AI: A new gig revolutionizing the software industry!

Recently I came across an excellent article “SOPHIA: The first Humanoid Robot”. I will say I was very impressed by it as this was a major leap in artificial intelligence and it compelled me to think about how it will be changing our lives in countless ways in the near future. I was quite fascinated by it. When you think of AI, your mind might probably veer straight toward sci-fi books or scary movies. But, Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just for sci-fi books, it’s much beyond that. We have witnessed a lot of advancement in this section, which you’ll read in a bit. So, read on to learn what AI software is, what it isn’t and how it is helping in revolutionizing the software industry.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is basically a Software computer program which mimics human behavior by learning various data patterns and insights.

Top features of AI Technology include Machine Learning, Speech & Voice Recognition, Virtual Assistant, Robots, chat bot etc.

  • Machine Learning: It can be used for decision making.
  • Speech & Voice Recognition: This software is used to train machines to follow the users order at minimal effort.
  • Robots: It is any automatically operated machine that replaces human effort.
  • Virtual assistant: They are cloud-based programs that require internet connected devices or applications to work.
  • A fact to remember:

In japan’s FANUC plant robots are producing robots and they outnumber people. They are even beating humans in intelligence games and writing pops songs and driving us to our desired destination by choosing the shortest ways.”

The usage of AI tools in software industries is playing an important role and is setting new remarkable business returns. We ourselves are surrounded by many voice recognition software like Siri (Apple), Cortana (Microsoft), Alexa (Amazon), Google Assistant (Android devices). These AI-powered solutions are making the lives of customers easy and businesses are witnessing huge growths. No doubt that the combination of AI + ML is revolutionizing software development, but it is also helping the software developers to automate business software and enabling the development companies to reap more benefits. These emerging technologies, software, tools, and applications are the core of today’s business processes.

However, the revolutionary software development industry is shifting gears with AI-powered tools and applications to automate all business operations. In 2017, AI’s market value was around $2 billion, but by 2025 it will grow to $ 60 billion. According to Salesforce, there are now more than 75 billion smart devices around the world, resulting in trillions of data as well as interactions. These numbers reaffirm the ever-increasing impact of artificial intelligence on software companies' everyday life.
The days when we could sidle AI as just another passing trend the way past us and AI is remodeling almost every industry. The most prominent users of AI automation tools are in sectors like healthcare, E-commerce, finance, education, etc. Almost all the tech giants, especially the software development industry in the USA have realized the benefits of adopting AI and business automation applications. I am talking about the artificial intelligence world which is expanding by itself in the software development industry. The best example of this is AI BOT. The automatic chat bot integrated in almost 80% of websites to handle customer queries and comments.

  • Some Successful Ventures of AI Automation Tools in Software Development Industry are as follows:
  • AI automation tools easily convert ideas into codes to improve the productivity of a software development company.
  • AI testing tools improve the accuracy of software during the development phase and helps in fixing bugs and errors.
  • AI marketing tools can manage customers and outperform humans in making customer interactions.
  • AI-enabled tools can help to create safe and secure systems.
  • AI automated robots can do 70% of human work.In the web hosting industry, AI can optimize the server.

There are several tools for AI to automate business processes.

The recent advances in AI technology have started to change the way major business industries operate, and it’s only going to increase in speed and scale. AI doesn’t fall under just one category of technology. Rather, it is a culmination of advanced technologies. Companies are beginning to harness the abilities of these technologies to enhance their competitive advantage.

Interesting times are here. AI used to seems like a sci-fi movie , but it’s even beyond that. Never in the history, the boundaries between fact and fiction were so thin!

To summarize, the development of AI has taken the software development industries market to the peak by facilitating software to think with the intelligence opt by humans. As a technologist I can see that AI with its subsets – machine learning and deep learning are expected to rise more over the next 12 months. It will drill deeper into almost every business.
