Fun fact, I believe that whether you are a fan of Marvel or not, you certainly know Iron Man - Tony Stark. In the story of Iron Man, Jarvis is an artificial created by Tony, Jarvis impressed the audience with his funny words. In fact, Jarvis’s name comes from “Just A Rather Very Intelligent System”.

In fact, we do not need to imagine that AI is particularly far away from us. Although you do not necessarily have direct access to it. But it more or less improves our lives.

In the infographic image below, I’ve summarized five facts you may not know about artificial intelligence. After reading them you will have a whole new perception of AI.

Evolution

Evolution is a point that is summarized based on the five facts I provided, the first being evolution. We don’t have to understand it too deeply. You can simply think of artificial intelligence as a genius with excellent learning capabilities. By evolution, I mean continuous learning through the accumulation of data. So when enough data is collected, it can predict volcanic eruptions and earthquake activity in advance. Similarly in medicine, when it gets enough information, it can diagnose cancer at an early stage. Of course, it’s not as simple as I make it out to be. It needs data provided by countless experiments and real patients. So as time goes on, AI will make more accurate diagnoses and predictions in the future.

Example

Go is a traditional Chinese game that has similarities to chess. It requires players to have a strategic layout. Occupying more areas within the same moves is how the winner is judged. In 2017, the famous Chinese Go master Ke Jie and the artificial intelligence “AlphaGo” had three games against each other. Ke Jie has been practicing Go since he was a child. He was the top Go player in the world at that time. The AlphaGo is an artificial intelligence that has been created and has been inputted to “learn” countless games. The match ended with AlphaGo winning three games. Many people were shocked because they know the unpredictability of Go. There are no two games in the world that are exactly the same. But the AlphaGo defeated the Go masters with just “data”. This is a testament to what I call “evolution”.

Enjoy it

Many movies and games create a scary atmosphere for us. About the evolution of artificial intelligence and finally, they are ready to wipe out the human race and rule the world themselves. But in fact, we do not have to be so pessimistic. So far, artificial intelligence is helpful to us in many ways, it is not limited to life, but also to technology, medicine, and war. I hope this infographic form below can help you understand AI better.
