Applications

Finance
Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations, invest in stocks, and manage properties. In August 2001, robots beat humans in a simulated financial trading competition. Financial institutions have long used artificial neural network systems to detect charges or claims outside of the norm, flagging these for human investigation.

Medicine
A medical clinic can use artificial intelligence systems to organize bed schedules, make a staff rotation, and provide medical information. It is also used as clinical decision support systems for medical diagnosis.

Heavy industry
Robots have become common in many industries. Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or accidents due to a lapse in concentration and other jobs which humans may find degrading. In 1999, 1,700,000 robots were in use worldwide.

Online and telephone customer service

Artificial intelligence is implemented in automated online assistants that can be seen as avatars on web pages. It can avail for enterprises to reduce their operating and training cost. A major underlying technology to such systems is natural language processing.

Telecommunications
Many telecommunications companies make use of heuristic search in the management of their workforces.

Music
The evolution of music has always been affected by technology. With AI, scientists are trying to make the computer emulate the activities of the skillful musician. Composition, performance, music theory, sound processing are some of the major areas on which research in Music and Artificial Intelligence are focusing.

Aviation
The Air Operations Division AOD, uses AI for the rule based expert systems. The Artificial Intelligence supported Design of Aircraft, is used to help designers in the process of creating conceptual designs of aircraft.

News and publishing

The company Narrative Science makes computer generated news and reports commercially available, including summarizing team sporting events based on statistical data from the game. It also creates financial reports and real estate analyses.

Optical character recognition

Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text.

Handwriting recognition
Handwriting recognition is the ability of a computer to receive and interpret intelligible handwritten input from sources suchas paper documents, photographs, touchscreens and other devices.

Speech recognition
Speech recognition (also known as automatic speech recognition or computer speech recognition) converts spoken words to text. The term "voice recognition" is sometimes used to refer to recognition systems that must be trained to a particular speakeras is the case for most desktop recognition software.

Face recognition
A facial recognition system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. One of the ways to do this is by comparing selected facial features from the image and a facial database.

Future of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE..

 In recent years the mushrooming power, functionality and ubiquity of computers and the Internet have outstripped early forecasts about technologys rate of advancement and usefulness in everyday life.

 In those days experts who were dazzled by the seemingly miraculous calculation ability of computers thought that if only the right software were written, computers could become the artificial brains of sophisticated autonomous robots.

 Through the 1970s and 1980s, the computers readily available to robotics researchers were capable of executing about one million instructions per second (MIPS).

 In the 1990s computer power suitable for controlling a research robot shot through 10 MIPS, 100 MIPS and has lately reached 50,000 MIPS in a few high-end desktop computers with multiple processors. Apples MacBook laptop computer, achieves about 10,000 MIPS.

 Within a decade or two, they believed, such robots would be cleaning our doors, mowing our lawns and, in general, eliminating drudgery from our lives. Obviously, it hasnt turned out that way. It is true that industrial robots have transformed the manufacture of automobiles, among other products.

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a perfect example of how sometimes science moves more slowly than we would have predicted.
We are older and wiser now. The first rush of enthusiasm is gone, the computers that impressed us so much back then do not impress us now.

 It has proved very difficult to endow machines with `common sense', emotions and those other intangibles which seem to drive much intelligent human behavior.

Progress, as is normal in science, comes from building things and running experiments, and the flow of new and strange machines from artificial intelligence laboratories is not remotely exhausted. On the contrary, it has been recently invigorated by the new biological approach.

 I think that people who are worried about robots taking over the world should go to a robotics conference and watch these things try to walk. They fall over, bump into walls and end up with their legs thrashing or wheels spinning in the air.
Robots are more helpless than threatening.

 By 2030 we will see mobile robots as big as people but with cognitive abilities similar in many respects to those of a lizard. The machines will be capable of carrying out simple chores, such as vacuuming, dusting, delivering packages and taking out the garbage.

 By 2040, I believe, we will nearly achieve the original goal of robotics and a thematic mainstay of science fiction: a freely moving machine with the intellectual capabilities of a human being.

 In light of what I have just described as a history of largely unfilled goals in robotics, why do I believe that rapid progress and stunning accomplishments are in the offering?

 In recent years, however, more and more researchers have recognized the necessity and feasibility of returning to the original goals of the field.

 Increasingly, there is a call for a transition back to confronting the more difficult issues of human level intelligence
