What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ability of machines that mimic and display “human” cognitive skills in various aspects such as learning and problem solving. According to Oxford dictionary, artificial intelligence is defined as”the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.”
The term AI was founded at Dartmouth College in 1956 where it experiences drop in 1974 and revived again at 1980s due to competition among nations.
Nowadays, AI are used in many ways behind the scenes which impact our everyday lives. Metaverse is a AI driven virtual realistic platform which can worth around USD 1,607.12 billion by 2030.
Following are 3 unique applications that AI can do.
Application 1 of Artificial Intelligence: Accelerate alternative physic discovery
E=MC² is the iconic equation by Albert Einstein which derived from these 3 variables namely energy, mass, and velocity. Without the concepts of this variables, Einstein couldn’t be able to discover relativity. Therefore, identification of relevant variables is extremely important in physics so as to accelerate scientific discovery.
According to research study from Columbia Engineering researchers published in Nature Computational Science, “AI can help scientists uncover complex phenomena for which theoretical understanding is not keeping pace with the deluge of data—areas ranging from biology to cosmology.”
Application 2 of Artificial Intelligence: Protein Shape Prediction
The structures of around 200 million proteins, from almost every known organism on Earth have determined by DeepMind’s AlphaFold tool.
You can acquire the data for free which are accessible on a database set up by DeepMind, Google’s London-based AI company that developed AlphaFold, and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), an intergovernmental organization near Cambridge, UK.
Application 3 of Artificial Intelligence: Old Photo Restoration
If you have old photographs of your families and friends that have not held up well against time, regardless condition of the image, now you are able to restore these faded and cracked images, returning them to their original state, or made them even better.
“Generative Facial Prior” (GFP-GAN) is a newly-released and free to use artificial intelligence (AI) model that can repair most old photographs in just a few seconds.
