How AI Protects Us
We should consider AI not as something competing with us, but as something that can strengthen our abilities. And it might help keep us safe in the 21st century.
Predict infectious (传染性的) diseases
The AI in medicine is a system that combines the time and location of each new infectious disease. "These are all factors that determine how the disease will spread," explains a researcher. It will allow public health officials to take action early for locals.
Keep hunger from the door
Researchers develop an automated system aimed at fighting against diseases in crops. The Mcrops project allows local farmers to take pictures of their plants and use computers that have been trained to spot the signs of the four main diseases that are responsible for damaging crops.
Fight cancer
Cancer causes more than 8.8 million deaths worldwide and 14 million people are diagnosed with some form of cancer every year. Now Google and IBM have been applying their AI technology to this problem.
The task of balancing power supplies is getting harder. The spread of smart meters — digital energy monitors that automatically record usage - is also providing more data than ever about how and when consumers use energy. The EU alone plans to have 500 million smart meters in homes by 2020.
A. Record the locations smartly.
B. Keep the balance of power supplies
C. Thus, the farmers can have a good harvest.
D. The system can also help to predict the disease.
E. This is because AI has an ability that's far beyond humans.
F. But now people have no ideas how to deal with the terrible problem.
G. Yet catching cancers as early as possible can greatly improve a patient's chances of survival.
