 Artificial Intelligence: Understanding the Future of Smart Technology What Is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the behavior of systems to mimic the intelligent behavior of humans . These intelligent systems are able to learn from experience , adapt to new inputs, and perform human-like tasks like speech recognition, decision making, and language translation. Types of Artificial Intelligence There are several categories and classes of artificial intelligence systems by now: Types of AI Systems: 1. Narrow AI Weak AI (or known as Narrow AI) Designed to accomplish a narrow task. These might include virtual assistants such as Siri , recommendation algorithms on Netflix or spam filters on Gmail. 2.General AI General AI can comprehend, learn and apply intelligence to anything in the same way as a human. As of now, It’s still under construction, but big tech companies are certainly pouring money into this kind of futuristic technology. 3. Super AI We are talking...

In this era of Data, a research department is the epicenter of innovation, strategy, and intelligent decision-making in any company. In a university, and in corporations or government agencies, the importance of a structured research team is clear.

Key Functions of a Research Department


1. Data Collection and Analysis

2. Innovation and Development


R&D departments, particularly in tech and pharmaceutical companies, are where a research team focuses on coming up with new products, or making existing products better. This encompasses both academic research, feasibility studies, and product testing.

3. Academia and research writing/publishing


One of the factors may be differences between faculties; e.g. at most universities the research department help with both faculty and student research: They give grants and publish in scientific journals.

The Research function is a key driver in promoting innovation in the area of their activity, supporting strategic direction and being competitive in a dynamic environment. It is also not clear how, whether in the academic or the industrial setting, the investment in research can translate to a way to guarantee growth and development in the long term.
