3. Effect of Artificial Intelligence on
human life
"Technology made large populations possible; large
populations now make technology indispensable.”
- Joseph Wood Krutch
You might have been imagining how Netflix gives
you the right suggestion on which movie or show to
watch, as though the app has been just been
personalized according to your interests. Netflix
makes use of one of the high accuracy predictive
technology and predicts the shows that you might be
interested in watching based on several parameters
such as your previous viewing history, what people
with similar taste consider watching or what time of
the day your watching the show. These are in fact
mentioned in their article "How Netflix
Recommendations System works", I'll be leaving a
link for the same below. It's not just Netflix for that
reason, most of the e-commerce website gives you
personalized suggestions on what to buy, or what
people who bought the same item also bought. All
this is because of the advancement in Artificial
Intelligence, abbreviated as AI.
AI has a vast effect on today's world. I will be
discussing about five important factors where AI has
affected the world. Before explaining more about the
same, I have listed them down for reference. At this
point I request the reader to go through the complete
blog and share your valuable feedback in the
comments down below. Thanks.
1. Impact on jobs
2. AI in healthcare
3. AI in finance
4. AI in cyber security
5. AI in crime reduction
Impact on jobs:
Frankly an AI machine, which the man himself
created is proving to be more intelligent than him.
Most of those jobs which needed a lot of human
interactions are now being done Artificial Intelligent
systems. These systems are proving to be more
useful as the efficiency they provide is high and they
are more cost effective. What's positive, there are
two things, one being the cost cutting, many
industries that had to pay a huge amount of salary are
now saving money, and two the need of software
engineers in the industry is going to increase, this is
because even though these systems are smart there
has to be someone designing these systems.
AI in healthcare:
AI plays a very important role in healthcare.
How? One of the key purpose for which AI is
used in healthcare is diagnosis. The accuracy that AI
can provide in this field will surely reduce the average
percentage of misdiagnosis by reducing the chances
of error. AI can be further used in Radiology which
involves imaging to diagnose and treat diseases with
in the human or animal body. AI can be used detect
fractures and injuries using digital image processing.
Statistics and data analysis can be used to determine
what quantity of a drug has been sold, how frequently
a practitioner has suggested the drug and to what level
has a drug been useful.
AI in cyber security:
Cyber Security is one important factor in today's
world. Despite the fact of there has been a lot of cyber
crimes that are happening, we can also see that there
has been several malware, ransomware and virus that
could corrupt data on your computer. AI can be used
to detect potential threats to the system and block
them as a safety measure. Another important concept
is the use of bio metrics. Usually passwords are used
to secure data. But considering today's technology
and computing capabilities, it is easily possible to
crack the passwords by few permutation and
combination methods. On the other side use of bio
metrics, which makes use of digital image processing
proves to be accurate and useful.
AI in crime reduction:
Artificial intelligence can be made used to detect and
prevent crime. The practical implementation would
be or rather is a crime detection system and have a
quick response team that could prevent a happening
crime. Several facts have to be considered while
building such a system in order to capture every small
information. AI can also be used in crime
investigation, locating of important evidences in
crime scenes would really prove helpful during the
investigation process. Again considering the amount
of details and precision that the system has to look
into because every small details is crucial in such a
case.
AI in finance:
In the last few years, AI has been a game changer in
the field of finance. Investors and bankers are using
AI to do investments. AI algorithms are helpful as
predictions they make are quite accurate and help the
investor make more profits. In a similar way AI is also
helping the companies to make better strategies to
reach out to the right investors and customers.
Companies are reducing on costs by making use of AI
for resource management, business analytics and
make advancements and plans based on their past
data, which in fact is one import factor for any
company irrespective of the field. As they say "Learn
from your past mistakes”.

4. Concluding, has AI affected us? It's a definite yes, AI
has affected every single aspect of human life. This
is not the end of it, artificial intelligence has more to
offer us, there is more to come. I have a question to
all of you, What do you think, will there be a time
when artificial intelligence would have a dominating
status on human and how would it really affect us?

An approach to learn a programming
language
I have been coding or practically writing programs
and logic for the past 8 years. I studied in an ICSE
school, and programming was a part of our
curriculum right from 8th grade. My journey of
programming started with the C++ programming
language and then moved on to java in the 9th and
10th grade, finally happened to have settled with
python for the last two years. My journey of
programming was quite smooth, for a fact that I
knew this is where I have to land and I had the right
set of people, my family and my professors at school
and college to guide me. The purpose of this blog or
article is to convey an efficient method with which
learning a programming language can be made
simpler.
1. Find a Purpose: I have seen this happening,
people randomly choose a programming language
and want to start learning that language. The thing is
that before you choose a programming language,
find a purpose for programming. Erase the concept
that, just knowing a programming language will
fetch you a job. Knowing a programing language
without the knowledge of how to use that
programming language that will help you with the
project, learn the language and finish the project.
2. The art of asking: For a good
programmer, the foremost thing he has to do
is to ask questions. Why did something
happened when I wrote this piece of code?
What did I miss out in my code? How can I
make my code more efficient? Ask ask ask.
Follow communities, and one such supportive
community is the Stack Overflow community,
you can literally find solutions to most of your
coding questions on Stack Overflow.
Understand that there is someone else who
was also once stuck at the same point. He
would havefound a solution and that solution
could help you. And another important thing,
give back to the community. You find a
solution, consider sharing it, someone else
could have the same issue and is looking for a
solution.
3. Take baby steps: So, now that you know what
you which language you want to learn. Start
learning. Find a suitable course, there are a lot of
them available on Udemy, Udacity, Coursera,
LinkedIn, and many more platforms. Remember,
never finish a course with the urgency of obtaining
a certificate, take baby steps in understanding
every concept thoroughly and make sure you
practically type out and implement each concept.
You learn when you write, that’s the logic.
4. Debug: This step, debugging has thought me a
lot. I find it very interesting when I get to solve
errors, or bugs my friends encounter at college.
Solving bugs or debugging gives you a vast
exposure on how to tackle problems that can arise
while programming. Having this knowledge will
not only help you when you encounter such bugs,
but also lets you know why something happened.
So, yes. This is how I would suggest you to start
learning programming. Writing logics and code
are so much fun if we are willing to explore and
learn. Develop the right skills in the journey. And
I’ll wish all of you Happy Coding. So, with that
said, I’ll conclude this post, if you find this post
helpful, just hit the like button and do follow.
