Exploring the World of Artificial Intelligence: What it is, Examples, and the Future – By Bhanuka – eLanka Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field that involves the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning, decision-making, and problem-solving. The ultimate goal of AI research is to create machines that can think and act like humans, or even surpass human intelligence in certain areas. There are many examples of AI being used in various industries and applications. In healthcare, AI is being used to analyze medical images, such as X-rays and MRIs, to identify abnormalities and assist with diagnosis. It is also being used to analyze electronic health records to identify patterns and predict patient outcomes. In finance, AI is being used to analyze financial data and make investment decisions, as well as to detect and prevent fraudulent activity. In transportation, ...

AI in self-driving cars – By Aditya Abeysinghe What are self-driving cars? A self-driving car is a vehicle that can identify its environment using sensors and other cameras and depend on less human input to drive. These vehicles are also called autonomous vehicles, driverless cars and robotic cars. However, there is no production level car that is fully driverless. These cars have been extensively tested and some models are widely purchased in the commercial automobile markets. Levels of self-driving Society of Automation Engineers (SAE) has divided the level of automation in self-driving into six levels. The first three levels require the driver to view the environment. Level 0 is driving without self-driving and a human is required to handle all functions of a vehicle. However, a vehicle may display some system issues and automate engine level electronic functionality. In the next stage, level 1, the driver and the system share ...

AI Augmented Design: A trend of designing with machine learning – By Aditya Abeysinghe Augmented Intelligence Augmented Intelligence is a subsection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) where AI algorithms are used to obtain information based on an input rather than act autonomously. A system which use AI often replaces human involvement and acts on its own when inputs are provided. AI systems often act independent to humans by making their own actions based on decisions they make. In contrast, augmented intelligence uses data to provide actions that a user could make in the form of information. Therefore, actions based on analysis of data are made by the user as opposed by the system. AI uses different techniques to act based on processed data. Classification, regression, etc. are machine learning types that are used in AI systems to process inputs. Using these types AI can act with or without human input. AI ...
