Artificial Intelligence or AI is the science to make machines as smart as humans. When a machine can think and behaves like human we call it an intelligent machine. It's been trending a lot from past couple of years. We have seen robots, intelligent chess games where champions got defeated by machines. But what does future hold for Artificial Intelligence?  Experts claim that AI will soon be coming with technologies in healthcare, automation, finance that will change the way technologies are used now. Machines with power to take thousands of complicated decisions in nanoseconds will revolutionize the industry.

Cyber-security is becoming the most trending topics in organizational context. So a proper understanding of cyber-security measures and preventive learning is necessary. Institutionalization of security methodology should be in the key priority. Some institutes provide a set of free hands-on, e-book lessons designed specifically for teens to learn cyber-security and critical Internet skills. This training enables the learners to challenge hacktivist with improvised measures and safe guard protocols. Some Cyber security company provides free five weeks training on how to secure online browsing. We need to list all possible threats and nullify by secure web browsing and cyber activity.

Artificial intelligence is the most powerful tool. It can be used in any industry.  A smartphone can act as a personal tutor i.e. artificial intelligence can not only be used to teach, but also get to understand learning style, strengths, and weaknesses. In the healthcare industry, AI helps a doctor or nurse to chat with the patients and recognize the symptoms at the tap of a button on your smartphone. In transportation system, AI is used to understand their customer's need and provide better service. As a whole AI is the next stage of human excellence.

Artificial intelligence is like machine learning. But they are completely different and some concepts related to it has to be cleared.

1. Artificial intelligence refers to a broad set of methods, algorithms and technologies that makes the software 'smart' that seem human-like to an outside observer.

2. Machine learning has some elementary engineering sensibility whereas artificial intelligence is more correlated to automation and sophisticated data handling.

3. Machine learning covers multiple technology, whereas AI is a process which only refers wide variety of algorithms and methodologies that enable software improvement.

4. Machine learning is more into deeper analysis, segmentation and networking in contrast to standalone operation of artificial intelligence

5. Cognitive understanding is more prominent in artificial intelligence because analytics and forecasting play a clinical role. So, accuracy in automation required cognitive learning.

Artificial intelligence opened a new horizon to give reply to E-mail instantly. Reading long emails in a busy life is a tough. So an automated answering system can reply a mail by analyzing the tone of a particular mail. A particular word based sentiment analysis can be a useful tool to facilitate this process. Google has already started to offer 'robot email' AI in its Google Inbox online extension for Gmail. The new service is called the Smart Reply and it will help answer some of your emails for you. There are still some constraints. This automated system has some issues regarding long multi sentimental messages. These messages has to be replied manually.

AI can adapt itself based on what it sees to both better identify and more quickly eliminate a threat. The scanning can be far more comprehensive, the response faster and the result itself far more secure.

3D printing technology produces smooth, detailed architectural models in an array of materials, including rigid photopolymers and plastic. Students from University of Tokyo guided by architect Kengo Kuma have developed a 3D-printing pen that can be used to create complex architectural structures out of plastic sticks. The Construction team named their model as ""large-scale hand-drawn structures"" which manually prints out strings of thermoplastic filament, guided by a digital tracking system. The support structures are made up of acrylic bonds providing structural stability in tension and also some strength in compression.

Non-renewable resources are energy sources that we use and consume faster than nature produces them. Statistics are showing that if the current rate of consumption continues for oil, the supply is predicted to run out within the next 14 years. So a non-renewable source of energy is what planet earth needs. Researchers are employing a technique called Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition to produce large-scale thin films which make up the perovskite call.

Google has developed a new artificial intelligence system which can recognize the geo-location of a picture. It can also identify a particular monument and area by using sophisticated mapping techniques. This will not only improve an intelligent image search, but also provide a more accurate mapping facility. The system doesn’t exactly spit out GPS coordinates. Instead the team divided the globe into about 26,000 squares of differing sizes based on how many photos from the data set were taken in the area. Huge image search and detailed mapping system is space consuming and particularly troublesome for smaller devices like smartphones and tabs which have space constraints. In order to minimize these issues they are trying to compress huge data within 377mb only.
