We don’t keep you long in the pants pocket with us or you have in the living room of millions of German citizens already have every day contact to artificial intelligence, if only by Siri in the phone or the voice assistant, Alexa. But the uncertainty is large: The horror scenario of the “machines take over the world”, to the fear for jobs. At the same time, artificial intelligence in almost all areas of life, is rapidly gaining in importance. Above all, the industry has high hopes in a market that – at least in Germany – often still in its infancy.

“key technology” ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:

the AI is able to resolve an Umbrella term for a variety of machines and programs, which learn similar to how people self-employed, judgments and problems. Computer learning by evaluating massive amounts of data. Sophisticated Algorithms can recognize in the images, text or spoken language patterns, on the basis of these events, predictions, and decisions. As you can see, in the meantime, and even emotions in human faces, emotions, compassion, and genuine creativity, but not (yet) capable of.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EVERYDAY life:

learning systems are not put in the speech recognition of Apple and Amazon. There is a Google wizard, the – can clearly book more authentic than Siri, and Alexa – hairdresser appointments. Also, that mobile phones photos according to certain characteristics display about all of the cars, or palms, or to certain persons – is Artificial intelligence. In the lawn mower or vacuum cleaner robots, you is installed also. In modern cars the Navigation, telephone and air-conditioning thanks to KI about the language, and partly even by Gestures, also in Parking and lane-keeping assistant is Artificial intelligence.

AI IN BUSINESS AND RESEARCH:

In medicine is to support AI in the early detection of cancer, and the robot perform parts of operations are now significantly more precise than a surgeon. The German research center for Artificial intelligence is working on Exoskeletten, which could be used in inaccessible places such as deep sea or outer space, but also facilitate the nurses, the physically demanding work.

The learning Algorithms are to conquer the financial market and the stock selection of the Fund’s control. In the case of agriculture, the scientists are working on systems that can detect whether or not potatoes are attacked by diseases – use of fungicides can be reduced significantly. Well-known area of application is To Autonomous. AI does not have to recognize only stop signs, but risks can be foreseen – for example, anticipating that a Ball that rolls out between parked cars on the street, could be a child running behind.

GERMANY WANTS to CATCH up:

a World leader in the AI, the US and China, with companies such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Alibaba or Huawei. “You alone invest billions every year in KI”, says the President of the digital Association Bitkom, Achim Berg. Germany, in the basis of research for many years the top in the world. “But it evolved to a few products.” Industry President Dieter Kempf looks nevertheless a good starting position: “If we in Germany are able to combine our industry Know-how with AI Know-how, we are securing an excellent competitive position.”

THE STRATEGY of THE Federal GOVERNMENT:

The Federal government wants to support research and application of Artificial intelligence by 2025, with three billion euros, and based on the assumption that business, science, and countries are investing at least as much. Among other things, a network of at least twelve networked research centres should be established. At the universities, an additional 100 chairs to be set up. Medium-sized enterprises will be supported in testing. In addition, more data should be able to learn to which AI systems.

the SECTORS IN WHICH KI is IMPORTANT

In almost all the sectors, say industry associations. KI will be important to be where data is collected and interpreted, this is true of almost the entire economy. Mountain says: “in the Future there will be hardly any products or services, the use of one or the other way, AI technology.” KI will the basis for the development of Autonomous cars, as well as for efficient logistics with optimal route planning. And in the production of AI systems are able to detect errors in components automatically.

WHAT is the MEANING of KI FOR JOBS:

you will Need in the future to take a Taxi or bus driver, when cars and buses driving autonomously? And what happens in the factories? The economy is trying to take Fears. Although the technical progress would, that some activities are eliminated and others are emerging, says Wansleben, the managing Director of the German chamber of Commerce and industry tags, Martin. DIHK-surveys indicated but the bottom stitch on no employment losses.

The demands on employees are increasing. “KI is life in our professional as well as in our private lives to move in,” says Berg. “Artificial intelligence will decrease in the foreseeable future, in most cases, anyone working completely, but to us in our work.”

WHEN IT is SO WIDELY used

To KI across the Board, it is likely to take. Only 20 percent of all German companies use KI, 30 percent are still in the development phase, the BDI. A representative of the Bitkom survey, two thirds of the citizens say that AI is no later than ten years from now, the society dramatically changed.
