Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Reshaping Our World



Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping our world in several ways namely self-driving cars, romantic relationships, and cyber-security. Soon, our world will become unrecognizable because of these changes. Are you ready for this revolution? Have you started your journey towards these changes? Many people have. For example, AI systems are already present in some vehicles. They monitor hundreds of sensors to predict problems that are likely to occur in the future. You may be using one of these vehicles. Additionally, you could be on a dating site that uses AI to match you to someone else. These examples are significant, but they do not capture the impact that AI will have on our lives. More specifically, scientific advancements in this area are ongoing. They will change our approach to driving, relationships, and cyber-security completely and irreversibly. Here is how AI is changing the globe.



1. Self-Driving Cars

The number of people issued with a driving license in the US is 222 million. The number of cars in the world stands at 1.2 billion so it is likely that over 1.2 billion people know how to drive worldwide. That represents 16.4% of the world’s population. Now imagine the impact that AI would have on the world if driving your car were no longer necessary. Driving schools would have no clients. Licenses for driving would be unnecessary. The restrictions on minors traveling alone in a self-driven car would be minimal. More importantly, the potential impact of self-driving cars on traffic collisions would be groundbreaking. Remember, traffic collisions cause 1.25 million deaths globally. Most of them occur because of human error. Would they occur when a machine is driving your car? In summary, self-driving cars will have a significant impact on individual businesses, government processes, legal restrictions, and the rate of car accidents.

2. Romantic Relationships

Did you know that North America is the most urbanized continent in the world? More specifically, 82% of its population lives in cities while the global urbanization rate stands at 55%. This high rate of urbanization has its consequences on romantic relationships. More specifically, finding a partner becomes a difficult task because people in urban areas live individualized lives. They work all day. They hardly talk to their neighbors. Many of them do not have time for their families leave alone seeking someone to marry. Today, AI is changing everything. People can now find love on an app as opposed to meeting someone in a communal gathering. Some of these apps include Tinder. However, they have not embraced AI as much as they should when it comes to matching couples. Fortunately, they are adopting this technology as time goes. For example, some of them are using AI chatbots to train users on how to interact with other users on the same site. Can you imagine the number of people that this kind of training would influence especially in urban areas?

3. Cyber Security

Cyber-attacks occur when someone gains unauthorized access to your computer system. Gaining this access is possible through a number of means. They include computer viruses, Trojan horses, and spyware. The collective name for these means is malware, which stands for malicious software. In January to June 2017, hackers gained access to billion computer records. The ransom payments paid for many of these cyber-attacks totaled to $2 billion. That is an increase of 100% over the same period in 2016. These statistics suggest that cyber-attacks are an evolving problem. Fortunately, AI is evolving as well. It can help individuals, companies, and governments deal with cyber-attacks. AI works proactively to detect system failures and breaches. It resolves most of these failures and breaches in real time in addition to putting in place safeguards to prevent recurrences. Today, AI products to counter cyber-security threats are numerous. Some of them include SecureWorks, Sift Science, Deep Instinct, and Cylance (News - Alert). Try any of them today.

Conclusion

As you can tell, AI is reshaping the world our world works. It is doing that by changing the way we drive cars, enter into romantic relationships, and deal with cyber-security. These changes will have a significant impact on billions of people worldwide. Therefore, investing in AI stocks is an excellent idea (resource: Admiral Markets). Remember, transformative companies earn loads of money. You can benefit from these earnings by drawing dividends from these companies. You can also wait until their share price skyrockets and then you can sell your AI stocks at a profit.
