Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Most AI examples that you hear about today – from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars – rely heavily on deep learning and natural language processing. Using these technologies, computers can be trained to accomplish specific tasks by processing large amounts of data and recognizing thier patterns.

The term Artificial Intelligence was coined in 1956, During those days it was considered as a mediocre technology which later turned out to be field to surge, scientists and researchers have developed a number of new techniques and methods. The popularity and usefulness of the technology have been on the highest rise for a couple of years now. It will become in the near future, a revolution with many new AI technology arising due to the developments of algorithms and data in the current 21st Century.

Some interesting and insightful facts to surely know about:-

-> January 2018, Google CEO Sundar Pichai claimed that artificial intelligence (AI) will be more transformative to humanity than electricity.

-> "From 2015 to 2018, active AI startups increased 2.1x, while all active startups increased 1.3x. For the most part, growth in all active startups has remained relatively steady, while the number of AI startups has seen exponential growth.’’ - AI Index

-> Between 2013 and 2017, venture capital funding towards AI increased 4.5 times, and venture capital in total increased by 2.08 times! AI will become a top-five investment priority for more than 30 per cent of CIOs.

-> Microsoft is infusing AI into everything they deliver across computing platforms and experiences. According to Salesforce, 51% of small business owners think that AI is important when it comes to investing in new technologies.

-> Top scientists and technologists like Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk believe that AI is a very dangerous threat to humanity.

-> One of the first AI programs was created in 1965 by Carl Djerassi. It was named DENDRAL and it automatically discovered unknown forms of medications.

-> Still there are a number of facts and observations that have been and will be made of this Artificial Intelligence, it's a never-ending phenomenon.

🌏So, let's get into why AI is going to be an ultimate factor and how it will change the Earth's future both positively and negatively..?

The power and productivity of Artificial Intelligence have greatly surprised us, especially me. The things that were once considered fictional, unrealistic and impossible have been made reality. The technological revolution of this century will be greatly dependent on AI and its sub-branches machine learning & deep learning algorithms, name it so on. We have so many relatable technologies that depend on & complement AI. This has made it compatible with every domain and industry.

The usage of Artificial Intelligence has tripled over the past few years, with the job market of AI also reaching hew heights than ever before.

Earth is the home to an abundant wealth of natural and living organisms, which have been compromised by humans. This irresponsible human factor has led to so many disasters worldwide, be it climate, habitats, oceans, etc, you name it. So why is this related to AI, well the importance of technologies is to use them to solve problems mainly real-life ones. A successful technology becomes number one, only if it is used to create an impactful change in society and the world. Truly to that, people and organisations have tried and leveraged the best use of a powerful technology like AI to solve many real-life problems the world faces today. AI can become the diamond on the hill by making these happen by helping humanity, the earth for a greater cause.

As a famous person once stated, "Technology is a product of knowledge out of Earth; though must be used to make the same a better place". While AI has become the talk of the town, the partner fields of tech like Data Science, Big Data, Cloud, etc, have complemented the greater success of the highly demanding products and services out there. The new inventions, humanoids, robots, automation, and more upcoming innovations are much dependent on the development of AI for the growth and sustainability of the planet. There are many downsides of Artificial Intelligence and as many great people have predicted, it can go absolutely wrong for humans too. It is up to us to make any technology better with careful thoughts towards the future, as humans, we have the freedom to create and destroy. As a saying goes,"It can take years to mould a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered."

Experts believe that AI will take over 16% of current jobs within the next 10 years, but worry not, a new era of job opportunities will arise. AI has become the trend for the top internet companies and every industry out there. The 5 best countries for AI jobs are considered to be China, the USA, Japan, the UK, and India. So there is a lot of scope in this field. This is the best time to get your hands dirty in learning and researching about Artificial Intelligence. Especially if you are in India, there are a number of ways one can make a significant impact in the society and the country by providing AI services, features, products that will change industries like Agriculture, IT, Manufacturing, etc, and also the Government, which are moving towards stable and efficient ways of modern technology.

Artificial Intelligence has created a mega impact everywhere, and over the years it will grow better, more powerful and more efficient. As a whole, the earth requires a better change and hopefully, AI can be used to deliver the most risk-free way towards the future cause and survive the tracks of time to fulfil many awesome purposes. In conclusion, I strongly believe that Artificial Intelligence will provide a drastic positive footprint on the earth and its people, but again, it all depends on the way we people use AI, be it negative or positive...
