5 Industries Setting the Standard in AI Use

Artificial intelligence is everywhere around us. Its application is seen in many fields, and there are more than a few examples of industries using it to a high extent already. While seen as futuristic only a few years ago, today AI is safely becoming a mainstay in our society. Here are just some of the applications across various fields where its presence is already more than felt.

Healthcare

AI is not to be taken lightly. People saving lives haven't. Artificial intelligence is already being used in the domain of healthcare, and doctors and medical experts are using it on a daily basis. In some fields, it can already assist doctors in making a quicker diagnosis, while in dental science and pneumology, it can read X-rays and see details not visible to the doctor's eye. Furthermore, it is an ideal tool in aiding medical experts in predicting health risks. In some cases, when fed the data, it can predict possible future disease in patients, creating a new field of preventive medicine. AI as a tool in healthcare has the patient's well-being in mind, as well as the option of reducing doctors' and nurses' working hours, making an overall impact on the levels of medical assistance each patient receives.

Graphic Design and Art

Artificial intelligence has ensured that the universe of graphic design has changed forever. Today, you can use an AI art generator and create an image via words and pieces of text. Artists nowadays have their work being done with more quality in less time. Also, folks who are not professional artists can now create art on their own. Of course, there are levels to this work. It is not like AI will be able to replace real artists. Yet, those who fail to learn how to use it will be left behind. With the number of tools that can make your life easier as an online artist, not using AI would be foolish. At the end of the day, more work can be done in less time, with no reduction in quality, and this is an advantage one needs to use.

Retail and Shopping

As we said, AI has penetrated many industries, and it has done so on so many levels. With retail and shopping, it is making an impact at the bottom of the barrel, where the direct contact with the customers is made. AI is already able to recognize the customer's needs. Online shops excel in this domain as their artificial intelligence is used to predict customer behaviour based on their previous purchases and the pages they've visited. When you see an ad or recommendation online and think this was just what you needed, it was all AI work. While being in touch with your customers is vital for retail and shopping, AI does so much more for this industry. It can aid in managing stock, keep the shelves full, and make alerts when the store is low on certain goods.

Automotive

The car industry recognizes the importance of AI from the get-go. Smart cars have been in the works for some time now. Self-driving cars are not the norm just yet, but more than a few have already hit the streets. Thanks to artificial intelligence, smart cars are now able to access and understand the data sent by sensors and cameras, making it clear to AI what transpires on the streets. Turning the corner, stopping, and speeding up or slowing down are all operations that AI is able to handle. Even the cars we drive every day get more and more reliant on AI. Lane assist software and parking have been handled by AI for some time now in many newer cars. The best part is that most car designers are already reliant on AI for new ideas and for the whole car design process. Also, down on the ground, in factories, artificial intelligence and robotics have been around for a bit longer than you think, helping on the assembly lines.

Entertainment and Media

Did you know that Netflix and Spotify use AI all the time, mostly to help the users curate playlists and decide what to watch next? AI can see what you've watched or listened to previously and, based on available data, make future suggestions. Artificial intelligence is also present in video game development. It can make characters feel more real, aiding in developing their characters and expanding stories. Some games already use AI in creating maps and levels, making it a better experience for the end user. These days, most special effects in movies and television are created via AI. It makes production faster and cheaper, helping studios churn out products for viewers at a higher rate. It's all around us, and so far, the AI experience has been anything but negative. We hope it stays like that.
