What is the importance of AI for the industry of the future?

AI is creating a new era of innovation in industry. Thanks to AI it is possible to save time, be more efficient, gather important data about our products and users and is giving significant advantage to industries adopting this technology. Let us show you some examples of these innovations:

Healthcare

AI is being used as robotics assisting medics with drug administration, surgery, administrative tasks, image analysis, drug discovery, and more. By integrating AI and predictive analytics, medical practitioners can understand the root cause or different factors that influence human health. And no, we’re not just referring to the identification of the medical conditions that are inherited.

AI predictive care will go deep and personal to note and assess factors such as where you were born, where you work, what you eat, the air pollution levels in your location, etc. By 2030, healthcare systems will anticipate the risk of an individual developing a chronic disease and recommend preventative measures before the condition worsens.

Logistics

Logistics currently benefits from GPS tracking, drones, and data analytics, AI is expected to bring a massive change in the logistics and supply chains sectors through AI-powered smart roads, where AI integrates with other transformative technologies such as big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) and connects with physical infrastructures like solar panels and sensors to make driving safer, more efficient, and in-line with government objectives of going green.

In essence, smart road technology will connect to drivers’ smartphones to provide real-time traffic alerts, potential hazards, emergencies, or any other disruptions that might cause logistics or supply chain interference.

Intelligent and automated warehousing are also an upcoming innovation to logistics,  it is expected that computers will be capable of identifying and organizing inventory as well as overseeing quality control. Plus, if a company has two or more warehouses, the AI systems will be able to communicate with each other to devise appropriate logistical solutions.

Retail and marketing.

AI is also one of the main tools in modern marketing strategies, especially those relating to sales processes, business models, customer service, and customer behavior. Thanks to AI’s advanced voice analysis techniques, it will be possible to judge from just a customer’s tone that something is bothering them. After that, the AI system will provide a real-time solution to guide the salesperson’s future approaches.

Moreover, retailers are also using AI within their systems to analyze customer preferences and shopping patterns, then ship items to customers without there being a formal order. Customers will then have the option to accept or return the orders they don’t need.

Conclusion.

It is safe to say that AI is the future of work. These are just a few industries and processes that are likely to benefit from AI-powered operations in the future. Others include entertainment, media, manufacturing, banking, cybersecurity, customer service, etc.

Therefore, the sooner you begin exploring the possibilities artificial intelligence can bring for your company, the better.
