Researchers are doing experiments by virtual training of machines for cost reduction and time consumption in real world. The presence of mind in gadgets and machine is what we call as Artificial Intelligence (AI)”, Aditya said while talking to ummid.com.
“Our world revolves around this Artificial Intelligence, its presence in our day to day lives help us in all possible manners without we even noticing it. Consider digital assistance like SIRI and Alexa, they are the easiest way to get things done.
