Higher Education in Artificial Intelligence

-
AI is being implemented in university settings to aid in student learning, particularly for students with learning disabilities. With more students learning remotely and universities seeking ways to further provide assistive technologies to students who need it. These students include the 20,000 deaf or hard of hearing students who attend post-secondary educational institutions each year. AI is being used to capture important data, provide transcription and captioning live in lectures, and more. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which came into law in 1990, pushed many universities to invest more in assistive technologies which are rooted in AI. Now, universities are moving from a reactionary approach to this law which requires them to provide tools, but to implement AI technologies to aid in the learning of all students and create personalized learning experiences for them through video recommendations and more data.

Video games

Main article: Artificial intelligence (video games)
In video games, artificial intelligence is routinely used to generate dynamic purposeful behavior in non-player characters (NPCs). In addition, well-understood AI techniques are routinely used for pathfinding. Some researchers consider NPC AI in games to be a "solved problem" for most production tasks. Games with more atypical AI include the AI director of Left 4 Dead (2008) and the neuroevolutionary training of platoons in Supreme Commander 2 (2010).

Military

The main military applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are to enhance C2, Communications, Sensors, Integration and Interoperability.[316] Artificial Intelligence technologies enables coordination of sensors and effectors, threat detection and identification, marking of enemy positions, target acquisition, coordination and deconfliction of distributed Join Fires between networked combat vehicles and tanks also inside Manned and Unmanned Teams (MUM-T).
Worldwide annual military spending on robotics rose from US$5.1 billion in 2010 to US$7.5 billion in 2015. Military drones capable of autonomous action are widely considered a useful asset. Many artificial intelligence researchers seek to distance themselves from military applications of AI.

Audit

For financial statements audit, AI makes continuous audit possible. AI tools could analyze many sets of different information immediately. The potential benefit would be the overall audit risk will be reduced, the level of assurance will be increased and the time duration of audit will be reduced.

Advertising

It is possible to use AI to predict or generalize the behavior of customers from their digital footprints in order to target them with personalized promotions or build customer personas automatically. A documented case reports that online gambling companies were using AI to improve customer targeting.
Moreover, the application of Personality computing AI models can help reducing the cost of advertising campaigns by adding psychological targeting to more traditional sociodemographic or behavioral targeting.

Art

Further information: Computer art
Artificial Intelligence has inspired numerous creative applications including its usage to produce visual art. The exhibition "Thinking Machines: Art and Design in the Computer Age, 1959–1989" at MoMA provides a good overview of the historical applications of AI for art, architecture, and design. Recent exhibitions showcasing the usage of AI to produce art include the Google-sponsored benefit and auction at the Gray Area Foundation in San Francisco, where artists experimented with the deepdream algorithm and the exhibition "Unhuman: Art in the Age of AI," which took place in Los Angeles and Frankfurt in the fall of 2017. In the spring of 2018, the Association of Computing Machinery dedicated a special magazine issue to the subject of computers and art highlighting the role of machine learning in the arts. The Austrian Ars Electronica and Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna opened exhibitions on AI in 2019. The Ars Electronica's 2019 festival "Out of the box" extensively thematized the role of arts for a sustainable societal transformation with AI.

Scientists turn brain signals into speech with help from AI

The technology could lead to devices that restore speaking ability to people who have lost it as a result of brain injury or neurological disorders. An electrode array placed on the brain could help people who've lost the ability to speak. Using electrodes and  artificial intelligence , scientists in California have built a device that can translate brain signals into speech. They say their experimental decoder could lead ultimately to a brain implant that restores the ability to speak to people who have lost it as a result of stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. “This is an exhilarating proof of principle that with technology that is already within reach, we should be able to  build a device that is clinically viable in patients with speech loss ,” Edward Chang, a professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, and the senior author of a paper describing th...

Why Self-Driving Cars Must Be Programmed to Kill

-
Image
Self-driving cars are already cruising the streets. But before they can become widespread, car makers must solve an impossible ethical dilemma of algorithmic morality. When it comes to automotive technology, self-driving cars are all the rage. Standard features on many ordinary cars include intelligent cruise control, parallel parking programs, and even automatic overtaking—features that allow you to sit back, albeit a little uneasily, and let a computer do the driving. So it’ll come as no surprise that many car manufacturers are beginning to think about cars that take the driving out of your hands altogether (see “ Drivers Push Tesla’s Autopilot Beyond Its Abilities ”). These cars will be safer, cleaner, and more fuel-efficient than their manual counterparts. And yet they can never be perfectly safe. And that raises some difficult issues. How should the car be programmed to act in the event of an unavoidable accident? Should it minimize the loss of life, even if it means sacrif...

List of programming languages for artificial intelligence

-
Artificial intelligence researchers have developed several specialized  programming languages for artificial intelligence : Languages AIML (meaning "Artificial Intelligence Markup Language") is an XML dialect for use with  A.L.I.C.E. -type chatterbots. IPL was the first language developed for artificial intelligence. It includes features intended to support programs that could perform general problem solving, such as lists, associations, schemas (frames), dynamic memory allocation, data types, recursion, associative retrieval, functions as arguments, generators (streams), and cooperative multitasking. Lisp is a practical mathematical notation for computer programs based on lambda calculus. Linked lists are one of the Lisp language's major data structures, and Lisp source code is itself made up of lists. As a result, Lisp programs can manipulate source code as a data structure, giving rise to the...
