Artificial Intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans. One of the famous AI electronics is the ‘AI Speaker’. You might already have bought ‘AI Speaker’, too. According to Ministry of Science and ICT*, the sales volume of AI Speaker was 4.12 million. More than two times of AI Speakers were sold than last year. Facing with the fourth industrial revolution, the AI industry is developing from day to day.
The Development of Artificial Intelligence
▲The match of AlphaGo and the Baduk Player, Lee Se-dol
The match of AlphaGo and the Baduk player, Lee Se-dol in 2016 attracted national attention. The fact that a human was defeated by a machine had a huge impact. At the same time, we were surprised by the development of artificial intelligence. Deep learning technology** is a key technology which has led artificial intelligence to become the major element of the fourth industrial revolution.
Keeping pace with the advancement of artificial intelligence, a lot of global companies are rushing into the artificial intelligence industry. The global companies including Google, IBM, Microsoft Corporation, Apple, Facebook, Alibaba, and Samsung are interested in the artificial intelligence industry due to the tremendous possibility of convergence and integration with other industries.
The Present Condition of the Artificial Intelligence Industry
Let’s take a look at particular industries in which artificial intelligence can be applied. It is the latest information of artificial intelligence industry. See if there is a field that you are interested in.
▶Health Technology
LG CNS & Lunit Inc. is planning to carry forward a business: X-ray video analysis project. The combination of the cloud technology of LG CNS and the artificial intelligence of Lunit Inc. allows analysis of a medical X-ray image within 20 seconds. Also the accuracy is up to 94 percent.
▶Translation
▲GiGA Genie 2 and NUGU
The mobile-service companies KT and SKT respectively unveiled the voice recognition device “GiGA Genie 2” and “NUGU.” Each of the devices, “GiGA Genie 2” and “NUGU,” contain artificial intelligence translation technology.
▶Information Searching
The Amazon Alexa artificial intelligence development team announced a study on the artificial intelligence learning methods combining text searching and a knowledge graph. According to the researchers, Amazon Alexa can understand complex questions. For example, if a user asks, “Which movie won an Oscar but missed the Golden Globe?”, Amazon Alexa answers “Inception” correctly.
A Survey of SMU Students Using Artificial Intelligence-Related Devices
Artificial intelligence industries are spreading to diverse industries. If it is so, how much impact is the artificial intelligence having on our lives? Therefore, the SM Herald surveyed SMU students to find out their usage of artificial intelligence devices. The SM Herald surveyed 36 students. The survey was organized into four questions. The following are the survey results:
▲The Result of the Survey (Correspond with Following Questions)
Question 1. Do you use artificial intelligence-related devices? (including current and past experiences)
Question 2. What kind of artificial intelligence-related devices do you use?
Question 3. What is the purpose of using artificial intelligence-related devices?
Question 4. How many times a day do you use artificial intelligence-related devices?
According to the survey, 31 students are using artificial intelligence devices and 5 students are not using artificial intelligence devices. It means that artificial intelligence devices are familiar in our lives. Most artificial intelligence device users (97%) are using applications or speakers and the biggest purpose of using artificial intelligence was searching for information (90%). It indicates the closest field of artificial intelligence in our life is information searching. However, according to the last question, 21 students (68%) are not using artificial intelligence frequently. This suggests that artificial intelligence is not yet having a significant impact on everyday life.
Through the following survey, I was surprised by lots of students using artificial intelligence devices. Furthermore, the utilization of artificial intelligence devices has rapidly increased in just a few years. Currently, there are a growing number of artificial intelligence start-up companies. The increase of start-up companies tells us convergence with other industries is endless. Why don’t you think about how you can combine your major with artificial intelligence?
