Have you ever imagined that a machine can talk, walk, dance, sing and can even think? Now it's all possible because of significant development in the field of artificial intelligence. Today many things are possible because of AI. Many unimmaginative things like driverless cars, humanoid robots, smart homes etc. have been made with the help of AI. Many prominent companies like Tesla, Google, Amazon are working continuously towards development of AI. So what is AI? Artificial intelligence is basically the reproduction of human intelligence by machine, we give algorithm and they act accordingly. Driverless cars by Tesla, home assistant and Alexa by Google and Amazon are some of its examples. AI can be of great use in medical science, space technology, agriculture etc. So let use know about implication of AI in different sphere of life.
1) Space Technology
AI is used to collect data send by satellites. It helped with solar radiation estimation data. With the help of AI scientists also keep a track of health of satellites. The data from the rover is being transmitted using AI. Rovers which are sent to moon or mars or other planets take photoes and send it to earth. These pictures help scientists in analysis of the planet.
There are many navigation satellites around earth and scientists use these satellite images to make maps. But there are a few navigation satellite around the moon or other planets. To navigate these planets NASA in collaboration with Intel developed an intelligent navigation system using AI.
A breakthrough use of AI in space technology is development of Autonomous rovers. These autobots are designed to move on rough surface of planets. They can do many things on their own without any command from the research team. They can work for an extended period without human intervention.They perform many tasks such as taking rock sample and extracting info from it, information about weather, terrain, presence of some chemicals or elements etc. They have become an important tool in recent space exploration.

2) Medical Science
With the advancement in technology, medical science has improved a lot. Now proper treatement of many diseases can be done with the help of AI. Earlier it was difficult to diagnose some disease but now it has become easier because of use of computer techniques to perform clinical diagnoses. With the help of computer images, every internal organ can be viewed very easily and a proper treatement can be done. Technologies such as CT scan, MRI, ultrasonography are very helpful in diagnosis of disease.
Monitoring of health became easier with many devices. Like, a medical monitor displays many parameters such as pulse, blood pressure, electrocardiograph etc. Accuracy in measurement has increased with development in electronic devices. Pulseoxymeter, thermogun, digital sphygmomanometer etc has contributed a lot towards precision and accuracy.

AI also plays an important role in phramceutical research. Machine learning algorithms are used to analyse the viability of drugs. Mnay drug companies employ data scientists for analysis of data produced by AI in the development of the drug. Because of involvement of smart machines efficiency increases and large amount of drugs can be produced in short time. It also help to cut down the cost of medicine at the same time enhancing its quality.

3) Farming
AI has not only helped to increased the quantity but also the quality of the crop. Now the type of soil, info about nutrient content, pH etc can be detected easily using artificial language. Machines are made that can tell which type of fertilizers are needed, the soil is deprived of which nutrient etc. Locust attack is a major problem in farming. They can scrap out of the whole farm, AI with the help of satellites in advance can warn the farmers about arrival of the locusts.
Crop health can be monitored using drones. The data recorded by drones are send to computer for analysis by data scientists. A detailed health report of the crop is then prepared by a group of experts.

Farming with ancient techniques require much more time than with modern tools. Also the yield and quality is not upto the mark. Now robots are developed which can perform many tasks starting from weed control to the harvest at much faster rate than possbible with human labour. Such robots save time and also enhance the quality of the product.
Further development in AI can help to fully automise the farming sector. Doing this can help in higher crop yield, increase precision and accuracy and most importantly it can be of great benefit for the poor farmers which help in their upliftment.
4) Education
Studies can become more fun filled with the help of AI. Many mobile applications have been made which teach in play way manner. Though the ancient teacher-student learning can never be replaced by any technology but still AI can have great implications in education system.
Individualised learning has increased because of AI. Now students can take test on apps, analyze their mistake, get to know about their strength and weekness, working upon which they can yield good result. This evaluation can be done at home and students will need no one to tell their week points. Each person has their own pace of doing work, such appa can help students to work at their own pace.
AI can be a great time saver for both the students and the teachers. It can help to compile marks, make corrections in the assignment and even check the exam papers(like OMR). Students can quickly find answers with the help of google assistant or Alexa. Artificial intelligence has revolutionized the education sector to a great extent.

5) Exciting Discoveries in the Field of AI
a) Sophia
Have you heard Sofia-the first a disney cartoon series! Indeed sophia is the first humanoid robot or you can say that it is the first machine which has got a citizenship. Sophia has citizenship of Saudi Arabia. Sophia is a humanoid robot developed by Hanson Robotics. It can imitate expressions, converse on many topics, to a great extent behave like humans and can do many things. This indeed is a break through development in the feild of AI.

b) Driverless cars and taxies
Fully automated cars have been developed which enables ride without a human driver. Robocars have various sensors to sense the surrounding. They are equipped with radar, sonar, GPS, lidar etc. Many companies like Tesla, Waymo, Nuro have developed a fully self-driving car. Waymo was the first to offer this servise to public. This technology can also be applied to trucks, buses or other heavy vehicles for an efficient transport system. This will not only save time but also fuel.
c) Olly
Olly is an AI assistant created by Emotech. It is similar to other assistant like Alexa or Google home but with one distinct feature. Olly has not only voice sensors but it can also sense the facial expressions. Olly can understand human expressions and dynamically starts conversating with the user. It can also make suggestions just by sensing the facial gestures of the user. This AI Assistant is very different from other voice assistants.

Artificial Intelligence is the driving force behind most of the recent discoveries. What we use to see in fiction can now be experienced in reality. It is one of the fastest growing technologies in the world. It can work at a very fast rate as compared to humans and chances of errors are also reduced. AI is the future of the modern world.
