Moving Forward Into The Future As we've seen, A.I. can do a lot of things that humans are not good at and it's only going to get better. As technology keeps advancing and more data is collected, A.I. will be able to make even more powerful decisions about our lives. But with all those capabilities comes great responsibility: we need to think about what kinds of decisions might be made for us before they're made for us by machines whose decisions we don't have any say in making yet. What the term actually means depends on who you ask and when you actually pose the question. In general, smart technology will refer to anything that is on the cutting edge that makes work, medicine, or business run more efficiently. Let s take a close look at smart technology and its modern connotations. After working 8 hours a day and spending another two hours in traffic, the last thing most people want to do is spend hours in the kitchen. With smart appliances, you can cut your time in the kitchen in half. Not only can you set up an automated cooking schedule for your crock pot, oven, or air fryer, but you can also automate some of the cleanings. Temperature controls and other features can be placed on a timer or even set to trigger when humans are detected within the home. Not only will this cut down on energy costs, but it will also make life easier in general. Check-Ins and Remote Monitoring Speaking of interconnectivity, smart homes now allow homeowners to be connected to their appliances and devices remotely. Not only can you view but also record any activity near or around your home, has it also allowed for remote access if you happen to be away from home Smart Locks for Residential Doors No home is truly secure without a strong lock. Smart locks not only secure the entry and exit door of your home, but they also allow you to monitor who is coming and going. However, there are so many more AI s already in the market. The History of AI The term artificial intelligence was created in 1956, but machines that were able to learn human behaviors were created before then. Most AIs that were created in the 50s focused on problem-solving and performing mathematical computations.
