50 Killer AI Projects

Things seem stagnant right now.

Because of the hefty amount of data that are there without any practical use.

Think of data as the collection of our consciousness. Similar to how consciousness helps us make clear decisions in our day-to-day life, ultimately the data-backed decisions will help us make things right. With data comes wisdom, the epiphany about things we were missing out on, these many years.

Data can give us clarity of what’s going on, the potential mix and match to solve existing critical cases and bring about innovative applications for future ‘us’.

The more data we own, with artificial intelligence and other machine learning technologies the processes can be made quicker. Instead of making all the tech improvements only to remove human intervention overall, use all of them to save ‘valuable time.’

The technologies we have and will ever create are to serve only one purpose in this world, ‘make survival easier one step at a time.’

We have arrived at the state where technological ethos is constantly surpassed by creators because of the greed to have and offer more to self and for our onlookers. Which is the most erroneous way of tackling subjective need!

Now, the only thing we need to do is to pick out the most complex issue and make it readily crackable further to be taken care of and quality checked by human experts.

Apparently, the advancement in technology is not to eradicate the implementation of human skill set but to enhance the overall output.

There’s nothing much we can do without data if our desire is to travel and experience this whole world without any pain. Obviously, there are good people and bad people. With data that are mainly modeled and fed by us (humans) to the machines thereby will show the similar faces — good and bad. Some will solve our problems while others will break our systems.

So for the maximum good, it’s essential for each of us to focus on how to make things better with artificial intelligence.

Let me list out the projects within various realms that are being spruced up with artificial intelligence and other smart technologies.
