Artificial Intelligence Makes a Web Development Breakthrough

By February 12, 2016web development

Siri, self-driving cars and autonomous search queries—these are just a few ways that artificial intelligence (AI) has been gradually diffused into our modern world. Existing primarily within the Internet and mobile apps, artificial intelligence has significantly reduced the amount of energy that we spend on menial mental tasks.

The Bloomberg Business stated that 2015 was a breakthrough year for the world of artificial intelligence and Web development. And with how quickly Web development breakthroughs are being produced, it’s not surprising. Here’s a look at how the game is changing.

How Google RankBrain Handles New Search Queries

Artificial intelligence is changing the landscape of Web development as we know it—with Google’s RankBrain being one of the major game changers. Google RankBrain is a machine-learning artificial intelligence system that helps Google decipher and calculate search results with the intention of providing more relevant, personalized search results.

When Google BrainRank identifies a word or phrase that it’s not familiar with, it’s programmed to make an educated guess regarding what words or phrases are similar, and to consequently filter the search results.

By using artificial intelligence, Google RankBrain introduces an immense amount of language into mathematical entities called vectors, allowing Google to easily handle new search queries that it has never seen before. This is just one improvement in the vast landscape of how artificial intelligence is gradually becoming a staple within the Web development community.

Theoretically, Apps Will Update Themselves

The artificial intelligence spectrum has exploded, partially due to the new learning algorithms that are simultaneously being developed and improved upon more quickly than ever before.  In theory, as the technology behind artificial intelligence continues to evolve, apps will eventually be able to detect and implement updates on their own. This will allow the tech workforce to render even more advanced artificial intelligence processes.

Apple, Facebook and Google Incorporating AI

The recent growth of artificial intelligence comes down to three basic components: its affordability, practicality and quick evolvement within a short period of time. And with key players such as Apple, Facebook and Google incorporating AI into their most recent slew of consumer products, the landscape will only continue to grow and change substantially within the next few years.
