DATA SCIENCE- A TECHNOLOGY ON FIRE

WHY THE RELEVANCE OF DATA SCIENCE IS GROWING RAPIDLY?

Data science is on fire in the technical industry. It is growing very rapidly. Most companies are using data science technology. There are many applications of data science in various fields. Data science is of interest to executives and company owners because it is the only technology which works on data. That’s why most companies in various fields are working on the data science technology. But many people don’t know what exactly it means? Data science is a technology which mainly works on data. It deeply understands the data and recognize hidden information from it. However, data and information, these two terms seem to be same, but they are absolutely not. If we talk technically, the data is the input which a user gives to the consumer. The information is the useful data. The information is that data which is important and is of use. So, basically data science technology uses the information squeezed from the big set of data to give the end result. Data science uses many concepts like data mining, data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence etc.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

AI is a branch of the computer science. It is an application of data science. Artificial intelligence is the technology which makes the machine intelligent, so that it can work like a human being. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are two applications of data science technology. These two technologies seem to be same, but they are completely different. Weak AI is the technology in which machines do not work like a human being completely, but they can be made to do the same. Strong AI is the technology in which machines completely act like a human being and perform tasks. Another classification of this technology is based on the functionalities of the machines. These are--> reactive machines, limited memory, self-awareness and theory of mind.

ADVANTAGES OF ARTFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

·         AI reduces error and does the task with more accuracy as compared to human beings. Artificial intelligence technology is being used more in robotics. Scientists are making robots to send to space for exploration. As the robots are made of metal bodies, they can survive in space better than a human being. They are more accurate.

·         We are familiar with Siri and Cortana. These two are also an application of the artificial intelligence technology. Siri and Cortana recognize the voice of the user and give them the results. This is called voice recognition. This technology has reduced human efforts.

These two above are the advantages of the artificial intelligence technology. There are many more but only those two were listed here.

As said above, artificial intelligence is the branch of the computer science. This technology has a very bright future. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are very nice career options for the students.
