Or perhaps Arnold Schwarzenegger or Ray Liotta\u2019s characters in the Terminator series? Even worse: the Skynet Computer that created the Terminators? With the new Star Wars being released, perhaps C-3PO warrants inclusion in the fictional pantheon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6663 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/c-3po-e1450383527546.png\" alt=\"c-3po Artificial Intelligence\" width=\"1018\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But did you think of advanced IVR (Integrated Voice Response) systems that assist you when on the phone with your financial institution or telecommunications provider? What about the advanced chess programs? Like IBM\u2019s Deep Blue, that you may or may not have matched wits against. Or their computer that beat a human on the game show Jepoardy?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_is_here\"><\/span>AI is here!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We imagine Artificial Intelligence through Hollywood lens as an impressive, sentient technology (often ominous and threatening). Also, we usually feel we should fear or at least laugh at it. But if you use Apple\u2019s Siri, or Amazon.com\u2019s Echo, you are deeply interacting with artificial intelligence, but you may not realize it because it seems so mundane, and certainly not threatening. We don\u2019t just talk through our phones anymore. Now, we often talk <em>to<\/em> our phones. Also, we tell them to do something and they react. The new version of Dragon Dictate software was just released for computers. Earlier iterations allowed you to dictate correspondence directly to your computer, with the results from your spoken words as text in your email or word processing document. The latest version allows you to interact with your computer in natural language.<\/p>\n<p>Neural networks have long since left the laboratory and are used in machine learning in ways that are often invisible to the end user. When you call your bank, it is very likely that they have anti-fraud software that has \u201clearned\u201d your voice over your last few calls. So even though you may get a different customer service agent every time you call, the system has learned your voice so that if someone else calls and claims to be you, the system knows that \u201csomething doesn\u2019t sound right\u201d and notifies the agent to take additional measures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/data-brain-e1450383214345.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6666 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/data-brain-e1450383475202-1030x262.jpg\" alt=\"Neural Network Artificial\" width=\"1030\" height=\"262\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amazon tracks your past purchases. Then, it determines, based on your history, \u201cif you purchased that, you may also like this.\u201d Besides, Pandora and other music services analyze the songs you say you like and the ones you skip over. By doing that, they learn your musical tastes, heuristically predicting songs you may like that you have never heard of before.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intelligent_applications\"><\/span>Intelligent applications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For another example of how deep learning works, look no further than the palm of your hand. Do you have the Shazam app on your smartphone? Shazam \u201clistens\u201d to a song you may be hearing in a car on the radio, in a nightclub or the beach. Wherever, and even with background noise, low quality, or people talking over it, can amazingly accurately. Tell you the name of the song and artist. This is a wickedly difficult task for a computer, even though our brains automatically filter out context from background noise.\u00a0 Shazam is fed thousands, perhaps millions of songs of all types on the backend. But it has to match that up, practically in real time with imperfect noise fed through a smartphone microphone to provide a match.<\/p>\n<p>All of these are different everyday applications of AI (Artificial Intelligence). It is already present in our lives and it will become more and more so. It is not ominous, it is not scary, and is often so well implemented that it goes unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deep_Learning\"><\/span>Deep Learning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So what is Artificial Intelligence destiny? One clue is in technology, by looking at what Google is doing. Google has just decided to freely share its \u201cTensorFlow\u201d deep learning software technology. It is already available to the world via Open Source, allowing anyone technically competent enough to employ it in their own innovation, programming in either C++ or Python. TensorFlow can mine through complex big data and learn heuristically.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/google-tensor-flow-logo-S.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6674\" src=\"http:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/google-tensor-flow-logo-S-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Google Tensor Flow Logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a>A technology like TensorFlow can allow a computer to \u201clook at\u201d thousands or millions of photos and learn what a cat looks like, learn what a car looks like, and learn the difference between say, a motorcycle and a bicycle, so that when another picture is presented, the computer might determine the contents, even though it has never \u201cseen\u201d that particular image before.<\/p>\n<p>Take a moment to think about the possibilities. \u201cTrained\u201d in radiology, a computer can scan x-rays for cancer. It can even analyze large quantities of blood samples to find previously unnoticed markers that can indicate disease or other health concerns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_examples\"><\/span>Some examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This is already happening in applications like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metamind.io\/\" class=\"broken_link external\" rel=\"nofollow\">MetaMind<\/a>, which has uses from the aforementioned medical image processing, to food recognition. Companies and developers can design applications using Metamind\u2019s artificial intelligence and deep learning capabilities to create heretofore impossible solutions to complex problems that in the past may have required human brainpower to solve, manually and one at a time.<\/p>\n<p>For an everyday application that you may already be using, look no further than <a href=\"http:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2015\/05\/28\/pinterest-improves-related-pins-with-deep-learning-plans-product-recommendations-using-object-recognition\/\" class=\"broken_link external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pinterest.<\/a> Its computers use deep learning artificial intelligence to figure out what is in the photograph and what it is about. That way it can serve up similar photographs. This is how Pinterest calculates \u201cRelated Pins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_conclusion\"><\/span>In conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All of these artificial intelligence applications are a lot friendlier. Also, they are technically a lot more sophisticated than a murderous talking autopilot aboard a spaceship. Artificial Intelligence is already here.
