Case Study 1: From flying warehouses to robot toilets – five technologies that could shape
the future
Introduction
There are few significant applications of artificial intelligence, such as machine
vision, speech recognition and expert system (Russell and Norvig 2016). Artificial
intelligence could be easily categorized as strong AI or weak AI. A weak AI cannot provide
proper solutions to a user, however a stronger AI has the ability of finding solution without
subsequent human intervention (Nilsson 2014). The following report outlines a brief
discussion on the case study of five technologies changing future with details.
1. Explanation of the Five Technologies outlined in the Article
The five technologies outlined in the article are as follows:
i) Smart Homes: This particular technology is a residence, which utilizes Internet
enabled devices for allowing remote control as well as management of the systems or
appliances like heating and lighting (Five Technologies. 2017). Moreover, there are door
locks, which allow proper programming through mobile devices. Security is highly enhanced
with this specific technology and expenses are reduced.
ii) Virtual Secretaries: These secretaries provide automation to trivial tasks, however
in a time consuming manner (Bond and Gasser 2014). An example of such tool is doodle.com
that is responsible for comparing availability of people for finding the best meeting time.
There is a high chance that retention of people is possible with proper utilization of robots.
iii) AI Doctors: The advancement in medicine has enabled AI to shape the future of
health care. AI was being trained with huge quantities of patient data for advising users in
going to emergency department (Five Technologies. 2017). A system would be developed for
