Week 2 - Surfing the Tsunami

Week 2 – Surfing the Tsunami

Like mentioned in my previous blog regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI is all around us.  You may also not be aware that it is exists in certain aspects of your life. Artificial intelligence advances year after year. Some examples more obvious than others. A good example of AI is Siri.  Talking to Siri – is talking to a computer.  This computer then utilizes the “cloud” and stored data to respond to you.  An example which may not be so obvious - did you know that Google piloted a self-driving vehicle? 

To reach such great heights, one must understand how the software and hardware rely on each other, as one can not go without the other.  Computers are always thinking, just like the human brain and all the processing is happening in the computer chips.  Much information is flowing between circuit boards and chips to relay messages, essentially like a map.  One message must go to one destination first to achieve what needs to be completed at destination two.

With increased artificial intelligence, the job market can also see an impact as processes become more digital.  As progress continues with artificial intelligence so does analysis.  Analysis is the most sophisticated form of artificial intelligence.  In addition to growth, neuromorphic chips are being developed which can adapt in certain ways.  This mimics the neuron in a human brain to form a network in which electrical impulses flow.  Pretty interesting, right?
