AI traction is particularly due to the continued rollout of automated infrastructures, such as homes, grids, hospitals, and cities. AI can be commonly found in an ecosystem of a smart home comprising of a smart television control system, a self-service system in bathrooms, and an intelligent food identification system. Emerging trends of AI in sports automation offer an effective solution, helping athletes train more effectively and monitor progress.

When it comes to smart AI powered transportation, AI can help in autonomous driving and traffic management. In automated grids, AI assists in managing the grid operations, delivering consumer engagement services, and integrating smart energy platforms.

Artificial Intelligence Apps in Modern Industries

Healthcare

Artificial intelligence has proved to be one of the most promising technologies for healthcare related applications. AI capabilities are helping hospitals, clinics, and tertiary care providers analyze a patient’s information in EMRs in real time through a mobile app.

The chatbot capability powered by AI helps in responding to patients’ queries for better remote care Robot-assisted surgery, virtual nursing assistants, drug discovery, and genomics are some of the other healthcare-related applications being aided by AI.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector is leveraging the capabilities of AI to augment operational efficiency. For instance, manufacturing facilities are cultivating AI technology through a mobile app to detect a faulty circuit board, or to predict faults at each stage of the manufacturing process.

Apart from automating various tasks associated with the manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence is also being used for predictive maintenance, yield enhancement, testing, quality optimization, and improvement of inventory management.

FinTech (BFSI)

Financial service companies are using AI to make sure that every transaction is free from malware and fraudulent activities.

Officials in the banking industry are using AI and data science features to enhance customer experiences, and deploy AI-powered digital advisory platforms through a mobile app. Other departments that would benefit from AI include risk management and equity prediction.

Telecommunication

Telecommunications companies are using Artificial Intelligence to monitor, manage, and optimize a particular networks operations. As well as analyzing the usage, predict demand surges, and initiate predictive maintenance.

Also being deployed are AI-enabled chatbots to address the queries raised by subscribers, as well as to deliver speech & voice assistance.

Retail and E-commerce

E-commerce websites are using AI technology and data science to understand consumer behavior and make recommendations on products, as well as assist in searching for products in a conversational language.

Other tasks aided by AI include providing customer-centric search with data science by identifying exceptional target products, and augmenting the efficiency of the sales process. On the other hand, AI is also helping retailers in sales by organizing the logistics and delivery of goods.
