2017 is likely to become a key year in the integration of robotics and Artificial Intelligence into society. This is stated in the recent report entitled “Robot Revolution”, of the Bank of America. The study sheds light on the near future of technologies related to the machine learning and automation of industrial processes. One of the most important conclusions is that, according to the study data, by 2020 this type of technology will produce around 153 billion dollars. Their importance, therefore, will be crucial in the coming years.
Controlling electricity and water consumption machine learning, automation and software Industrial robotics will not only affect industry, where we have already seen significant changes in production models in recent years. The latest trend in AI and robotics is targeting non-manual jobs. In other words, in traditional office jobs. Some Japanese companies are already betting on this type of artificial intelligence-based technology, mainly for replace clerical work by employees with mechanical tasks. Therefore, this is a first step towards bringing process automation to the office as well.
The reasons for the constant modernization and application of AI and robotics in society is conditioned by the market itself. In addition to the fact that during the last 2 or 3 years the prices of the technology linked to AI and robotics have been rising. machine learning While the number of AI applications has dropped considerably (by 27% in recent years, according to experts, and will continue to do so), AI has made very significant advances that make it an indispensable tool today.
The applications of AI and robotics in society.
The gradual introduction into society is slow but irreversible. Although it may not seem like it, AI has already been introduced into our daily lives in the most common activities. An example of this is the numerous chatbots that we can already find on the web pages of services, The digital revolution, which over the years will eventually cross the digital barrier and replace the telephone switchboard, has already been seen by several prestigious technology consultants such as Gartner. In fact, there are already several prestigious technology consultancies such as Gartner that say that by 2020, we will end up having more conversations with robots than with humans. And all this is the result of the unstoppable evolution of Artificial Intelligence. This will mean that in a few years' time, 100% of the jobs linked to the call-center will disappear.
Automatic or semi-automatic driving has also arrived in society. It is true that it is still in the development phase, but internationally renowned brands such as Tesla or Google have already tested these new models on the road. In fact, their effectiveness and refinement is so great that a few days ago a video went viral in which an automatic car braked very effectively in an accident that happened less than ten meters from where it was.
The home, our redoubt of comfort and security, will also not escape the vortex of automation and AI.. It is becoming more and more common to see systems that automatically turn lights on and off. It has also become standard to be able to control the lights from the smartwatch the house temperature or the blinds.
Debts between friends or family members will no longer be a problem, since with bank applications you can pay these types of amounts with just a cell phone movement.. Some experts are already predicting a near future without real money. All purchases will be paid for either by credit card or, more likely and more conveniently, by using our Smartphone.
In short, technology will occupy an increasingly prominent place in our daily lives, even more so than it already does. Cybersecurity and policy will be important in defining the role of robots in society. Trump's arrival therefore creates a glimmer of doubt regarding the more immediate future of that technology.
