Technology stirs at a breakneck speed. Artificial Intelligence (Ai) has been an amazing concept of science fiction for over the decades. Even some of the best Hollywood movies are based on it. It has been more in fiction than in reality. But some recent advances in AI has proved the point beyond any doubt, that now artificial intelligence Technologies is coming out of our dreams.
Can you deny that now we have more power in our fingers than somewhere it used to be in a king’s kingdom! Researchers are singing together in a chorus that 2018 will be the year, when we will witness some unprecedented rise in the field of artificial intelligence. In fact the momentum was being built from a couple of years.
The term Artificial Intelligence was coined in 1955 to describe an entirely new behavior and discipline of Computer Science. It holds a complete basket of fresh and aged technologies. Some of them are more proven whereas others are comparatively new.
As per a report of Narrative Science, by 2018 more than 62% Companies will use Artificial Intelligence Technologies. Speaking in terms of investment, 2017 was the year which witnessed an unprecedented rise in the field of Artificial Intelligence. In 2017, thousands of companies sweared in the name of AI. It registered an increase of 300% enhanced investment.
Now, Let’s call Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Technologies here, one by one, with their names and let’s go in detail what miracle they are about to do in our world!
Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Technologies that you simply can’t afford to Miss
Speaking out correct words, in the correct sequence, at the correct time, has always been an uphill task. Forget about machines even we humans find it a herculean task.

Till yet, Virtual agents were being in picture only in Hollywood Movies, but now they have entered in our real life too apart from reel life. It is being widely quoted as “darling of the Media”. It is providing everything- from simple chatbots to advanced systems which can intelligently connect and establish network with humans!
It’s more like a dating of machines with humans. Currently being used for customer service support. Some guys are also using it as smart home manager!
If you too want a smart home manager for your home or chatbots then these are the companies which can offer incredible help to you- Here goes their names; Amazon, Google, Creative Virtual, IBM, IPSoft, Apple, Microsoft, Artificial Solutions etc..
The main business of Speech Recognition is to transcribe and transform human speech into such a format that becomes useful and understable by Computers. Nowadays it is being used for generating interactive voice response system and mobile applications.
With each passing day, it is being used extensively by the systems to transform human language into such a format which computers can understand.
Vendors for Speech Recognition Services are Open Text, Verint Systems, NICE, and Nuance Communications.
Can you believe that computers can also learn like humans and that too in a more intelligent way than we do. Machine Learning is an extended area of Computer Science and a branch of Artificial Intelligence Technologies . Its sole mission is to make machines so powerful that they can learn on their own.
It provides, API’s, Development and training tools, BIG DATA, Algorithms, application and several other machines for it. Machine learning platforms are increasingly becoming more popular with each passing day. Such machine learning platforms are being used for prediction and classification in enterprise applications.
Some of the companies that you can refer for Machine Learning Platforms are; Microsoft, SAS, Amazon, Google, Fractal Analytics,
It is that part of Artificial Intelligence which slots Multiple Rules and Logic into Artificial Intelligence Systems. Used for the initial setup, integration, maintenance, and establishing cohesion between different rules and logic within the AI system.
It is used in various enterprise applications either to assist or execute automated decision making tasks. Companies which are providing these decision management platforms are: Informatica, Pegasystems, Advanced Systems Concepts, UiPath and Maana.
Deep Learning is growing at an unprecedented rate. It consists of a group of algorithms, that takes the help of artificial neural networks, at multi-levels for learning with multiple levels of abstraction.
Some of the applications based on Deep Learning, that I can mention here are;Image recognition, speech recognition, NLP, Optical Character Recognition, Classification, Clustering, prediction of any physical entity that can be sensed and digitalised.
If you are looking for deep learning platforms service providers or vendors then these companies can be of great interest to you; Leverton, Mathworks, Peltarion, Sentient Technologies, Fluid AI and Deep Instinct.
Now automation of robotic process is a thing of reality. The credit for it goes to various scripts and methods which imitate human tasks and automate them to render help to corporate processes. It is one of the best gift of technology till yet and it is being used to execute special tasks where humans can’t work.
Currently there’s a complete chaos and distrust among the people working in the field of technology. They are in constant fear and a feeling of insecurity in respect of Artificial Intelligence Technologies that it will take away their role. But as far as I see the role of Artificial Intelligence Technologies is not to snatch human roles. On the contrary it is here to lend support to humans in executing difficult tasks in difficult situations.
Some of the companies that I can mention here who are primarily focussed on this field are; Pegasystems, Automation Anywhere, UiPath, WorkFusion and Blue Prism.
NLP is something which is based on interactions between computers and human languages. NLP uses text analytics to understand the pattern of sentences. It is also enabled to understand the meaning, purpose, intention of such sentences with the help of statistical methods and Machine Learning.
NLP is widely being used to enhance security systems and to detect any fraud. Apart from this companies are also using it to extract unstructured data.
Some of the prominent vendors of NLP are; Expert System, Indico, Knime, Mindbreeze, Linguamatics, Synapsify..
Bio-metrics is that part of artificial intelligence technologies which identifies, measures and analyses physical attributes of human body and its related behavior also. It facilitates enhanced natural interactions between humans and machines. It also measures interactions of machines and humans in respect of touch, physical images, speech and body language recognition.
This wonderful facet of technology is currently being used for market research tasks. Main vendors of Biometrics technology are; Affectiva, Agnitio, FaceFirst, Sensory, Tahzoo, Synquera and 3VR.
Now, in the end let’s talk something about AI Optimized Hardware. Its an important area of artificial intelligence technologies. Companies are investing aggressively in Machine Language and Artificial Intelligence hardware designs which will curve the future path for Next Generation of Computers.
