The State of AI

Computing has become synonymous with Artificial Intelligence (AI) due to the increasing use of machine learning and deep learning algorithms in various applications, including web search, personalization, spam detection, and advertising. AI is an umbrella term that encompasses several subfields, including machine learning and deep learning, which aim to emulate or supercede human intelligence. The field is progressing rapidly, with significant advances being made in areas such as healthcare and education, where large datasets are available. Companies like tech giants are leading the way in developing products and services around data and AI, while others industries are slowly adapting. With repetitive patterns becoming more easily recorded and processed, AI adds prediction, which is extremely valuable, particularly for businesses looking to cut costs and improve efficiency. As computing and AI converge, it's expected that AI will become an integral part of the ecosystem, driving growth and development in various fields.
