Artificial intelligence

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to the emergence


of applications that are currently having a profound impact on our lives.
It is a technology that is only 60 years old. Certainly, the expression IA
was coined for the first time at the Dartmouth conference in 1956. It
was the moment when the first digital computers began to appear in
university labs

Development of artificial intelligence


According to Takeyas (2007), AI is a branch of computational science
responsible for studying computational models capable of performing
activities of human beings based on two of its main characteristics:
reasoning and behavior.6 In 1956, John McCarthy coined the term
"artificial intelligence," and defined it as "the science and ingenuity of
making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs."
There are also different types of perceptions and actions, which can be
obtained and produced, respectively, by physical sensors and
mechanical sensors in machines, electrical or optical pulses in
computers, as well as by bit inputs and outputs of a software and its
software environment. Several examples are in the area of systems
control, automatic planning, the ability to respond to diagnoses and
consumer inquiries, handwriting recognition, speech recognition and
pattern recognition. AI systems are currently part of the routine in fields
such as economics, medicine, engineering and the military, and has
been used in a variety of software applications, strategy games, such
as computer chess, and other video games.
Contributions of artificial intelligence
The automation of processes based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), is a
reality that is currently generating growth in companies, so it is
estimated that companies that incorporate these new technologies into
their business models, may see their benefits increased by 35% by
2035, according to SAP. For Haig Hanessian, director of strategic
accounts of SAP Concur Mexico, the intelligent automation of complex
tasks with the possibility of adapting to unforeseen changes, are the
elements that allow to make a more efficient use of the resources of a
company, by facilitating people focus on those aspects of their work
that generate more value, since it offers them new solution
tools. According to PwC, the AI will contribute up to 15.7 billion dollars
to world GDP by 2030, so it will become a relevant source for growth in
the economy.

Companies
Artificial Intelligence is being adopted by several industries, including
manufacturing, automation, finance, agriculture, education, health and other
industry sectors.
Companies like IBM, Amazon Web Services and Siemens are financing new
AI companies, are merging and acquiring small AI companies.
