Artificial intelligence: the future

Artificial intelligence has quietly penetrated our lives: we use voice assistants, online maps, social networks and so on, every day, without even noticing that smartphones are sometimes smarter than us. Last year at the international conference on artificial intelligence, which was held in Dubai in May, the world's first Minister of Artificial Intelligence, Omar Bin Sultan Al Alama, spoke about the pros and cons of modern technology. The development of artificial intelligence opens up prospects for the development of healthcare. At this moment itis able to assist doctors in diagnosing and prescribing treatment. For example, in one hospital where tuberculosis cases became more frequent, it was decided to conduct a mass check of people using fluorography. The x-ray results were checked using artificial intelligence, which significantly reduced the processing time: each patient was able to find out about his health status just a few seconds after the procedure. Then all the results were checked againby doctors who confirmed that the results were fully correct. Artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. Recently, scientists managed to develop a system based on artificial intelligence, which is able to solve multivariate tests for students at the level of an excellent student. According to Tesla CEO Ilon Musk, people underestimate the power of artificial intelligence. Already now itis smarter than a person. “We used to think, for example, that playing chess well is an example of an intelligent person. And then Kasparov was defeated by Deep Blue in 97. That was a very long time ago, 22 years ago. I mean, now your mobile phone can literally crush the world chess champion. ” Most of all, Musk fears that one day artificial intelligence will surpass man in intellectual abilities. And now people should think about how to match the machines, otherwise humanity could lose the war with AI. Many people think that to oppose machines to people is wrong. Each person has a set of certain qualities, imagination, sense of humor, various talents, experiences a huge range of emotions. While machines still don't have such features. And even despite the fact that there is an opinion that artificial intelligence will replace a person sooner or later, taking from 25 to 70 percent of jobs, artificial intelligence can'tcope with some tasks. Nowit rather helps people do the work, expanding and complementing human capabilities. Today there is no threat to humanity, but now it’s worth thinking about the future of our descendants. Yes, people, for example, are able to process a huge amount of information that they perceive both visually and by ear, but we still do not know how to instantly share our thoughts with friends. So, it is quite possible that someday robots will become smarter than humans, and we must be prepared for this.

Intel RealSense

A new high-tech camera that allows you to shoot 3D objects and determine spatial parameters with high accuracy was created by Intel at the beginning of 2018. There are two models: Intel RealSense D415 and D435. Both can be connected via USB to a computer. They contain several 3D sensors, as well as an RGB sensor and an infrared projector. A powerful processor allows you to create three-dimensional images in real time. Both models are great for manufacturers and developers to add 3D models to their products. For example, the camera is able to scan any object and create a 3D model with the possibility of editing. Also: - Using a 3D camera, you can control your computer by gestures: the device tracks 22 points on the wrist, monitors each of 10 fingers. - The camera allows you to scan a 3D image of the user's face to create safe passwords, 3D avatars or use the 3D model in programs or games. - The background editing function makes it possible to change the background of the scenery or delete it. That's very convenient when conducting video conferences. - The device can read the emotions of the user. Despite the fact that the technology is new, you can feel all its power by playing the surrealistic thriller Nevermind. When playing with a connected Intel RealSense camera, the device records the heartbeat of the player, and the more he or she is afraid of something, the more the tension of the events in the game grows. At this moment, Intel RealSense cameras are available to all users, as well as built into some new laptops. And despite the fact that the technology has recently appeared on the market, it has already received many positive reviews, and has shown itself as a high-quality and promising product, the possibilities of which will expand in the future.
