Week 1: MKTG 345- Surfing the Tsunami Chapter 2

If someone were to utter the words "self-driving cars" ten years ago everyone would turn and laugh. In 2018 it sounds much less ridiculous, and even realistic. With rapid growth cars went from manual transmission, to automatic, to being able to park themselves, and now they can drive by themselves. This just shows how fast AI is taking over the world. In the last couple years there has been a significant advance in machine learning, teaching a computer how to do something. This has lead to drastic advancements in technology.

The core of artificial intelligence and machine learning is math. Using statistics, algebra, and probability machines can be built to do virtually anything.

Drones are another area of AI that have advanced drastically. They can fly, take videos and pictures, and capture a birds like view all with one tiny machine. Just like cars, drones are starting to gain the ability to function on their own. They no longer need a human brain to run it, technology has grown so much that a machine can perform the tasks needed without a humans help. AI is not just effecting cars and drones, it has advanced the medical field and science as a whole. New advancements come out every day involving AI so being able to understand it is very important in today's world.
