We are at the beginning of industrial revolution 4.0. First industrial revolution was when we applied coal in the product process. Second industrial revolution happened when we applied gas, in the third industrial revolution, we started applying electronics and now in the 4th industrial revolution we are integrating IOT in our production process. Notice every time the industrial revolution happened to increase efficiency of the production process, also to increase the quality of products and ensure standardization. Also after every industrial revolution, the nature of jobs in industry changed.
This is happening yet again. So is Artificial Intelligence (AI) going to change everything or nothing? I am not sure of everything but I am confident it will change many things, including the nature of jobs in many fields ranging from manufacturing sector to health care to governance.
I would like to highlight some major changes that AI brought and will bring, One of those is driver assistance systems, maybe sooner we will have full self-driving cars, and if that happens then we can reduce road accidents and casualties caused by those situations caused by bad human driving behaviour. Second major change is in computer vision. Now with the help of an AI we can reconstruct old images, make a 3rd environment from single images, with these advancements we can develop a good environment which will help in the training process of professionals like pilots and surgeons. Third major change is in bioinformatics. We are currently using AI in protein structure prediction, drug discovery, solving problem of polypharmacy
With AI, we are improving the quality of life of almost every human being.
