Artificial Intelligence or simply AI is defined as intelligence exhibited by machines; It brings together work from the fields of philosophy, psychology, and computer science and contributes to and has drawn on brain science and linguistics to solve problems and to perform specific tasks in numerous fields and industries such as in education, finance, medicine, education, transportation, and much more.

Education

There have been a rise of intelligent tutoring systems, or ITS, in higher education. Advancements in natural language processing, combined with machine learning, have also enabled automatic grading of assignments as well as a data-driven understanding of individual students’ learning needs. Open Online Courses, which allows students from around the world to take classes online. Data sets collected from these large scale online learning systems have also enabled learning analytics, which will be used to improve the quality of learning at scale. Examples of how learning analytics can be used to improve the quality of learning include predicting which students are at risk of failure and analyzing student engagement.

Finance

Several large financial institutions have invested in AI engines to assist with their investment practices.Several products are emerging that utilize AI to assist people with their personal finances. For example, Digit is an app powered by artificial intelligence that automatically helps consumers optimize their spending and savings based on their own personal habits and goals.

Medicine


AI systems help scan digital images, e.g. from computed tomography, for typical appearances and to highlight conspicuous sections, such as possible diseases. A typical application is the detection of a tumor.

Recently, the AI research branch of Google launched its Google Deepmind Health project, which is used to mine medical records in order to provide better and faster health services
 

Entertainment


apps like spotify, Pandora, and Netflix provides personalized music and videos recommendations that you’re likely to be interested in based on the interests you’ve expressed and judgments or choices you’ve made in the past. They monitor the choices made and inserts them into a learning algorithm .initiatives such as Google Magenta, conducted by the Google Brain team, want to find out if an artificial intelligence can be capable of creating compelling art



Transportation


Today's cars now have AI-based driver assist features such as self-parking and advanced cruise controls. AI has been used to optimize traffic management applications, which in turn reduces wait times, energy use, and emissions by as much as 25 percent.


Toys and games


One of the instances of AI that most people are probably familiar with, video game AI has been used for a very long time—since the very first video games, in fact. But the complexity and effectiveness of that AI has increased exponentially over the past several decades, resulting in video game characters that learn your behaviors, respond to stimuli, and react in unpredictable ways.
Companies like Mattel have been creating an assortment of AI-enabled toys for kids as young as age three. Using proprietary AI engines and speech recognition tools, they are able to understand conversations, give intelligent responses and learn quickly

Online Customer Support


Artificial intelligence is implemented in chat bots or automated online assistants that can be seen on web pages. It can avail for enterprises to reduce their operation and training cost. Data that is gathered from AI helps business connect with customers faster and improve how to engage with them. Messenger bots improve main attributes of customer service, they respond instantly and are always available and knowledgeable. Many websites now offer customers the opportunity to chat with a customer support representative while they’re browsing—but not every site actually has a live person on the other end of the line. In many cases, you’re talking to a rudimentary AI. Many of these chat support bots amount to little more than automated responders, but some of them are actually able to extract knowledge from the website and present it to customers when they ask for it.
