Arti cial intelligence (AI) has been used in applications to alleviate certain problems throughout
Economic, social and agricultural challenges
AI for good is an ITU initiative supporting
institutions employing AI to tackle some of the
world's greatest economic and social challenges.
For example, the University of Southern California
launched the Centre for Arti cial Intelligence in
Society, with the goal of using AI to address
problems such as homelessness. At Stanford,
researchers use AI to analyse satellite images to
identify high poverty areas. In agriculture, AI has
helped farmers identify areas that need irrigation,
fertilisation or pesticide treatments, increasing
yield. Agronomists use AI to conduct research and
development. AI has been used to predict the
ripening time for crops such as tomatoes, monitor
soil moisture, operate agricultural robots, conduct
predictive analysis, classify livestock pig call
emotions, automate greenhouses, detect diseases
and pests, and save water.

industry and academia. AI, like electricity or computers, is a general purpose technology that has a
multitude of applications. Its has been used in elds of language translation, image recognition etc.

A search engine is a software system designed to carry out web searches. They search the
world wide web in a systematic way for particular information speci ed in a textual web
search query. The search results are generally presented in a line of results, often referred to
as search engine result pages (SERPs). The information may be a mix of links to web pages,
images, videos, infographics, articles, research papers and other types of les. Some search
engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. They maintain
information be running algorithm. Data that can’t be indexed falls under deep web.
VIRT UAL AS SI STAN T S
An intelligent virtual assistant (IVA) or intelligent personal assistant (IPA) is a software
agent that can perform tasks or services for an individual based on commands or
questions. The term "chat-box" is sometimes used to refer to virtual assistants generally or
speci cally accessed by online chat. In some cases, online chat programs are exclusively
for entertainment purposes. Some virtual assistants are able to interpret human speech
and respond via synthesised voices. Users can ask their assistants questions, control home
automation devices and media playback via voice, and manage other basic tasks.

A facial recognition system is a technology capable of matching a human face from a
digital image or a video frame against a database of faces, typically employed to
authenticate users through ID veri cation services, works by pinpointing and measuring
facial features from a given image. Automatic image annotation (also known as automatic
image tagging or linguistic indexing) is the process by which a computer system
automatically assigns metadata in the form of captioning or keywords to a digital image.
This application of computer vision techniques is used in image retrieval systems

 Trading & investment
Algorithmic trading involves the use of AI
systems to make trading decisions at
speeds orders of magnitude greater than
any human is capable of, making millions
of trades in a day without human
intervention. Such high-frequency trading
represents is a fast-growing sector. Many
banks, funds, and proprietary trading
rms now have entire portfolios that are
AI-managed. Automated trading systems
are typically used by large institutional
investors, but include smaller rms trading
with their own AI systems. Large nancial
institutions use AI to assist with their
investment practices. BlackRock's AI
engine, Aladdin, is used both within the
company and by clients to help with
investment decisions. Its functions
includes the use of natural language
processing to analyse text such as news,
broker reports, and social media feeds. It
then gauges the sentiment on the
companies mentioned and assigns a
score. Banks such as UBS and Deutsche
Bank use SQREEM (Sequential Quantum
Reduction and Extraction Model) to mine
data to develop consumer pro les and
match them with wealth management
products.

CYBER E DUCATION
SECURITY
Cyber security companies are adopting
neural networks, machine learning, and
natural language processing to improve
their systems.
Applications of AI in cyber security:
• Network protection: Machine learning
improves intrusion detection systems
by broadening the search beyond
previously identi ed threats.
• Endpoint protection: Attacks such as
