1. 0:03Artificial intelligence.
2. 0:08Artificial intelligence is the idea that
3. 0:11a machine can display human levels of
4. 0:13intelligence.
5. 0:15For example, machines that can speak,
6. 0:18think, learn, and even be emotionally
7. 0:21aware.
8. 0:23The ultimate challenge in AI is for
9. 0:25scientists to create an equally
10. 0:27intelligent being.
11. 0:30All actions performed by machines are
12. 0:32carefully programmed using commands and
13. 0:35algorithms, mathematical equations,
14. 0:38which instruct the machine how to
15. 0:40respond to specific stimuli, prompts.
16. 0:44Some machines are able to learn,
17. 0:46but this isn't truly AI.
18. 0:49It just usually means that the machine
19. 0:51can retain new information that is
20. 0:53presented to it, or that it can
21. 0:55recognize and respond to new stimuli.
22. 0:59In fact, it is so difficult create AI
23. 1:02that scientists haven't even been able
24. 1:04to create a robot that can hold a basic
25. 1:07conversation yet.
26. 1:10One application of AI is in healthcare.
27. 1:14Some hospitals in the UK are trialing AI
28. 1:17systems in their hospitals to ensure
29. 1:19that the patients who require the most
30. 1:21urgent care get it.
31. 1:23The technology analyzes test results and
32. 1:26assesses the risk of abnormal results.
33. 1:29It then communicates directly with the
34. 1:31correct specialist or doctor by
35. 1:34displaying a notification on a
36. 1:36smartphone.
37. 1:38This technology is already saving lives
38. 1:41and saving nurses up to 2 hours per day,
39. 1:44meaning they can spend more time with
40. 1:46the patients who need it most.
41. 1:49The creator of any new technology should
42. 1:52consider the impact of their new
43. 1:53technology on society.
44. 1:56For instance, AI could improve our lives
45. 1:59and make them easier in many ways.
46. 2:01However, if we manage to create machines
47. 2:04with human-like intelligence and
48. 2:06capabilities, we may have to worry about
49. 2:09if they will ultimately take control of
50. 2:11us.
