5 Defining Aspects of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is one of the most transformative and emerging new forms of technology in the world today. It has eased away different aspects of our everyday lives and changed the way the industry operates. But to break down such a large topic as artificial intelligence provides one with more clarity and understanding on what are the key parts that have changed for us.

AI is changing the way we percieve and learn

The five main topics of AI are perception, representation/reasoning, learning, natural interaction, and societal impact. We will be able to explore each topic in more depth and connect it to the future.

To incorporate the main advantages of artificial intelligence one needs proper access to them. Teamcal Ai, a meeting automation platform for a seamless meeting experience across all companies, is an app that allows one to explore the strengths of AI with an easier and efficient scheduling system. Teamcal Ai is accessible to anyone from kids in school to company workforces. It is completely universal, which is the exact goal AI wants to achieve.

Perception is a key feature used by artificial intelligence. It gives machines the power to analyze and interpret its surroundings through sensory input. Just like humans, when we perceive the world around us we are able to better understand and build intuition through a mental impression. Since AI has a purpose of having the ability to do what a human can, the machine can also create a computer generated impression on the data it collects. This is used in computer vision, speech recognition, and other data processing applications. The goal of computer vision allows the machine to properly represent the visual stimuli it takes in. It opens up new possibilities such as object detection and facial recognition. Both of these features are used everywhere around the world and are accessible through the palm of our hands with our cell phones! The power of perception is also what strengthens Teamcal Ai. The app has built in preprocessing systems and uses pattern recognition algorithms. It analyzes yours and your team’s availability data for meeting scheduling beforehand to provide free times slots that align in everyone’s schedule. It also can recognize patterns of availability based on your schedule for each week and suggest timings on when to discuss different topics and agenda your company may want to tackle that week. Perception is a building block for Teamcal Ai and artificial intelligence and gives a human touch to technology.

The second aspect of AI is representation and reasoning. Both of these features go hand in hand as they work together to create a storage system and process knowledge efficiently. All artificial intelligence models need to be represented in an organized and structured form in order for it to make proper decisions that aid its user. A proper formation of thoughts and ideas is what helps individuals make meaningful choices when it comes to what next steps they would like to take for themselves or their team. As this showcases the representation feature, reasoning comes from logical inferences, deduction, and probabilistic reasoning to draw conclusions from data. As both skills work together, Teamcal Ai uses representation/reasoning in its algorithms. It provides clear, logical, and precise representation of data for all of its users during meeting scheduling. It even provides a timebox skill that tracks your goals, how much you have achieved, and how much you have left. This feature can be personalized and edited but it tracks your progress for you to keep you on track in order to achieve success. Teamcal Ai also provides reasoning and gives suggestions on what needs to be focused on in the future within your meetings. It has the power to make the hard decisions for you to ease your organization and choices!

Learning is the third and most important feature of AI because it is the skill that is closest to how humans function on a daily basis. It allows systems to take in knowledge and improve performance through experience. As we grow up, we use this ability by learning from our mistakes to better understand what is right from wrong. It is how we evolve from a child to an adult to extract the most positive outcome for us. This is exactly what AI does too through training algorithms on large datasets to recognize patterns and make predictions without explicit programming. It uses three forms of learning which are what we use: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Supervised learning utilizes labeled data to train models. Unsupervised learning is able to find hidden patterns in unlabeled data. Reinforcement learning is the process of taking information from its surroundings and learning through its interactions. Teamcal Ai uses supervised learning to train its modeled systems for meeting scheduling, unsupervised learning to find availability times for teams, and reinforcement learning to understand the best topics to go over to increase productivity.

Now onto natural interaction, which is how humans interact with these AI features in an easy manner. The key feature in this is natural language processing that breaks the barrier in connecting humans with artificial intelligence. Since AI has the ability to understand the language that we speak, NLP can comprehend context and intent, while enabling machines to generate human-like responses. It gives the same feeling one would feel while speaking to another human. However NLP is not as strong in understanding emotions and feelings as it is completely computerized. This can be seen as a benefit as any information it extracts out remains unbiased with no influence of sentiments. Teamcal Ai uses this feature in the best way possible. As you use our app, it provides the sentiment as if you were talking to your friend or co-worker on ways to maximize your efficiency. The elements in the app that use natural language processing are individually based and can be personalized to provide you that comfort and familiarity with your work.

The last aspect of artificial intelligence is societal impact, the feature that deals with the positive and negative sides. Even though AI has been one of the fastest growing and revolutionary technologies, one should not be blinded in looking at its lasting after effects. Ethical considerations are a key reason as there may be bias issues such as AI algorithms, transparency, privacy, and accountability. Artificial intelligent systems need to be completely firm by removing all bugs in order to ensure fairness, inclusivity, and equal access. An individual must feel safe in using their AI system and know that it will not spit out any skewed responses. Another ethical reason to look into is job displacement and economic inequality that AI can lead to. As its power grows to perform different tasks that can be done by humans, it will continue to replace many jobs leading to unemployment and an imbalance in our society. A way to fix this “bug” is to reskill the workforce to help them work hand in hand with AI, not be replaced by it. This is the primary strategy Teamcal Ai uses. It performs the tedious, time consuming tasks for workers but does not replace one’s job with it. It still provides full freedom to navigate and create the best work space for you. It also continues to update to the latest softwares and features to remove any bias features or bugs in the system. Teamcal Ai’s societal impact can only benefit everyone in the long run.

As we reviewed the five key aspects of artificial intelligence perception, representation/reasoning, learning, natural interaction, and societal impact we were able to gain a comprehensive look of the growing industry in front of us. By taking all of these changes into consideration moving forward, we can navigate through the landscape of AI to extract the most positive impact on society.
