Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning OVERVIEW

Artificial intelligence (AI) spending worldwide was estimated at $154 billion for 2023 by analysts at IDC and is expected to grow to $300 billion by 2026.  This is an estimate on a broad basis that includes spending on software and services.  Plunket Research estimates the U.S. market for AI at $175 billion for 2023.  Researchers at Gartner estimated that the global business value derived yearly from AI had already reached $3.9 trillion by 2022, while analysts at McKinsey Global Institute estimated that AI’s contribution to the global economy could soar to $13.0 trillion by 2030.
In many ways, artificial intelligence (AI) is a logical extension of recent technology trends.  A combination of ever-more-powerful computer chips, cloud computing, continued miniaturization of devices such as sensors, and the growth of the big data/data analytics sector are major enablers of AI on what is now a cost-effective basis.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will create vast changes in nearly all segments of business and industry over the mid-term.  The effect of AI on consumers and households is already in broad evidence, although the people benefiting from such technologies may not be aware of the process or the significance of what’s going on around them.  For example, utilizing machine learning, Amazon.com pioneered the development of advanced software that learns from a shopper’s actions online and then makes product recommendations tailored to the individual.  In its early years, Netflix famously offered a $1 million prize to anyone who could engineer an algorithm that would learn from a subscriber’s movie rental habits in a manner that would increase the accuracy and usefulness of its online recommendation engine by 10%.  The more that Amazon or Netflix can display perfectly curated products for individual shoppers, the happier the consumer and the greater the amount of sales completed.  (Yes, Netflix paid off on this Progress Prize offer, selecting the work of a team of engineers that called themselves “BellKor’s Programmatic Chaos.”)
Search engines like Google and Bing utilize similar technology to serve up billions of dollars’ worth of online ads weekly to carefully targeted readers of news, entertainment and data online.   These recommendation engines run in the background 24/7; they learn more and more as time goes by and interactions with consumers increase; they benefit from frequent, incremental improvements made by software engineers; and they make the owners of these technologies highly efficient, effective and profitable in their business operations.  
Today, Amazon’s incredibly popular cloud computing subsidiary, Amazon Web Services (AWS), offers the “SageMaker” tool to enable companies of all sizes to quickly build machine learning tools.  AWS also offers easy-to-deploy AI-based tools for speech recognition, image recognition personalization engines, face recognition, forecasting and much more.  Many other firms also offer rapid-deployment AI platforms so that institutions and corporations of all types to easily put AI to work.
Consider the implications of machine learning for critical industrial processes.  For example, airlines around the world spend hundreds of millions of dollars monthly on fuel.  Imagine the benefit, both financially and in terms of reduced carbon emissions, if the air transport sector can reduce fuel usage a mere five percent through the utilization of machine learning—determinizing the most efficient air routes in light of current weather, setting the optimum engine speeds for fuel efficiency and assigning the most efficient flight paths in and out of airports by computer-aided air traffic controllers.  Airlines will thereby reduce both total time in the air and total fuel burnt.  This is but one possibility from tens of thousands of potential applications—virtually all factory, supply chain and transportation sectors can benefit through such uses of AI.

How AI works:  Simply put, AI and machine learning work by finding patterns in data.  The larger the pool of data, the more observable the patterns and the better the accuracy and outcomes of the machine learning (ML) process.  To some extent, AI often simulates human brain-like functions such as learning, problem-solving, reasoning and perception.  This means that this technology can greatly speed up human or robotic tasks, by completing or enhancing work, and do it at blinding speed.
ML is a key component of AI and involves training algorithms to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed in how to do so.  ML algorithms are exposed to large datasets and then discern patterns from the data, enabling the algorithms to improve their performance over time.  For example, ML might study a dataset containing the results of treatments of specific types of medical patients.  By observing those results, the machine will see patterns and can be programmed to predict outcomes of one type of treatment compared to another type.  There are several varieties of ML, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning.  This study of datasets during ML is considered to be “training” the AI system involved.
Technologies commonly used in AI include neural networks, which are computational models inspired by the structure and function of the human brain.  Neural networks consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized into layers that are capable of learning complex patterns from data.  Deep learning is a subset of neural networks that involves training deep AI architectures with many layers, enabling them to learn hierarchical representations of data.  Other AI technologies include natural language processing (NLP), which focuses on enabling computers to understand and generate human language; computer vision, which involves teaching computers to interpret and analyze visual information; and robotics, which combines AI with mechanical systems to create intelligent machines capable of performing physical tasks.
In summary, AI works by simulating human intelligence through techniques such as ML, neural networks, and other technologies.  ML, in particular, plays a crucial role in AI by enabling algorithms to learn from data and improve (train) their performance over time.  The main point is that AI software can be trained by being constantly fed data, queried as to its meaning and receiving feedback as to the accuracy or usefulness of its responses.  It is essentially training a machine to respond correctly to data of a given nature or to data within a given set of circumstances.
