Machine learning helped Netflix save $1 billion in 2017. Netflix wanted to resolve the issue of customers abandoning a search in 90 seconds. They implemented a machine learning program that can automatically recommend personalized shows to the subscribers and thus retain the user interest on screen.

36% of executives consider the main goal behind incorporating artificial intelligence to be optimizing the internal operations. Recent research by McKinsey shows that 20% of C-suite across ten countries emphasizes machine learning as the core of their business.

History of Artificial Intelligence

The voyage of artificial intelligence began in 1943 when Alan Turing came up with his novel invention of the Turing Test. Grey Walter built the first robots, and John Mc Carthy introduced the term artificial intelligence in 1956. The year 1969 marked the birth of Shakey robot, an intelligent robot that could observe the surroundings, reason by itself, and take decisions on actions.

The progress towards developing neural networks began in 1990 when Rodney Brooks brought the bottom-up approach into prominence. Research and developments in artificial intelligence are taking the whole game to a different level.

In 2002, iRobot created Roomba, an autonomous vacuum cleaner. Big Dog of 2005 was the first robot for the military. The speech recognition app of Google in 2008 and the recent dancing nanorobots of 2010 are the latest advancements in AI. With more and more research going on in artificial intelligence, you can expect surprising developments in AI and find it to be a normal part of life.

How far has artificial intelligence shaped our lives, and what is the future?

Did you know that physical impairments can overcome using Cyborg technology? It is the fantastic potential and scope of AI in improving human lives.  AI has already proved to be very helpful to humans. Home security, cashless stores, music suggestions, film suggestions, chatbots, etc., are some of the examples for the extent of artificial intelligence penetration in our daily lives.

Almost all the industries, be it education, manufacturing, or healthcare can benefit tremendously by implementing artificial intelligence.  Robots that can behave like humans even to the extent of cracking jokes might occur as unrealistic, but Google analysts believe that by the year 2020, this might happen. Machines are increasingly taking over the roles in all industries with even making a mark in the B2B business.

Moving forward, AI and its developments can contribute big time in human lives. Hazardous jobs like fire fighting can be delegated to robots, thus saving more human lives. Robots can help us explore the unknown and intriguing like space and the deep ocean. Data analysis can also help to identify the trends in the world and provide solutions for the many challenging issues we face like climate change.

Artificial intelligence makes it easy to comprehend a large amount of data available in real-time. Over the last four years, there has been a 270% increase in the number of organizations implementing artificial intelligence. Currently, 37 % of organizations use artificial intelligence in one form or another.


It is expected that artificial intelligence foundations will be prevalent in 80% of emerging technologies by 2021. In 2019, the global spending on artificial intelligence systems is expected to reach $35.8 billion a sharp 44% increase from the amount spent in 2018.

By 2025, the market for wearable artificial intelligence is expected to touch $180 billion, and facial recognition is all set to record an increase in the growth rate of annual revenue by 20% in 2020. 63% of people prefer to communicate to a chatbot, and this shift of preference we can confirm from various available research statistics.  The past few years have also shown an increasing demand for AI talent, which is clear evidence of the expected growth for artificial intelligence in the coming years.
