1.) The cradle of artificial intelligence
The term “artificial intelligence” was coined at a workshop held as part of a research project on artificial intelligence at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire in 1956. Today, the Dartmouth Conference is considered the inaugural meeting for research into artificial intelligence.
2.) The great unknown
Big data is a concept that most Germans know nothing about. According to TNS Infratest, 74 percent have never heard of it, while only 9 percent feel able to offer an explanation of what the phrase means. Big data refers to huge amount of data, which is captured, analyzed, and processed. It is the basis for artificial intelligence.
3.) Learning from millions of images
Deep learning is an aspect of machine learning that relies on a multi-layered neural network inside a computer, with a structure reminiscent of the human brain. While a small child needs only experience a few cats to then recognize all cats as such, the computer needs to see millions of cat pictures before it can recognize a cat.
4.) Smart assistants
The market research organization Gartner predicts that by 2024, some 10 percent of activities with the potential to endanger human lives will be performed by smart systems. One example is assistance systems in vehicles. These will enable future vehicles to communicate more effectively, detect their surroundings more accurately, process data more rapidly – and eventually drive completely autonomously.
5.) As clever as a human being
Experts are expecting to create an artificial intelligence that is on a par with human intelligence before the end of this century.
6.) Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence
In the period to 2021, Bosch will invest some 300 million euros in the Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence, with around 100 experts researching artificial intelligence at three locations (Bengaluru, Palo Alto, and Renningen).
7.) Future Bosch products will be intelligent
Ten years from now, scarcely any Bosch product will be conceivable without artificial intelligence. Within just five years, products featuring artificial intelligence are expected to account for 10 percent of Bosch sales.
