As the world becomes more reliant on technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more prevalent in various industries. Writing is no exception, with AI writing assistants becoming increasingly popular among writers, bloggers, and content creators. In this blog, we'll explore five AI writing assistants that can help improve your writing productivity and quality. Grammarly is one of the most popular AI writing assistants available today. It is an all-in-one writing tool that checks your grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. Grammarly has a free version and a premium version, with the latter offering more advanced features such as plagiarism detection, genre-specific writing style checks, and a readability score.

Artificial intelligence is making the process of designing, developing, and deploying software faster, better, and cheaper. It's not that programmers are being replaced by robots--rather, AI-powered tools are making project managers, business analysts, software coders, and testers more productive and more effective, enabling them to produce higher-quality software faster at lower cost. AI may become a key factor in meeting rising demand for custom software. Developing and deploying custom software is a critical element of how many companies innovate,5 with top-performing organizations developing many of their most important software solutions in-house.6 And the market for custom software development services is large: around US$47 billion in 2018 and climbing.7

A*STAR researchers have developed an AI chip design platform that has the potential to transform the multibillion-dollar global integrated circuit (IC) design industry by accelerating design optimisation, reducing IC design turnaround time, and improving productivity significantly by twofold. The traditional way of designing integrated circuits is a complicated process that requires experienced engineers with domain knowledge. It is a manual, laborious process where designers rely on trial-and-error to achieve their design goals, slowing down productivity in the process. As technology advances, the complexity of chip design is ever increasing. To combat these challenges, A*STAR's Smart IC Design with Learning Enablement (SMILE) is an AI platform that uses machine learning to automate these complex processes.
