Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is a mind blowing concept but more than that it has so many everyday applications. One of the more recent, was the ability to predict the shape of the Covid virus.
My imagination was tweaked when I saw Stephen Spielberg’s A.I. film which featured a child android character programmed for love.
A.I. has in the past and in the future an important part to improve our understanding of the world we live in. It also has a frightening ability to surpass human achievements. A group of researchers have been working on a project called DeepMind. At first they concentrated on software that played games, then there was a major breakthrough when they solved a long term problem in biology, that is protein folding. Proteins in a three D form need to be correctly folded otherwise malformation can result in disease. It is quite probable that some illnesses are caused by the deterioration of correct protein folding, hence it is an important process for the body.
The beauty of artificial intelligence is its capacity to, in a very short time, read and select nuggets of information that are capable of solving and understanding future problems. It is capable of operating at the same time on numerous projects and solving problems in one sphere that could be adapted into other areas of research.
There have been super realistic bots that resemble human beings created to perhaps enhance and work within the care industry. Highly efficient and precise at giving or measuring medication, it is thought that these A.I. robotic caregivers would even be able to show loved one’s faces over their own, thus calming the anxiousness of some Dementia sufferers.
Artificial Intelligence is a tool of immense potential and if used wisely will aid human survival and help reduce suffering. In creating this kind of assimilated technology can come questions of epic proportions. There is a huge benefit in certain human need domains and A.I. could quickly help both industry and leisure areas of life. How well this occurs though, is very linked to human decision, judgement and vision.
