devices and software that can think
intelligently like human minds. These AI
tools are accomplished by studying
patterns similar as human brains by
analyzing the cognitive process. Using this
AI technology, we can enable computers
and software to generate meaningful
information based on input.

Do you know how AI works? Let me

explain you all in simple terms. Artificial
Intelligence simply refers to the
development of intelligent machine that
can perform the input task using its
computer neuros.AI technology involves
the use of algorithms, computer programs
and statistical models to enable machines
to collect data, process information,
recognize patterns and make decisions
based on that knowledge. In all processes
it is continuously learning, improving and
evolving like humans.

What can we expect from AI in future?

One of the main threats facing the world of
work is the automation of routine and
repetitive jobs. Intelligent AI systems can
replace jobs that require repetitive and
standardized tasks, such as in the
manufacturing and administrative sectors.
Machines equipped with artificial
intelligence are able to perform these tasks
more quickly and accurately than humans.
AI can also threaten creative jobs.
Companies that adopt AI technology may
tend to reduce demand for human workers.

At last despite of that fact that the AI tools

are emerging in todays’ world but these AI
tools are machine at last and the empathy,
emotion and attachment is always lacking.
So, everyone should primarily focus their
set of skills and work on that skill to make
themselves so fine that even machines
cannot replace because that human touch
and loyalty is always missing in machine
works. The rise of AI is actually not a
threat rather it is an opportunity to improve
our skill set.
