AI research trends are bound to change as society changes.

  • Increasing consumer demand due to the spread of digital payments and technological advances
  • Increasing economic benefits from big data generation, data-based products, and new markets and platforms as digital economies evolve
  • Increasing consumer demand for a wide range of service access for more convenience, including voice recognition and navigation support

As a result of these changes, AI is evolving with a focus on building intelligent systems that interact with people and collaborate effectively.

In line with the changes, we have selected 6 key human industries to observe the possible impacts of artificial intelligence in detail.

Transportation : Improving safety, increasing utilization of time and space, and changing urban structure.

With normalized GPS use and the proliferation of smartphones, the amount and connectivity of shared location data are rapidly increasing, and traffic patterns are secured through the analysis of large-scale traffic information.

The introduction of internal and external sensors and automation technologies in commercial vehicles bring about increased driver safety, convenience, and comfort.

This is expected to have a significant impact on urban infrastructure, including data-based traffic schedules, speed limits based on traffic conditions, and changes in highway toll systems.

Home / Service Robot : Strengthening service quality and developing robots that communicate better with people

The new “smart” vacuum cleaners are more efficient than conventional vacuum cleaners through obstacle avoidance, fall prevention, self-charging, and improved modularity.

Improved memory, cloud-based machine learning, commercialization of robots due to improved voice recognition capabilities, and raising expectations for better service are all contributing factors in these advances.

Healthcare : Improving the quality of healthcare and quality of life

With growing applications and hardware being introduced to the market such as mobile health tracking apps, personal monitoring devices, and testing devices, consumers can get in better control of their own health.

For clinics, improvements in electronic health record keeping and analysis, surgical robots, and service robots are improving the quality of healthcare.

Education : Improving the quality of education through customized education and online learning development

Teachers can use software to provide customized lesson plans catered to each student’s learning level, thus serving as good teachers.

This would also help improve the quality of education through analyzing the data collected from online lectures to conduct research, and further improving personalized education.

Poverty : Mitigating social inequality issues and presenting solutions

AI tools can help create more accurate predictive models for governments to use limited budgets more efficiently in solving social problems.

For example, governments can work with grocery retailers to set up a supply chain for distributing unsold/close to expiration date food appropriately to those who need it before it goes bad.

Entertainment : Customized, interactive entertainment

Companies can deliver customized content to consumers based on large amounts of data that show consumer preferences and usage characteristics, using sophisticated tools and applications.

AI technology is currently limited to playing a specific role and requires a variety of specialized research to be used in each field.

And the positive effects of artificial intelligence and our society will depend on how we utilize AI and on how we prepare for a society that will be changed by AI.

Mind AI is working to develop an AGI, which can be applied to various industries.
