Panorama of AI picture in 2018

Here's what happened to the AI ​​world in 2018.

According to Thenextweb, 2018 came and went without the appearance of a foundation. And certainly one thing is that there is no deep learning model in your gift bag, we have to try again in 2019. However, there are many interesting things that happened in the AI ​​world in 2018.

Finally, we have a fully automated consumer vehicle, but it is not a car. It appears as the Skydio R1 unmanned aircraft, an excellent "fly cam" .

In fact 2018 brought a series of AI support utilities. And just as experts have predicted, most of the top phones this year are integrated AI with dedicated chips.

Intel and Nvidia have integrated AI into all their hardware in 2018 and both companies also bring AI into new application trends.

In fact 2018 brought a series of AI support utilities.

With Intel, it is clear that the chip manufacturer will not give up the future of machine learning in the battle with Nvidia. And Nvidia, unconvinced, continues to cross the boundaries of what is possible, both with artificial intelligence and its hardware. This friendly competition is one of the brightest points in AI and it is expected that this war will never end.

However, that is not all about AI in the past year. We see very little change in moral awareness with AI.

Large technology companies seek to reconcile government support and develop their own AI. The employees of Amazon and Google have protested, writing many "sentiments" wishing their company did not help the government develop AI, especially in the field of defense.

In the case of Amazon, they successfully tested face recognition technology for law enforcement. Many people think that this is not a good idea.

In the case of Google, like Facebook, there are simply too many things to focus on.

It seems that we are still groping to determine the ethical boundaries for AI. Hope 2019 will see some positive movements in this respect.

The AI ​​also found its creative side in 2018 and, better or worse, Pandora's "AI" box was launched around the world. The good part is that it shows the idea of "AI art creation" becoming a reality in dozens of different ways.

RobotArt has organized an AI art competition. It was fascinating! The combination of people and AI is a strength, and can be the catalyst for the next great artistic movement.

But, the bad part is seeing the public's perception of the modern capabilities of AI exploited for profit under the cover of art. Apparently, a group of people used AI to create images and sold a picture at Sotheby earlier this year. The work is sold for nearly half a million dollars (although it's not actually created from AI). Many people think this is a bad thing.

There is not much controversy when saying that AI is gradually entering many areas of life.

But, aside from the great things that happened in the AI ​​this year, there are some amazing advances. For example, Google's AI is being tested to determine diabetes and blindness . Obviously, Google's artificial intelligence has achieved great success in this area.

Emergency services in the EU have also been upgraded to AI, with call centers currently using a virtual assistant listening to emergency calls. The new system can detect if the caller is suffering from cardiac arrest. It can also make recommendations in real time if the emergency person is not the person making the call, this can lead to faster diagnosis and better treatment.

There is not much controversy when saying that AI is gradually entering many areas of life. And like a life guard, it helps companies like IBM save the world, heal the environment and empower astronauts in space.

And all of this is just the tip of the iceberg. Simply cannot mention everything that happened in the AI ​​field in the past 12 months.
