ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EMERGES AS THE SUPERHERO OF TECH ERA Posted on : Aug 27 - 2020

The decade of believing that AI could enslave humans is off

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed the world for the better. AI and robotics have existed in fictional stories and movies for a very long time. They were shown both at good and bad lights. However, in the tech era, AI is unfolding its features to be a lifesaver.

Everyone seems to be suddenly interested in AI. It changes the face of products and services it involves. AI has worked as a push-up element in various sectors including business, marketing, agriculture, banking, etc. There is no industry that doesn’t have the touch of AI. Somehow, everyone is a beneficiary of emerging technology.

The recent trend in AI is quite different from how it worked so far. Scientists and researchers are finding ways to improve AI to a place where it can save human lives. Keep away all those soap operas and movies where you saw robots and AI enslaving humans. That is far beyond reality for now. Henceforth, AI applications are featured to make humans live safely.

Artificial Intelligence applications that could salvage life

Autonomous vehicles to Impede accidents

Vehicles are a part of a human’s journey. No one can imagine a world without vehicles. They were one of the beginnings of the evolution of technology and mechanism. Today, we have far advanced vehicles on the road. Still, technological growth couldn’t save human lives.

According to a report, in a year around 1.35 million people are killed on roadways around the world. In a day, 3,700 people are killed globally in road traffic crashes involving cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks or pedestrians. The most vulnerable are pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists.

It is too late to sensitize people to minimize the use of vehicles or follow traffic instructions properly. The cat is out of the bag already. Therefore, to tackle the situation AI can be used. The introduction of autonomous vehicles is a revolution to the mechanical industry. The vehicles main concern is how people could share the road safely without hurting each other. Autonomous vehicles have computer vision attached with which it could detect and prevent accidents. But these vehicles are yet to bang the road.

AI applications are acting as accident preventers. An application named !important is designed to minimize the risk of accidents with all certified connected vehicles like cars, trucks, buses, autonomous vehicles and construction equipment. It can even feature drones. The app creates a virtual protection zone around pedestrians, wheelchair users, cyclists and motorcyclists using their devices. If a connected vehicle goes near !important vehicle, the brakes are triggered automatically. View More
