their crops from weeds.

Artificial Intelligence in Gaming

52
 Artificial Intelligence in Gaming

Over the past few years, Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of the gaming
industry. In fact, one of the biggest accomplishments of AI is in the gaming industry.

DeepMind’s AI-based AlphaGo software, which is famous for defeating Lee Sedol, the
world champion in the game of GO, is one of the most significant accomplishment in the
field of AI.

Shortly after the victory, DeepMind created an advanced version of AlphaGo

called AlphaGo Zero which defeated the predecessor in an AI-AI face off. Unlike the
original AlphaGo, which DeepMind trained over time by using a large amount of data and
supervision, the advanced system, AlphaGo Zero taught itself to master the game.

Other examples of Artificial Intelligence in gaming include the First Encounter Assault
Recon, popularly known as F.E.A.R, which is a first-person shooter video game.

53

54
 Artificial Intelligence in Space Exploration

Space expeditions and discoveries always require analyzing vast amounts of data.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning is the best way to handle and process data
on this scale. After rigorous research, astronomers used Artificial Intelligence to sift
through years of data obtained by the Kepler telescope in order to identify a distant
eight-planet solar system.

Artificial Intelligence is also being used for NASA’s next rover mission to Mars, the Mars
2020 Rover. The AEGIS, which is an AI-based Mars rover is already on the red planet.
The rover is responsible for autonomous targeting of cameras in order to perform
investigations on Mars.

 Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous Vehicles

For the longest time, self-driving cars have been a buzzword in the AI industry. The
development of autonomous vehicles will definitely revolutionaries the transport
system.

Companies like Waymo conducted several test drives in Phoenix before deploying their
first AI-based public ride-hailing service. The AI system collects data from the vehicles
radar, cameras, GPS, and cloud services to produce control signals that operate the
vehicle.

Advanced Deep Learning algorithms can accurately predict what objects in the vehicle’s
vicinity are likely to do. This makes Waymo cars more effective and safer.

57
 Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous Vehicles

Another famous example of an autonomous vehicle is Tesla’s self-driving car. Artificial

Intelligence implements computer vision, image detection and deep learning to build cars
that can automatically detect objects and drive around without human intervention.

Elon Musk talks a ton about how AI is implemented in tesla’s self-driving cars and
autopilot features. He quoted that,

“Tesla will have fully self-driving cars ready by the end of the year
and a “robotaxi” version – one that can ferry passengers without
anyone behind the wheel – ready for the streets next year”.
