Artificial Intelligence is also known as Machine Intelligence or AI, it is the replication of human intelligence, which permits the machine or computer systems, to perform in an extremely intelligent manner. An artificial intelligence system recognizes its environment in a way that helps its analytical self in doubling its chances of success. As we are humans and also a lazy species we always love to work where there is less amount of human work, as there is ample amount of data all over. We as humans needs to manage and handle huge amounts of data where Data Science comes into picture. Data science in simple words is the study of analyzing data and maintaining records for our benefits. To handle these huge volumes of data into a more structured and manageable to use, AI, is widely used.

APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:

1. Natural Language Generation
   Natural language generation is a process, which converts any structured data into natural language. It can also be known as a process, which transforms individual’s thought into natural language.  Artificial intelligence is the technology, which is used for natural language generation.  

2. Machine learning
   Machine learning is the technology, which is to train machines and make our work easier and through this machine, can think on its own. Machine learning is one of the useful applications where artificial intelligence is used.

3. Decision management
   Decision management system interprets and converts data into predictive models. These models help organization in decision-making processes.  Decision management system highly depends upon artificial intelligence.

4. Robotic automation
   Robotic automation can be explained as a technique, which automates human tasks by robots. In industrial processes, when hiring humans are not sufficient and expensive this technique can be used to automate the process. Artificial intelligence is the reason behind this technique.

5. Cyber defense
   Cyber defense is a mechanism, which is used to detect and prevent threats or attacks to infrastructure in a computer network. By using artificial intelligence and machine learning in cyber defense mechanism the task can be done more efficiently and within less time.

FUTURE WITH AI 

Artificial intelligence is not just a vision, but it is the technology which is here with us and it is deployed in various sectors. Finance, national security, healthcare, criminal justice, transportation etc. are few sectors in which it is deployed. Artificial intelligence developers are focusing on one target that is to develop such artificial intelligence model that can properly replace human efforts. While it is assumed that evolution in AI technology act as a threat to human employment, but the revolution will go much further. The AI-enabled spacecraft are expected to go till asteroid belt. Climatic change which is the topic of concern today, it can also be manageable through AI.  AI will also work impeccably to keep us healthy, that can be done by installing sensors in our home which will analyze our breath to detect early signs of cancer, and nanobots will swim through in our bloodstream to dissolve blood clots which can cause stroke or heart attack in future. Self-driven car has already been introduced. With AI, in future it is expected that every individual will carry a virtual assistant which will take care of them in every possible manner. With AI being a vast field these were some of the functionalities which AI will perform in future.

Advantages of AI

1. Reduce Human error
2. Increase productivity
3. Faster communication
4. Improves Security
5. Handles all the type of tasks
6. Reduction of error

Disadvantages of AI

1. Unemployment
2. Expensive to develop
3. AI can increase war destructive
4. Loss of skills
5. Chances of having Risk
6. No original creativity

Conclusion:

AI is at the center of new enterprise to build computational models of intelligence. In a very short period of time, AI has immensely supported all kinds of industries; it has also increased the understanding of the nature of intelligence and also provided an impressive array of applications in many areas.
