The A.I. revolution, to your community soon!

BY STEVEN KASZAB

The pandemic has brought about seriously considered developments in all fields of technology. Our use of media, A.I. and all things technical have skyrocketed these past few years, as voluntary and forced isolation became the policy of the day.

For our elderly, hospitalized, young at heart citizens a need has developed, developing seeking tools that will activate our minds, indulge our fantasies, be with us no matter what state of mind we are in and maintain a connection to society also. Tools that inform, teach, stimulate, and focus upon us.

A.I.
Robotics has taken massive leaps these past few years, introducing us to artificial intelligence once seen in science fiction movies. Robots that cannot only function as tools programmed to set parameters, but respond to their clients facial, voice tones and movements. Whether you need a companion looking like a dog, or a futuristic cyborg, the technology is progressing daily, and large corporations are developing computer systems connecting these devices directly to human requirements.

Holograms
We have seen concerts where a hologram of “Prince” appears to entertain or seeing a couple getting married and appear to their loved ones across the ocean in a hologram. Imagine a choir of talented singers appearing to a group of shut-ins at a senior’s home, or a senior citizen receiving a visit from their family members via hologram. This can now be done, although costly. With availability, cost will become affordable to all.

Smart glasses and VR
Capable of incorporating holograms and set programs, these devices make relationships, travel, and active living available to all while not leaving their homes. Whether virtual reality or reality is your intention, these devices introduce variety and spice to one’s life. They also are important parts of higher education programs. Say you are a doctor who needs to conduct a heart transplant. These devices can put the doctor through an actual operation, allowing for historic reflex and learning. Ever want to skydive? Put on the glasses and away you go.

Artificial Intelligence can be an asset to humanity, tools of convenience, but the future promises that the average citizen may well have the chance to experience the magic of this scientific sector.

What is planned for the future? Imagine a room or house where a system is located with an imprint upon one or more individuals. The psychological and physical aspects of these residents are known to the system. Multi purpose technologies can interact with them, providing all forms of attention, communication, and support. The system is connected to a central observing centre whose job is to maintain and instigate possible responses to the resident’s needs.

Governments are partnering with various corporations to develop programs and tools that can be injected into hospitals, senior living, and the workplace too. Investments with profound controls will hopefully bring the A.I. revolution to your community soon.
