Artificial intelligence is an end-to-end technology that can be used for “smart automation”, in essence, it is about new opportunities for increasing productivity.
In addition, AI opens up new possibilities that simply did not exist before. Of course, now AI is one of the most demanded areas, because the modern world and the modern economy are increasingly based on data, the amount of which is constantly growing every day. It is data that is the basis, the “breeding ground” for AI. Today, our world has entered the process of digital transformation, and it has affected absolutely all sectors of the economy; many large companies today are carrying out large-scale digitalization and transformation of their industries.
Machine learning is becoming more accessible, technology is being “democratized” and more and more people and businesses can create convenient services. Nowadays, almost all global corporations have a machine learning unit.
We see how truly unique solutions are being launched that can compete with Western counterparts, and possibly have no analogues at all. But to say that we use our potential in the field of AI development by 90% or even 80% would not be entirely correct. We need more initiatives, competitions, where projects could declare themselves, receive grants for further development, communicate with experienced experts, and acquire skills that will be useful to them in practical implementation.
In education, there is also a shift in popular professions: today most of them are in one way or another connected with digitalization, so the demand for such specialties is growing among students. Many new disciplines and programs are also emerging at universities that help in the development of the necessary skills and competencies.
If we talk about the development of AI in a 5-year perspective, then we can safely say that it will become a tool and assistants in the hands of experienced and competent specialists. It’s not about where AI will be in the future, but how people and their habits will change from the introduction of this technology. In 5 years, a new generation will grow up, for whom the digital world will already be a natural environment. This means that many things that still seem fantastic can become quite commonplace. For example, personalized medicine or AI will be able to match your clothes, fly planes, and very easily integrate into your daily life.
