"AI in our real life"

Abstract:
Before talking about AI, the first question you may have is “What does intelligence mean?”. The most likely answer is “Think like human and act like human”. When the machine or software program simulates the advanced processes of human intelligence such as perception, processing, learning, rational reasoning and action, it is known as Artificial Intelligence (AI). There are plenty of examples such as speech processing, vision perception, robotics, logical assisting systems, game playing and many others.
For me personally the first thing coming to my mind is agent Smith from the movie “Matrix”. On AI language, he is an intelligent agent that perceives and acts so that to maximize goal achievement given the available information. Here we have an agent description. It is a function from percept histories to actions: F: P → A.
AI today is associated not only with scientific research, but the world of invention and development. It’s what everybody has access to, for instance, like Siri, when our phone does quick tasks for us without us having to move our hand, or smart assistant as Alexa and OK Google, or social networking as Facebook, or online shopping ...
It is amazing having all these inventions making our life so much easier? Easy is the word that always chased humanity since ages. Washing machines and vacuum cleaners were created for easy cleaning; radio and TV for easy access to information; cars and airplanes for easy transportation; computers and internet for easy calculation and information processing.
Coming back to the topic, AI is a result of massive research and a mesh of structured data which has taken years of work. We invest our money which is totally worth the relief and luxury. Now that there are robots, self-driving cars, thinking machines, the world is reaching the peak of advancements. Today, AI is not only aimed at creating the machines that think like human beings. Rather, additional efforts are put in creating the machines that are more intelligent than the creators- the humans. Who can predict the effects of AI on our future?
