Real time challenges that needs to be overcome while implementing big data

It’s a difficult approach when it comes to the adoption of analytics facing real time challenges. It’s tough to analyze big data and assemble it in a single row. There are times when the minutes and seconds count are very crucial and no delays can be accepted. With the demand of more precision and accuracy we just cannot avoid the risk presence while accessing the data. But real time analytics demand much of our efforts and hard work to overcome the challenges and get that precision.

Contribution of AI: The Augmented Reality Microscope (ARM)

Artificial Intelligence has spread to almost all major and minor sectors and has been growing exponentially over the past few years. With the medical breakthrough in 2017 of AI identifying arrhythmia, researchers have developed microscopes for real-time diagnosis of cancer in 2018. It involved remodelling a standard microscope with deep neural networks integrating augmented reality giving a tool what is termed as the Augmented Reality Microscope. In such a microscope, a neural network is integrated for detection of tumor once the biopsy is conducted. Here, the eyepiece plays the role of the eye, AR is the 3-D image captured (which is the Field of View) and the role of the brain is played by the network. The output of the network is in the form of a heatmap which depicts the probability of cancer at each pixel location. The ARM has to its name a number of benefits like low equipment cost, low latency and also keeps pace with semi-continuous movements of the slide thus improving the accuracy of quantitative tissue assessments. With this we are ARM-ed well to fight against the unfortunate and sometimes catastrophic disease called cancer.

Asia gears up to be the global AI hub

AI has made it completely impeccable, from archaic development to cutting-edge technologies, reaching out to every niche possible, bearing the embryo of a heated competition between China and the US to revolutionize; the two major hubs having AI development in boon. Among the others following in this race include Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. Vietnam has successfully implemented a crop intelligence system named Sero, that enables farmers to identify sick crops. Once enhanced further, Sero would assist in diagnosis and possible future treatments. An Indonesian telecom operator, Telkomsel, employed only chatbots to deal with clients and answer most of their queries. Sooner or later AI is digging deep roots in the industry although it takes some time for AI developers to present the desired results to the companies.

Artificial Intelligence in Religion

With machine learning making a huge leap of progress, it is being debated whether Artificial Intelligence and religion are compatible or not. Humans have been worshipping non-human entities from time immemorial and man-made robots would be superior to their creators. Religious modules have been entwined with technology to bear daily prayer apps and robot priest as the fruits. For example, the human robot named Peppa, an invention of Japan, could perform funeral entailing a cheaper cost than a human priest. Research at Faraday Institute of Science and Technology reported a strong correlation to exist between technology and religion which basically involved three stages-rejection, adoption and adaption. Down the lane, technology would become a ubiquitous part of all religion.  With a more objective analysis, AI provides a consolidated nutshell of all religious dialects.
