Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skill. As humans we have intelligence to learn many skills and apply them. We also use our intelligence in decision making.   Artificial means something that is made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.  The difference between human and machine: Let us understand with an example. Suppose you have to cross a street with very heavy traffic. So how will you do that? You will first look in the left direction to check whether any vehicle is coming from that side. Then you will look in the right direction to check the same.   You will also try to judge the speed of approaching vehicles from both sides. You will calculate whether you have the time to cross the road before these vehicles reach the crossing point. You do this every time you cross the road as you are aware of the danger of road accidents. Once you feel safe to cross the road...

Once upon a time, there was an engineer passed out student, named Kabir, who loved reading. Since childhood he was fascinated by a notable Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s education and his contribution. After engineering, he dreamt of going abroad for further education. However, the biggest hurdle for him was finance. He chose to do a job for 1 year and save money for a master Program.  In final year, he was selected for two IT companies but he denied it to go for practical work in his area of interest. He completed a month's internship in his core branch. Subsequently he got an interview call, as a teacher, he joined an engineering college. Meanwhile, he was thinking about the master program and was communicating with senior friends, who were doing masters in foreign universities. A day came, when Kabir came in contact with an Ambedkarite teacher. Who introduced him to the path of higher education with the help of government scholarship. After a discussion, he explored three question’s ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently crisscross through its natural stage. Implementation of AI shall lead towards analyzing the cancers and tumors better than Human inference, it also leading towards solving various criminal cases. Working of Gut-Brain model the theory of this model come up with a full-duplex communication and integration with the holistic repository of cloud and big databases, extracting the linkages amongst cognitive centres of the repository and linking emotional actuators using various perspective with every profile under consideration. In the contemporary phase, we are surfing an era of programming intelligently rather than the real perspective that leads towards intelligence incorporated through dynamic programming and re-routing while analyzing real-time perspectives. Just, like Sophia, the robot is not intelligent using AI, however, it is intelligently programmed to answer the question asked. Benefits of Negative data and use of Gut-Brain Mo...

There is no doubt that AI technology is already making a huge impact on our daily lives. We have seen the capabilities and application of AI in the manufacturing industry, in oceans and even in the air. Now, AI is gaining importance in consumer electronics as well. While there are many ways that AI is changing our world, let us explore ten trends that are worth mentioning and that is revolutionizing current consumer. 1.   Smart Homes The complete automated home is a new concept, but slowly the world is moving towards it is realisation. Such as intelligent devices can automatically get switched off or on, and be monitored in real-time using Smartphone. 2.   Smart TVs Internet-connected TVs have become a lot smarter with Ai technology. Next-generation intelligent smart TVs can connect to the internet wirelessly, and access online streaming services.   3.   Voice-enabled technology We are witnessing the use of voice assistants, such as Amazon and Go...

Technological trend coming up in 2019 may be exciting than ever and we are facing a variety of breakthroughs in the coming year. Here is the list: I.     Internet of things at home Everything which connected that can be connected. We knew that, but the next step is our IoT gadgets which become more and more AI-controlled. Nowadays we can control our device via artificial intelligence; also some products are coming which Machine Learning capabilities have integrated locally in the Electronic product to enhance lifestyle. For example, WIFI-speaker is equipped with AI intelligence and more product to come.   II.    Niche integrated solution to do multifunction for IoT In 2019 development goes toward niche integration solution with multifunction in the shape of the different sensor with connectivity. For example, wireless communication sensor that is fully customized and optimized at chip-level; to deliver as cost-effective. Small and ...

Artificial neurons mimic one day as our body’s nerve cells transfer electrical signal to the brain it would be paramount for patients with nerve damage cells. Transmission: the small chip is built in such way it encapsulates by the neurons and it could be pass electrical signal between nerve cells which may be damaged by disease, shock or injury. Crucially this chip needs one-billionth the power of a standard Microprocessor means it could be theoretically used in the medical implant to help treat chronic diseases such as heart failure and Alzheimer's.    How it was formed: the researcher used a simulation technique to model how two type neurons in rats fire in response to stimuli: respiratory one that is responsible for breathing and one in the hippocampus. The models were translated to silicon chips in which replicas of biological ion channels (which transmitted signal in the body) was formed. The process was described in a paper in Nature Communications. Op...

It is an acronym for Sound Navigation & Ranging (SONAR)   Sonar is the technology of making use of sound waves to navigate, communicate and detect objects which are used for monitoring a particular area 24/7. It detects objects within 180 degrees and up to 8 meters. The word "sonar" comes from the first letters of "sound navigation ranging." Sonar can detect and locate objects under the sea by echoes, much as porpoises and other marine animals navigate using their natural sonar systems. In 1906, American naval architect Lewis Nixon invented the first sonar-like listening device to detect icebergs. During World War I (1914-18), a need to detect submarines increased interest in sonar. French physicist Paul Langévin constructed the first sonar set to detect submarines in 1915. At first, these sonar sets could only "listen" to returning signals. By 1918, Britain and the United States had built sonar sets that could send out, as well as receive, sound ...
