The 20 most puzzling questions in modern life revealed - so do YOU know the answers?
What is an NFT? (34%) Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are generally digital art pieces or music that can be bought or traded online. These are unique computer files encrypted with an artist's signature. As a result, they cannot be replicated, acting as a digital certificate of ownership and authenticity. In other words, buying an NFT is almost like the more traditional purchasing of fine art - except in a digital form. Artists can sell pieces that may be tricky to advertise otherwise, such as digital stickers.
Is modern life ruining our powers of concentration?
How does it feel inside your head? Maybe you're daydreaming, allowing your mind to wander. Or maybe it feels sharp and alert. Maybe your thoughts are forging freely ahead, a sign that you have achieved the fabled state of "flow". More likely, however, your brain feels like a browser with too many tabs open.
The promise of machine learning democratisation
Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) were once concepts relegated to only the most optimistic observers, much like self-driving electric vehicles and smartphones once were. But if it isn't obvious, the times have changed. Today, ML and AI--along with the immensely powerful data collection and analytics tools that power those processes--are a mainstay of modern life. Every day, people interact with products and services powered by some of the world's most ground-breaking technology. In the financial sector specifically, ML and AI present an enormous opportunity to institutions to revolutionise their businesses and generate both top- and bottom-line results.
5 ways that AI is used in Modern Life - GetOppos.com
Artificial Intelligence is slowly becoming the driving force behind much of the technology innovation of the 21st Century. Almost every industry is trying to find ways to use AI to supplement or even replace the human workforce. The processing power of AI and its consistent availability makes it a very valuable resource for many companies. Video Games: Video games hold one of the most advanced and practical AIs that are used at scale. Most video games allow you the ability to play against AI players, which are machines that can mimic and compete with real-life players.
Utilizing AI to improve mass transit
Of all the ways AI is expected to improve modern life, perhaps none is more intriguing than its impact on mass transit. The pandemic will not last forever. So, at some point, people around the world will once again need to move from place to place quickly, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost. In most cities, however, mass transit systems like subways, buses, and planes already struggle to keep up with rider levels, resulting in gridlock, accidents, and dissatisfied consumers. But since these are mostly problems of logistics, and logistics thrive on data analysis, AI stands ready to provide dramatic improvements to our mobility. Park City, Utah, for example, recently became the 500th city to implement a platform called Optibus.
A tax on AI could help to reduce inequality
As thousands of workers commence working from home due to Coronavirus, the Internet is awash with memes about the tempting distractions of YouTube. The artificial intelligence used by YouTube to continually serve relevant distractions is a modern shoulder devil for the home worker. Baby Shark has nearly 4.8 billion views on YouTube. In 2011 Google revealed that streaming 1-minute of video on YouTube consumes 0.0002 KwH of energy. That means that so far, people watching the 136-second-long Baby Shark video have collectively consumed about 2,112,000 KwH of energy. To give that context, in 2019 the average UK home consumed 3,100 KwH of electricity.
