Glimpse Of Intel AI & HPC Summit : Intel’s Vision For Artificial Intelligence Part 1

Glimpse Of Intel AI & HPC Summit : Intel’s Vision For Artificial Intelligence

Thought of writing highlights of Intel AI & HPC Summit held in Bengaluru on 9Mar2018, The event was superb What is AI, What is current state of AI, What is future of AI. Now the whole world is talking a lot about AI , Artificial intelligence is transforming the industries, health care, transportation, education and our entire life style 🙂 There are lot of positive side of Artificial Intelligence but many people are afraid about the future, some even say Humanity may destroy either by natural disasters or by AI and some of the demos shown in yesterday’s summit also tend to think us in that way.

What is AI (Artificial Intelligence) ?

Well I do not give textbook definition for AI, because one google search on this topic will give you many definitions, here I would like to explain AI in simple way, humans are most intelligent animals on this planet, we invented machines to ease our life, we learn to manage and control the machines for our comfort, but that era is over, now we are onto a new transformation, machines are becoming smarter than humans, with no doubt one can say in future machines will control humans 🙂 thats all AI 

for your better understanding of AI, Intel defines as ” the key to machine intelligence is that it must be able to sense, reason, and act, then adapt based on experience.”

  • SenseIdentify and recognize meaningful objects or concepts in the midst of vast data. Is that a stoplight? Is it a tumor or normal tissue?
     
  • ReasonUnderstand the larger context, and make a plan to achieve a goal. If the goal is to avoid a collision, the car must calculate the likelihood of a crash based on vehicle behaviors, proximity, speed, and road conditions.
     
  • ActEither recommend or directly initiate the best course of action. Based on vehicle and traffic analysis, it may brake, accelerate, or prepare safety mechanisms.
     
  • AdaptFinally, we must be able to adapt algorithms at each phase based on experience, retraining them to be ever more intelligent. Autonomous vehicle algorithms should be re-trained to recognize more blind spots, factor new variables into the context, and adjust actions based on previous incidents.

2) A decisive solution for courts

hearings in court, managing huge set of data of all kind, referring to exact similar cases for giving better decision were all very complex tasks and always a challenging tasks for judges to declare a very accurate decision on any case. Technology has evolved so much that any complicated problem will be solved at a very less period of time.

How an IOT may help to improve the process of courts and how it helps judges and lawyers?

Every courtroom is connected to the cloud with the help of cameras and sound recording systems. Everything will be recorded and automatically converted to transcript. the converted transcript will be analyzed and compared with several similar cases and necessary data and suggestions will be given to judges to finalize the decision.

5 Innovative Ideas on Internet Of Things(IOT)

  1. An eco system that helps to adopt your daily life as per the need.

    Assume that you are very busy person, who is handling a so many things every day, you are traveling daily several places, you are almost forgetting yourself.

You may forget to drink enough water, you may forget to nap for a while, you were continuously sitting in an air condition room and keeping yourself away from natural air and sun light, you are driving you car every day and might miss some important meetings due to traffic but you could have made it, if you go by your bike.

a) Assume that your shirt has a sensor which will sense your body temperature and collects data every minute. Based on the data collected your smart phone suggest you when to drink water and how much to drink.

Your vehicle air conditioning system automatically adjusts the temperature by considering your current body temperature.

Car_Air_condition_IOT

Car_Temperature_Sensors_IOT

b)  The sensor in your shirt collected enough data and suggests you, whether to use Car or Bike, when your body is too much exposed to air conditioning rooms and car, your body might need enough natural air and sun light.

These days they are called as health sensing cloths.

Sensor_in_shirts_IOT

c) You smartphone suggests you to take bike rather than car, because the calendar event says that you have to be at the right time today for meeting and the current traffic data says if you go by Car, you will reach an hour late.

d) The data collected several months shows the pollution level in different area of the city, the app will suggest you to take different routes when you go by bike.

8 Ways the Internet Of Things (IOT) will change the way you live

8 Ways the Internet Of Things (IOT) will change the way you live

The way technology is changing it looks like you no need to worry about anything, your every device will worry about you and will take care of you. The era of Humans control devices is over now, It changed to Devices control humans 🙂 . Before going further on this article, let us first see why Big companies creating business over IOT, so many Internet of things projects going on in market. Companies are forced to adopt new protocol since Internet of things became popular. 

First Do Read Why Google/Apple targeting Automation and Internet Of Things

It is an era of Devices Control Humans :

9 Ways the Internet Of Things will change the way you live, there are 9 key areas Everything is connected to your internet now. By the way what are these things? Things are objects you use your shoes to your dress, your office chair to your office vehicle, those tiny measuring instruments at your factory to huge machines , anything and everything.

It is just a service to connect your physical objects to digital entities and bringing intelligence in your device.

1. Smart Home and Office

Smart Home
Smart Home

A device which text you when someone rings your (wireless) doorbell; turn on the light by talking to Siri; tweet at you when your water tap is on and water is waiting in your kitchen; or, when motion is detected in your lawn, take a photo from your webcam and upload it to Dropbox.

Lock/unlock your door from anywhere just by tapping a button in your smart phone, this is not a great thing but where Internet of things will come into picture? Assume that you will be coming to your home daily at 6PM? almost 25 days you will come around 6PM in a month? but some times you may come home early due to you 1st shift in work? all these data will be stored in server and analysed. You device will become clever, intelligent by analysing the data. By chance if some one hack your device and opens the door, you device can predict some one unlocked at an odd time, and will notify you immediately. ” Hey ! it looks like you came home early ? if not respond me quickly it is not your usual time of coming home early, your not into 1st shift also. Looks like I am hacked 🙂 please respond…”

Internet of Things now built in your kitchen, connected objects to smarten up your home, Smart home security,

Temperature control at your home ?

Nest Thermostat
Nest Thermostat

Your kids are at door steps, you are still at your office. Ofcourse you can see your kids standing infront of your home using your Internet Of Things connected smart lock. You unlock your door and set room temperature which is suitable to your kids.

Over several days, your thermostat system learn that your kids prefer what temperature and your grand ma prefer which temperature. next time when your kids come home thermostat will automatically sense it ( your do software update over internet) and will adjust the temperature.

Lights controlled at your office, you no need to use ID tags now at office, work space door will open as you go near.

Facts says that smart-home market could grow to $60 billion by 2020.

Artificial Intelligence helps to achieve all these smart devices : See how Artificial intelligence helps Facebook

2. Transportation

Your vehicles now are automated, you come near to your vehicle in parking slot, it automatically take reverse and will come just infront of you.

They analyse the traffic data collected over the period of time, will change the route by considering google maps data, history and will decide which route to take today. An urban planner should change and adopt technology and an urban planner should look smart for this internet age.

Your trains will suggest you to change the schedule by analysing peak times, by analysing people’s preferred timings or by analysing traffic data from maps

3. Smart Cities

Your traffic signals will change the timings by analysing traffic data collected or waiting time of people at signals. In Banglore traffic there are so many signals where people simply wait long even though no much traffic, no more such mistakes.

You are near to a shopping mall ? and there is an offer on your favourite branded shirt ? Internet Of Things will make you aware of that, you will never miss that offer 🙂

The street lights will turn on only when people/vehicle approaches near, smart LED lights can be used for this.

Smart LED streetlights in San Diego turn on only when a pedestrian or vehicle approaches—the city recently replaced 3,000 old streetlamps with sensor-equipped ones to save an estimated $250,000 a year.

Your garbage cans are now solar powered and will crush the garbage, will dispatch it to public garbage collector system, they will become smarter they analyse what kind of materials you use, which is good for what by analysing data collected through IOT and will separate out items and learn to segregate by itself 🙂

Real time example ? Philly (Philly is an informal name for Philadelphia, a major city in Pennsylvania) has been able to reduce the number of weekly garbage-collecting shifts from 17 to just three, and realize $1 million a year in savings on fuel, maintenance and labour costs.

London now testing smart cities operating system, An operating system designed to power the smart cities of the future will be put through its paces in London. By 2050 it is estimated that 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. Living Plan IT estimates that £13tn will be spent in developing and regenerating urban spaces between now and 2020.

4. Smart Manufacturing

You devices, sensors, measuring instruments at manufacturing hub now analyse big data collected every day. They will do slight modifications in their process, will grab you more revenue by optimising themselves.

Your smart system will analyse everything and will suggest you for a smart movements of devices, machines which reduces amount of work and increases the manufacturing speed.

Harley-Davidson motorcycle plant in York did something great, One analyst recently told The Wall Street Journal that installing a manufacturing execution system into a single factory can cost between $500,000 and $1 million. But according to SAP (which provided the Harley plant’s software), the factory can now turn out 25% more bikes with 30% fewer workers. Instead of delivering one of its 1,700 bike variations in 21 days, it can manage delivery in a mere six hours. Reference

5. Smart Energy Systems

Collection of data over several years helps to innovate new energy plants, scientists were able to invent wind turbines without blade, bird lovers would be happy with these blade less wind turbines

6. Smart Health Kit

Now a wrist band in your hand analyses you pulse, your breath and predicts well before you will suffer from a disease, there are devices which will analyse your breath and predict breast cancer, Apple has invented Apple watch which is integrated with bunch of sensors.

A device can analyse your heart beat data collected several months and can suggest you precautionary activities to keep you away from heart attack.

7. Smart Agriculture

Now sensors fitted in your field can constantly analyse weather variations and suggest you to take necessary steps for better farming,

They can analyse and predict the time elephants, birds come and spoil your farm and alarm you well before they arrive or can switch on low strength electric fence at the time only.

Sensors can analyse soil moisture records and will switch on the pump only when it is required, can even add fertilisers in water the amount which is required

8. Smart Entertainment devices

Your MP3 players can now analyse which songs you listen what time, they can even analyse the place you are currently in and switch to the song you prefer to listen that moment. 

Your music system is now smarter then ever, it can play ABC song when your kids arrive at home from school.

We have seen great inventions happened in last decade, Everything which was there upon the table now came to your finger tips, you can speak to your mobile and yeah it responds you back nicely. Apple Siri changed the way of communication with its touch interface in iPhone and voice interface in Siri, google now and microsoft’s Cortana.

Microsoft took one step ahead with its Hologram that is one of the awesome idea, but how much that would be complete we have to see only when we get it in use. Google’s self driving car and now Apple in the same line.

What else ??

An Era of Adopting to Technology

This is very old story now, 5 years before people use to say we should adopt technology, use technology and grow your business, use technology and optimise your tasks, use technology schedule your duty oh what not? It became big problem for old generation who never understood how to use computers and how to learn to use applications etc.

Observing closely the recent evolution in technology proves that, that era has gone now, it is taking a new shape and evolving even more sophisticatedly and smartly. then What we could expect out it ?

An Era of Technology being adopted to humans

Does’t it looks funny ? or does it make any sense ? yes of course it makes sense. Softwares are becoming smart with the intelligent algorithms, devices are becoming smarter with ultimate sensors, It is not just your touch, it is not just your voice now your movements and pattern are being analysed by algorithms and your device decides what to do next ! Google Search becoming clever every day it can understand the context you are working and you can query as if you are speaking to some one. Apple announced latest OS, the main focus is to make their device intelligent, It understands where you are, it understands what you are looking for it suggests you.

Operating systems are becoming smarter day by day, the data you are going to access are local more native centric, machines knew what you want, they understand you better than any one else 🙂

Future Is In Artificial intelligence ?

Looks like These big elephants are creating market for it, Apple’s HomeKit and google’s Brillo making every object you are using at home connected, your every device may start understanding what you are and they serve you what exactly you want and when exactly you want.

You home lock is connected to you phone, your kitchen is fully under your control, your lights will get on as you enter and off as you are leaving the room, algorithms understand your behaviour by analysing the data collected and will suggest you which food you can have now, they alerts you when you are eating high calorie food because your weight is under control since you started Yoga 🙂

Future Of Robotics !

So far robots were made for space missions, for military and for research areas but its the time to have a robot for your personal assistance everything what a human can do, now machines can do much better than him, Robotics in home appliances will be popular soon. Google is investing in robotics not only this much there are Top 10 Robotics companies which are expected to change the future of robotics.

iRobot

Automation Industry

Thanks to ipv6, you can generate as many ip addresses using ipv6 where you can automate each and every device of every home in the world, Thanks to the concept of Internet Of Things where every device is connected to cloud directly, google’s Brillo is an example for IoT. You automate everything, control everything just using your smart phone, yeah really smart phone 🙂

Future Of Technology ?

One can imagine now what would be the future of Technology, Everything is connected, Everything under your control, Everything is automated, Everything is smart and intelligent, Everything just in front of your door. Rather than asking what you want, now your devices, your softwares will say what you need 🙂

 

Imagine the Future !

Companies investing heavily to make your life simpler, but we are really neglecting the mother nature, we are really forgetting environmental issues, our soil is polluted due to waste gadgets, chemicals etc our air is polluted, oceans are polluted. globalisation bringing more and more problems to us. We should really encourage and appreciate the use of renewable energy sources and make our future even better.

Use of solar panel for you mobile to charge, use of solar power to make ur robot work at home, use of intelligent architecture to cool your home/office, what else can be done ? just invent anything keeping environment in mind.

Enjoy the future because you have no work to do, you will be the laziest animal on this planet 🙂
