For the last couple of years, AI technology has come a long way from when we first knew it. It’s contributed massively to many industries including manufacturing, retail and healthcare. Whilst it has come on a major journey, there is still a lot expected from the technology, which means there’s still more to come for this year. So, what more should we expect in 2019? Here is a look at AI technology that is likely to develop towards the end of 2019.
1. Chips influenced by AI technology
AI-enabled chips are expected to be introduced from companies such as Intel, as they look to speed up applications that utilise AI technology. The chips will be manufactured to help optimise certain aspects of AI such as vision, language and speech recognition. There’s also the expectation that larger organisations such as Microsoft and Amazon will take up the option to invest in the chips as they look to support their workloads that are based AI technology and high-performance computing (HPC).
2. Self-driving cars
This has been talked about for a couple of years now and it’s likely to be the envision we encompass when we think about what future technology would look like. Technology giant Tesla was one of the first companies to launch a self-driving car. Bucking the trend include car manufacturing giant Audi who will be looking to produce their own self-driving car. It’s expected that they’ll release a new version of the Audi A8 which will include features to transport drivers without their input. Uber are also looking to adopt the technology to produce self-driving taxis.
3. AI robots
Another use of the technology will likely be used in the manufacturing industry where robots will be used in warehouses for big-box retailers such as Amazon and Asos. The robots will be beneficial in carrying heavier weight than the average human and be able to conduct 70% of the work more efficiently. They may crash into each other? Not with the help of sensors that are installed in the robots which prevent them from colliding. This can help massively towards such companies saving time and money as they look to service customers as quickly as possible. Human error is also less likely.
4. AI for content creation
Not only is AI expected to make a big impact in the manufacturing industry, but digital marketing is also a space where innovative ideas can be explored with AI. With the help of AI technology, a design agency Manchester based can keep in line with their brand identity design as they look to create consistent video campaigns for their clients with the help of AI video production.
These are just a few examples of how AI will be continuing to make strides in 2019 as it looks to develop into even more industries. We’ve already seen the benefits it can have when we consider improvements it’s made in healthcare and the impact it’s had on patients. It’s only a matter of time before it makes breakthroughs elsewhere too.
