Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that has been receiving much attention in recent years. AI aims to create machines that can mimic human thought processes and decision-making abilities, and it has the potential to change the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. In this article, we will explore the various applications of AI and how it is revolutionizing different industries.
AI in Healthcare
One of the most significant applications of AI is in the field of healthcare. AI algorithms can analyze massive amounts of medical data, identify patterns, and provide accurate diagnoses in a fraction of the time it would take a human doctor. This not only saves time and money but also improves patient outcomes and saves lives.
AI-powered diagnostic tools are already being used to detect conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders. For example, Google’s AI tool, DeepMind, can detect breast cancer with a level of accuracy comparable to a human radiologist. The tool analyzes mammogram scans and highlights areas that require further attention.
AI is also being used to predict disease outbreaks and to monitor the spread of diseases. The technology can analyze data from multiple sources, including social media, news articles, and government reports, to identify patterns that could indicate the emergence of an outbreak. AI-powered monitoring tools can also track the spread of diseases in real-time, providing insights into the most effective methods of containment.
Another application of AI in healthcare is in the development of new drugs. Drug development is a long and costly process that involves many trials and experiments. AI can help to speed up this process by analyzing vast amounts of data and identifying potential candidates for new drugs. AI algorithms can also help to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from certain drugs, allowing for personalized treatment plans.
AI in Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry is another area where AI is set to make a significant impact. By using predictive analytics, manufacturers can optimize their supply chains, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency. This not only results in cost savings but also helps businesses to be more environmentally friendly.
AI can be used to predict demand for products and to optimize inventory levels, reducing the likelihood of stockouts and overstocking. The technology can also be used to predict equipment failures, allowing for preventive maintenance and reducing downtime.
AI-powered robots are also being used in manufacturing to perform repetitive tasks, such as assembly and packaging. These robots can work around the clock without needing breaks or rest, increasing productivity and efficiency.
AI in Entertainment
The entertainment industry is also utilizing AI to improve user experiences. Streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime are using AI algorithms to analyze users’ viewing habits and recommend content that they are likely to enjoy. This has resulted in increased user engagement and higher customer satisfaction.
AI can also be used to generate personalized content for users. For example, AI algorithms can analyze a user’s social media activity and generate a personalized news feed, tailored to their interests. Similarly, AI can be used to create personalized playlists for music streaming services.
AI in Transportation
The safety of our roads is a major concern, and AI is being used to address this issue. Self-driving cars are already a reality, and with the help of AI, they will become even safer and more efficient. AI algorithms can analyze real-time data from cameras and sensors to predict and avoid potential accidents, resulting in fewer injuries and fatalities on the roads.
AI can also be used to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion. The technology can analyze data from multiple sources, including traffic cameras, GPS devices, and social media, to identify patterns and predict traffic flow. This information can be used to optimize traffic lights and to suggest alternative routes to drivers.
Challenges and Concerns
As with any new technology, there are challenges and concerns associated with the widespread use of AI. One of the main concerns is the potential loss of jobs due to automation. As AI-powered machines and robots become more prevalent, there is a risk that they will replace human workers, leading to unemployment and economic inequality.
Another concern is the potential for bias in AI algorithms. Since AI algorithms are based on data sets, they can inadvertently reproduce the biases that exist in the data. This can lead to discriminatory outcomes and perpetuate social inequalities.
There is also a concern about the security and privacy implications of AI. As AI systems become more sophisticated, they will be able to collect and analyze vast amounts of personal data. This raises questions about who has access to this data, how it will be used, and how it will be protected.
Finally, there is a concern about the ethical implications of AI. As machines become more intelligent and capable of making decisions, there is a risk that they will make decisions that are unethical or harmful to humans. This raises questions about the responsibility and accountability of AI systems.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the impact of artificial intelligence on our society cannot be overstated. AI is poised to change the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us in ways that we cannot even imagine. From improving healthcare outcomes to optimizing manufacturing processes and enhancing the entertainment experience, AI has the potential to revolutionize many different industries.
However, the widespread use of AI also raises important ethical, social, and economic concerns that need to be addressed. As with any new technology, it is important to approach AI with caution and awareness, and to consider the potential risks and benefits of its use. It is essential that we develop AI systems that are transparent, accountable, and free from bias, and that we ensure that the benefits of AI are shared equitably across society.
To achieve these goals, it is important that we engage in an open and honest dialogue about the potential implications of AI, and that we work together to develop policies and regulations that promote ethical and responsible AI development and use. This will require collaboration between governments, businesses, and civil society organizations, as well as investment in research and development, education, and training.
Ultimately, the potential of AI is only limited by our imagination and our willingness to embrace change. With the right approach, AI has the potential to make our world a better place, improving our lives, enhancing our productivity, and contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future.
Here starts our journey together to the wider plains of life. I hope that it will show you how you are not here on earth just to live our lives, but to fulfill a purpose. This enriches the value of the truly valuable soul carried inside your body. Read further and try to learn the motivating life lessons from the extraordinary lives of these numerous beautiful minds who have roamed these pastures just like you and me.
What is the purpose of your life? Where do you see yourself? Help and love yourself mate!
“How are you?” – Tone of this question determines your motivation levels
The most asked and a generic sort of question which doesn’t always cover the diversity, and thus we end up adding lots of other supplementary questions along with it, ultimately adding a disturbance/noise to the communication channel between the involved parties.
Where am i going with this?
You must be wondering why is the author telling me of this. Answer my question first and you will know.
“Why do you need to ask others first, their ‘how-abouts’?”
A more important question would be to ask oneself “How am I?” and you are already good to go. I’ll try to be as objective as possible, in this attempt to make you realize what you might have been missing in your lives. Its “nothing”, Nothing is missing, we just need to know how to find it, irrespective of the troubles involved.Life does keep moving on, but it also is quite cruel in case of second chances. One should always be vigilant in order to make full use of this opportunity. The trouble in the path of success lies, in this skill to realize your defining moment, for which you have been waiting you whole life.
Human evolution has led the brain to the point where it continuously keeps on learning from past experiences, and this is the basis of the upcoming latest Artificial Intelligence, Neural networks and Deep/machine learning models. It’s time we start to learn more about ourselves. #self-Actualization
It all sounds like bullsh#t, and I understand the angle, but realization of the fact that it is bullshit, takes you one step closer to the “edge”. Now you know that just words, don’t matter at all. If you wanna succeed, get out of your comfort zone and do what you have never ever tried to.
No runaways.
Let’s take the examples of these real life Amazing personalities, who saw and endured everything in their own lives, and yet could not sit down for a minute. All it required was for them to be devoted to their goal, and the perseverance to never quit until you achieve it.
We should also understand that the below are just examples, who have become famous. There are multitudes more from where these come. Most of them never even told. Try to feel what they would have felt, and you will find that there are just so many levels to pain and struggles that one can never truly classify the hard work, and endurance of one person to the other.
Arnold, famously known for the role in “Terminator”, is one of the latest symbols of success for the latest generation, considering his work resume, and the introduction you can find about him anywhere. Honestly, if you don’t know who this guy is, you shouldn’t be here. Know more about Arnold here.
He has had his shares of troubles, and yet he is where he should be. Now he might have become a guide for those who need motivation, but imagine how deep the roots go, its only because he knew how important it is to, guide people and show them that they are not even half as bad as they think.
Struggles
He started body building with the ambition to become the greatest body builder in the world. That’s all fine, but trust me, do you think it was easy? When your body and mind knows that the place (gym) will make your body hurt for the days to come, and still you keep going there every day with the same passion and will.
Arnold did it all, from the famous “Calf exercise”, “weight lifting” and his serving time in the “Austrian Army”, acting in great movies, modelling, and recently “governor” of CA. The old “Work when the world sleeps” strategy can be seen in action throughout his life. The early death of his brother, and the death of his father sometime later, and the struggles, just weren’t big enough to stop him.
Key points
Nazi parents (literally), born in Austria.
Abused by father (this is something one never forgets)
Death of his brother, never spoke about him afterwards (shock!)
Death of his father, never spoke about him too afterwards (Pain and Loss)
Started weight training at 15, inspired by movies. (seems too dreamy to even think of, at the age of 15)
90 min walk to the gym. 5 hours daily workout. Used to break open gym sometimes, when it was locked on weekends. (That Interested in his stuff? Are we even nearby?)
Used self-shame technique, when he saw his lower body was not developing as fast as the upper body. (Would you do it? Go out in tights so that people can call you fat, making you feel so bad that you automatically start working on it.)
Served in Austrian Army. (must have been brutal, for mental development).
Two times Governor, Mr. Universe, Mr. Olympia and so much more. (Role model of Gym Enthusiasts).
In his words
“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful”.
Keanu Reeves, or “NEO” from “THE MATRIX”. Well for the most part he could easily be the most handsome man alive, and I don’t have a care in this world if people call me “Gay” for calling him that. On surface he looks as calm as a sea, and the life he has led is completely different. Let’s take a dive and find out for ourselves.
For the most part, he is a very successful actor, but his life is one of the best examples one can grab, stimulating feelings and emotions which could only lead to the betterment of our lives. Some of us might have already guessed from the way all his roles in his movies turn out to be, that there is something weird about this guy. Well lets find out then.
Donations
For those of us, who are already updated, It might sound very old, but he is one of those actors who has been donating almost 90% of his earnings in charity, how does one become like that? If this would have been incorrect, we already know that there are so many counterparts of us waiting already to boom out anyone if they are somewhere nearby the death of even a mosquito.
Life changes very quickly and he seems to be one of those gifted enough to realize what it is meant for. Whatever happens, we know for sure that people might forget the blockbusters but will never forget a good soul.
No more required.
Imagine being in his shoes, with that much on your plate, could you possibly take life as easy and beautifully with a purpose, as this guy can. Seems pretty damn impossible to me. Considering the general consensus, most of us would try to buy shit and fill the void in our lives, with money, girls and stuff which would just keep us busy all of the time.
Key points
Father leaves family when he was 3 (Quite a shock! Maybe you could be too small to realize, but no more learning ground)
Continuously changed schools at very young age (possibly made him more flexible with people and places)
Dyslexic (The teacher)
Death of a very close friend (Drug overdose, something as sensitive as that)
Birth of a stillborn child (The shock)
Death of his wife (Devastation? For us maybe, surely not for him)
One of the most amazing personalities on and off screen. (Imagine his level of experience, and the way he could look at the different faces of this godforsaken world)
Sylvester ‘sly’ Stallone, as is his full name and more famous by the name of “Rocky”. Hell yeah! That’s how one should be remember in history. Now why do you think he is there? The answer is quite simple, he kept moving on without worrying about the outcome. I know this seems a lot theoretical than it should be, because in the current world, everything we do is defined by the type of outcome it can produce.
Struggle
Rocky was the starting of his career, and the true passion. It was the “point”, the edge where he had to reach, and rest was done by the hand of god himself. His body building career itself could be an example, where he could easily be compared to his counterpart working simultaneously in the same industry “Arnold”. Both are really good friends, and the trio gets completed only when you include “Bruce Willis” into the gang.
His life was not easy, and the story is quite moving. Without too much hassle, why not simply learn and realize where he stood straight, and where we could have gone down on our knees. Simplest of those terms would be the fact that he was one of those who did not have any background, and he literally drilled his way into the Hollywood industry out of sheer will and determination.
Key points
Born with paralyzed lower left side of the face (trouble begins, and so does one’s experience)
Violent neighborhood (Just like cherry on a cake)
Broke living conditions, homeless to the extent that he had to sell his dogs
Worked in softcore porn just once, to get through a day (Adding further to his experience)
Lived on the streets for days to come
Struggled to get his script for “Rocky” signed with himself as lead, and finally got it
Did not give up even under such adverse conditions, I mean what else could have gone wrong, except if he would have died, or maybe become a thug.
Earned more than 100 million just through his first movie, and his salary was a mere 35000. (It’s always not like you wish it would have been. Learn to make the best out of any situation. Easy to say. Harder than hard to actually do.)
Lessons
What we need to learn from here, is that we need to have faith and believe in ourselves, and who knows we might find the one thing that would completely change our lives. From Sylvester, the “Sly” Stallone, I can easily thank “Muhammad Ali” for inspiring him to write the script for “Rocky”.
In his own words
“It ain’t about how hard you hit, It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving on. That’s how winning it’s done”
4. J. K. Rowling
Must have read or seen Harry potter. Didn’t? You need some serious help (link). Any clues whatsoever are so very encouraged. J K Rowling is one of the greatest woman success story which should always be kept in mind. The type of skill and strength which requires to stand through things, and when finally given the option to act, selecting something which does not seem like a coincidence at all. It was all bound to happen for her, and the true example of “Hold-on” strategy is just her.
She might be too famous for being over generous and kind hearted. It’s all good, but the fact which slips from the naked eye is where was all of that? Was it there before or were we not looking in the right direction.
Lesson
Dream something and then wake up, realize it was a dream, but to be able to create something in this real world, which will shape the characters of the upcoming numerous generations, through the characters of her imaginary magic world. It’s just amazing, how her fans have started to live in the world created by her visionary dream.
Did she have a life before that? Of course she did, but how is that she changed it all, not by some magic, but by her dedicated attitude towards life, which showed her the right way to go, when in peril. Now it was the time for the “sheep” to be the “wolf” of her world.
Wonder how long it takes for a person to become into the ONE, who he is supposed to be. Well guess since we are all made up of carbon, it would take a lot of time and pressure to turn one into the Diamond, we all desire to have. Let’s visit her pressure cooker for a moment.
Key points
Got inspired about a character “harry” and weaved a whole world through a train journey. (How common is that? But did you ever try to write down even a single word?)
Death of her mother. (pressure type 1)
Divorce and loss of love life (pressure type 2)
Responsibilities of being a single mother (pressure type 3)
Worked on the book when she could find time, between jobs (Utilization to the extremes)
Faced innumerous rejections and worked for 5 long, hard years (She knew it was going to be difficult. Didn’t stop trying.)
Reworked it every time, and used “Objectification” against all the characters and elements present in the whole story in full detail, to make it perfect and immersive. (List down your good and bad qualities on two sides of a page. This is a perfect example)
First ever author to reach Billion-dollar level. Donates almost 1/5th of her total earnings for good causes.
5. Eminem
Eminem aka Slim Shady aka Marshall Mathers, the only Rap God as we know it cannot be left out of the same discussion, when it comes to this. This guy might come off as a bad influence in first sight, and that is because his work is like scorching sun on your bare back in a hot desert, and at the same time you know its reality and you cannot do anything more about it.
His life has been a complete example of anything we have been trying to put on here. Be it will power, passion, determination, devotion, practice. Everything he has ever given out into the world in the form of his music (except a few obviously) including the movie “8 mile” has been a message given out to the whole world. One can do anything and there is no shame in failing or getting lost. What matters the most is whether you found your way back or not.
Lessons
Achievements and his past life, are all these stuff which can be easily found from everywhere. Try to think for once, what happens when you get into a bus and everyone around you start staring at you, and some even stop whatever they were doing to take a look at you. Eminem was the white guy, getting into a similar bus, only full of black people who are likely to throw you off every time you try. Let’s try to visualize his bus ride for our own.
Key points
Father leaves young & addict mother with a small kid, Marshall or mickey.
Disturbed and bullied as a child.
Violent neighborhood. Comatose for 3 months due to a beating in locality.
Started Rapping, wrote his own lyrics. The only white Rapper in his time.
Studied dictionary to expand his vocabulary. (Practical Intelligence)
Quit high school education when he was in 9th standard after failing thrice.
Faced early rejections, race based bias barrier but turns out he used them for his own leverage. Channeled his anger into lyrics which shook the world.
Used to work in burger king, and perform Rap battles to practice and earn.
Failed in his first attempt to go big. Next one was way better and bigger.
Visited rehab on his own, when he found himself taking up to 30 vics in a day. Came back with “Relapse” New album, which changed the way industry looked at him. The music can easily be used to help other recovering addicts forever.
Won 3 consecutive grammy awards, Record holder in this matter. 11 grammy s in total, 9 people’s choice awards.
Oscar awarded for original work in “Lose yourself”. Which he apparently wrote all 3 paragraphs in one single go.
Now he owns “Shady Records” and guess who would you have to beat in “rap battle” to get in? #Lyrical #Wisdom
The “Byramangala Lake” we are talking about here is a polluted lake now. It feeds into the Kaveri river downstream. It is currently being ruined even more tragically as you keep on reading here, flushing your toilets. Not only you, but he factories keep on fuming as per their own convenience. There could be many more factors involved in this, and why shouldn’t there be, when the major participant is such a big city as ours. Bangalore.
Beautifully large water body, but polluted to an extreme extent
Destination
Byramangla lake, bidadi, Ramnagar (on Mysore highway from Bangalore)
The byramangala lake, as seen from above. Google maps ( satellite view). its full of extra unwanted growth as clearly seen.
On the way downhill
The journey starts when a normal IT guy, usually drunk and high, on one fine Sunday morning decides to take a ride on his newly bought geared cycle. What he expected, he got it all. Fresh air, soft music, less traffic, good roads. All seemed good and green to him. And then he realized that the journey seems easy as the road was going downhill. Yes, Bangalore is kind of on top of a hill, a big one as a matter of fact. This explains why all our shit is going down this way, and you will understand this pun later.
After Reaching 30 km and he realized that he could see a big lake on Google maps named “byramangala lake”. well he thought
“let’s see. I’ve already come this far. I can surely go some more.”
The route taken to reach byramangala lake from Bangalore
Now there were uphills, and he struggled even if he was extremely tired just so that he could have that clean few breaths on the shore of a big lake. He would finally find a place with nature singing in harmony and healing his scarred mind, body and soul. but this was not his destiny at all.
Water going down the river, as seen from the bridge
As soon as he crossed the bridge over the river, he knew something was wrong. but what he saw was far worse than he could have ever imagined. For a moment he was lost. he thought it was ice floating so daftly over the water.
“wow! I love it! wait, what?”
Water coming from the lake, taking the fall only to create dangerous chemical foam
And then his body working slowly under alcoholic effect realized something. There was a certain kind of smell lingering in the air. It is not even a fall of 10 ft, from water of the byramangala lake over the dam into this so called river. The force of waterfall had already gathered up foam, almost to the same height as the fall itself.
The shock
the aerial view of water shown in white due to the foam. Google Maps (Satellite View)
It was beautiful, and sadly nothing more than an illusion for him now. He mustered up some courage and went off track to see things in a closer manner. What he observed was weird. Everywhere the foam or the dirty water from the polluted lake reached, was left with a thick layer of black deposit with chemically foul smell. The foul smell had started to hurt him. Being a smoker and also cycled this far, his body needed oxygen. He felt discouraged, angry, betrayed, guilty, dizzy, weak and sad all at the same time. All of it had been in vain.
A pit with foam filled in it. As it evaporates it leaves the black chemical deposit as clearly seen in the picture.
With the feeling of hatred, he looked around with desperate eyes to see if he can find anybody who could help him understand what he saw.
“What is this agony?”
Think of what would have happened to the flora and fauna around it. The nature around this kind of water stream must really feel like they are living a ghetto of some kind, in their own terms. He thought instantly in a moment about how frequently he has to clean his own fish bowls to keep the fishes alive.
“Who the fuck comes to cleans this mess?”
“How to clean this fish bowl ?”
The action plan
Without further ado, he made small videos and clicked a few pics which could be considered as proof. He could have explored further and gone on about it, like a casual tourist. But he stepped off towards his journey home with his sad heart, his tired body, the guilty soul, a punctured cycle from the off-roading near lake and a deep impression on his mind.
Talking to people
He had to do something, he just had to. so, he went about to nearby shops and in the fake act of casual relaxing, smoker. Talked to a few people. He did not get anyone’s attention. It was just not that interesting for them as it was for him. Hell! they all understood him but always kept repeating that “they didn’t understand him at all”. then a drunk guy comes to the same shop, and luckily there were options to buy alcohol tetra packs even at 8 in the morning at that place. When the other drunk guy could not even stand properly, our drunk cyclist went and asked him about the lake. To which the local replied in broken Hindi and Kannada. The lake has been like this since the time of his grandfather’s, meaning almost 100 years.
He did not trust this drunk guy’s verdict. Next up was the lady shopkeeper. She reluctantly answered to his questions in a bad tone “It’s waste water from Bangalore”. He replied in a furious tone, “What about the large manufacturing factories around here?”. she calmly answered, “Yes, why not. them all are responsible”. He could not understand what she tried to imply.
The way back up
The route taken to reach Bangalore from Byramangala lake
On his way to Bangalore, after the smoke stop, there came a large stretch of highway. Then came a very small lake on the left and then a small city with people bustling around quietly. Throughout the way between these two stops, he could only see different big factories. They all had big names like Toyota, coca cola, Ashok Leland, Maruti, and many other power plants, chemical and rubber plants manufacturers.
Guess what they could be putting into the fish bowl as per se, every new sunny and beautiful day. What a blissful day it was!
At this small stop, he felt hungry unusually, and had a snack. But the whole time wondering what is wrong with us all. Maybe we are all this way on big or small levels. For example, he noticed a person well dressed enough to know English having breakfast on the same table. He struck a weird conversation where the other person was not willing to talk. He was a worker in Toyota too, and when asked about the lake, he grew suspicious and started talking about the nearby small lake as if he did not know about the big one is right over the corner. Another Liar.
Realization
He somehow reached back to Bangalore and bought several clean mineral water bottles. In every bottle, he could only taste the water of the polluted lake, and in every gush of wind, he could only smell the foul smell as was around the lake. He was once again lost in the life of a mega city. Lost in its rush. Lost in its life. In the beginning, it was a big thing for him to talk to people about this, but the topic always twisted itself into something or the other, and never continuing on to the main solution or reason about improving the situation of this polluted lake. Maybe this could be one little step from his side.
He never did fully understand, who is the fish and where is the bowl.!
@mother_nature@ .@earth@ .. @humans@ !
Think about it, and if possible, do something little on your part to stop this.
