Top 5 Engineer AI Trends Of 2020 Flying Under The Radar During A Pandemic

Artificial Intelligence is on the rise, but you might not have noticed with the headrush of the coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic that has been going around. Nevertheless, scientists are hard at work, building machines, and managing to successfully engineer AI for them – which are truly and frankly changing the world. While you’re stuck in quarantine, here are 5 AI trends in 2020, which might have flown under your radar.

AI In Healthcare

Given the current state of the world right now, dealing with the coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic and all, it’s not hard to imagine that scientists would’ve been bothered to engineer AI algorithms, which could help manage this pandemic – from inception, to resolution. Within these three months, a Deep Learning Artificial Intelligence at MIT’s Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES), managed to create a far more potent antibiotic that surpassed ones created by any human ever. Such a Deepmind could be employed to track and treat the coronavirus pandemic, more effectively than humans (not to mention with a faster pace).  

AI As A Service

Cloud Computing has brought to the forefront –aaS (as a Service) modules, where cloud based tools would grant unique remote utilities, without the need to actually employ highly advanced specs on your native device. Artificial Intelligence is steadily rising as on this forefront, as startups, like Engineer.ai (also known as Builder.ai), are successfully managing to engineer AI to help users through an off-site service system. Builder.ai employs the use of human-assisted-AI that develops fully fledged applications, through only a few keystrokes. This form of AI as a Service module is steadily gaining complete autonomy.  

AI Process Automation

The most boring application - but one that’s most useful. This basically means engineering AI to replace menial, cumbersome human tasks. This is the reason for which the paranoia exists (that robots will replace human jobs). While true that these Machines will replace nearly 170 million low-skilled jobs, they will, however give rise to nearly 200 million plus more, within the various fields of AI.  

AI Cyber-Criminality

Cycercrimes are not new – in fact, they have been prevalent as long as the internet has been. But the last few years have seen a sharp rise in cybercrime, through deplorable acts like Ransomware, a lot of which are fuelled through the means of Artificial intelligence. Hackers, like the ones who created the ‘Paradise’ ransomware, exhort money by engineering AI bots that hold the victims data hostage, in exchange for a sum of untraceable cryptocurrency, like Bitcoins. Cybercells warn of such incidences rising further throughout the year.

AI-Human Companionship

The genesis of Artificial Intelligence will come with the successful integration of Human fortitude, with a machine’s aptitude. The hottest AI trend of 2020 much like the aforementioned Engineer.ai is human-AI-assistance. Be it law, surveillance, automobiles, and healthcare, scientists look to engineer AI, which work in partnerships with their human counterparts. This even extends to Robotic lovers, which are poised to provide a better “experience” than a human would.
