Artificial Intelligence: A Tool At The Service Of Big Data

From the high tech to the medical sector, AI is showing all its resources, opening the doors to many global innovations.

In a rapidly changing world, modern society is undergoing many changes. The development of always new technologies has now reached such a fast and intense step that it is difficult to follow its progression. From personal devices, that are no longer considered new, such as smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, PCs, to socials, technology goes on, so far that it often surpasses itself.

In this race for innovation, it is not enough to adapt to the new, we must always question what we have, and go further. In fact, if in recent decades software development has been, and still is, at the center of technological revolution, today we are trying to go even further. For large tech industries, normal programming is no longer enough. It’s not smart enough to achieve the increasingly ambitious goals that are set. It’s therefore necessary to resort to something smarter!

So, if programming a software to tell it what to do in details is not enough, what could we do to equip hardware, such as PCs or smartphones, with greater intelligence? We can do what has always been done when looking for new ideas: observe nature. In this case, human nature, capable of providing man with a complex and surprising structure like the brain. An organ suitable for abstract thinking, able to adapt to the surrounding environment and make decisions based on inputs received from the world.

In short, an organ capable of learning from experience. In recent decades, this animal feature has been transferred to some hardware, giving them the ability to learn from experience and, consequently, making them intelligent.

In any case, we are talking about a clumsy intelligence limited to a rational sphere, made up of logical connections, rather than emotional like that of humans. Human cognitive abilities are largely driven by emotions and this, in computers, must be programmed in detail in order to reach the level of understanding that distinguishes the human being. It’s clear that this goal is possible, however, computer science has not yet succeeded in the enterprise. It is sufficient to say that the most powerful computer in the world (Fujitsu-Built K) takes 40 minutes to simulate just one second of human neural activity! In any case, reproducing human intelligence is undoubtedly a demanding and stimulating challenge for the future but, perhaps, for the present it still remains a bit premature.

Today, what has entered into everyday life is an Artificial Intelligence defined as “WeaK”, but capable of performing very useful functions. Among the most popular are the Google search engine, Alexa - Siri and Cortana, the autonomous driving of Tesla and some types of drones, the control of dangerous contents on social networks, the facial recognition of smartphones, personalized advertising contents and so on. Most of the tools that....READ MORE
