[[File:Restoration using Artificial intelligence.jpg|thumb|Image restoration]]
AI applications analyze media content such as movies, TV programs, advertisement videos or [[user-generated content]]. The solutions often involve [[computer vision]].

Typical scenarios include the analysis of images using [[object recognition]] or face recognition techniques, or the [[video content analysis|analysis of video]] for scene recognizing scenes, objects or faces. AI-based media analysis can facilitate media search, the creation of descriptive keywords for content, content policy monitoring (such as verifying the suitability of content for a particular TV viewing time), [[speech recognition|speech to text]] for archival or other purposes, and the detection of logos, products or celebrity faces for ad placement.

TALESPIN made up stories similar to the [[Aesop's Fables|fables of Aesop]]. The program started with a set of characters who wanted to achieve certain goals. The story narrated their attempts to satisfy these goals.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}} Mark Riedl and Vadim Bulitko asserted that the essence of storytelling was experience management, or "how to balance the need for a coherent story progression with user agency, which is often at odds".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Riedl |first1=Mark Owen |last2=Bulitko |first2=Vadim |title=Interactive Narrative: An Intelligent Systems Approach |journal=[[AI Magazine]] |date=6 December 2012 |volume=34 |issue=1 |pages=67 |doi=10.1609/aimag.v34i1.2449 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

While AI storytelling focuses on story generation (character and plot), story communication also received attention. In 2002, researchers developed an architectural framework for narrative prose generation. They faithfully reproduced text variety and complexity on stories such as [[Little Red Riding Hood]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Callaway |first1=Charles B. |last2=Lester |first2=James C. |title=Narrative prose generation |journal=Artificial Intelligence |date=August 2002 |volume=139 |issue=2 |pages=213–252 |doi=10.1016/S0004-3702(02)00230-8 |doi-access=free }}</ref> In 2016, a Japanese AI co-wrote a short story and almost won a literary prize.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/japanese-ai-writes-novel-passes-first-round-nationanl-literary-prize/|title=A Japanese AI program just wrote a short novel, and it almost won a literary prize|date=23 March 2016|access-date=18 November 2016|language=en-US|newspaper=Digital Trends}}</ref>

Literary authors are also exploring uses of AI. An example is [[David Jhave Johnston]]'s work ''[[ReRites]]'' (2017–2019), where the poet created a daily rite of editing the poetic output of a neural network to create a series of performances and publications.

UOL in Brazil expanded the use of AI in its writing. Rather than just generating news stories, they programmed the AI to include commonly searched words on [[Google Insights for Search|Google]].<ref name="Galily 47–51"/>

[[El País|El Pais]], a Spanish news site that covers many things including sports, allows users to make comments on each news article. They use the [[Jigsaw (company)|Perspective API]] to moderate these comments and if the software deems a comment to contain toxic language, the commenter must modify it in order to publish it.<ref name="Galily 47–51"/>

A local Dutch media group used AI to create automatic coverage of amateur soccer, set to cover 60,000 games in just a single season. NDC partnered with United Robots to create this algorithm and cover what would have never been possible before without an extremely large team.<ref name="Galily 47–51"/>

Lede AI has been used in 2023 to take scores from [[high school football]] games to generate stories automatically for the local newspaper. This was met with significant criticism from readers for the very robotic diction that was published. With some descriptions of games being a "close encounter of the athletic kind," readers were not pleased and let the publishing company, [[Gannett]], know on social media. Gannett has since halted their used of Lede AI until they come up with a solution for what they call an experiment.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Wu |first=Daniel |date=2023-08-31 |title=Gannett halts AI-written sports recaps after readers mocked the stories |language=en-US |newspaper=Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/31/gannett-ai-written-stories-high-school-sports/ |access-date=2023-10-31 }}</ref>

==== Art analysis ====
In addition to the creation of original art, research methods that utilize AI have been generated to quantitatively analyze digital art collections.

=== Trading and investment ===
[[Algorithmic trading]] involves using AI systems to make trading decisions at speeds of magnitude greater than any human is capable of, making millions of trades in a day without human intervention. Such [[high-frequency trading]] represents a fast-growing sector. Many banks, funds, and proprietary trading firms now have AI-managed portfolios. [[Automated trading system]]s are typically used by large institutional investors but include smaller firms trading with their own AI systems.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/algorithmictrading.asp|title=Algorithmic Trading|date=18 May 2005|website=Investopedia}}</ref>

Large financial institutions use AI to assist with their investment practices. [[BlackRock]]'s AI engine, [[Aladdin (BlackRock)|Aladdin]], is used both within the company and by clients to help with investment decisions. Its functions include the use of [[natural language processing]] to analyze text such as news, broker reports, and social media feeds. It then gauges the sentiment on the companies mentioned and assigns a score. Banks such as [[UBS tax evasion controversies|UBS]] and [[Deutsche Bank]] use SQREEM (Sequential Quantum Reduction and Extraction Model) to mine data to develop consumer profiles and match them with [[wealth management]] products.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.americanbanker.com/news/beyond-robo-advisers-how-ai-could-rewire-wealth-management|title=Beyond Robo-Advisers: How AI Could Rewire Wealth Management|date=5 January 2017}}</ref>

=== History ===
In the 1980s, AI started to become prominent in finance as [[expert systems]] were commercialized. For example, Dupont created 100 expert systems, which helped them to save almost $10 million per year.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1016/B978-012443880-4/50045-4 |chapter=History and applications |title=Expert Systems |year=2002 |last1=Durkin |first1=J. |volume=1 |pages=1–22 |isbn=978-0-12-443880-4 }}</ref> One of the first systems was the Pro-trader expert system that predicted the 87-point drop in the [[Dow Jones Industrial Average]] in 1986. "The major junctions of the system were to monitor premiums in the market, determine the optimum investment strategy, execute transactions when appropriate and modify the knowledge base through a learning mechanism."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Chen |first1=K.C. |last2=Liang |first2=Ting-peng |title=Protrader: An Expert System for Program Trading |journal=Managerial Finance |date=May 1989 |volume=15 |issue=5 |pages=1–6 |doi=10.1108/eb013623 }}</ref>

One of the first expert systems to help with financial plans was PlanPowerm and Client Profiling System, created by Applied Expert Systems (APEX). It was launched in 1986. It helped create personal financial plans for people.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Nielson |first1=Norma |last2=Brown |first2=Carol E. |last3=Phillips |first3=Mary Ellen |title=Expert Systems for Personal Financial Planning |journal=Journal of Financial Planning |date=July 1990 |pages=137–143 |doi=10.11575/PRISM/33995 |hdl=1880/48295 }}</ref>

In the 1990s, AI was applied to [[Artificial intelligence in fraud detection|fraud detection]]. In 1993, FinCEN Artificial Intelligence System (FAIS) was launched. It was able to review over 200,000 transactions per week, and over two years, it helped identify 400 potential cases of [[money laundering]] equal to $1 billion.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Senator|first1=Ted E.|last2=Goldberg|first2=Henry G.|last3=Wooton|first3=Jerry|last4=Cottini|first4=Matthew A.|last5=Khan|first5=A.F.

== Language processing ==

=== Language translation ===
{{Main|Machine translation}}

Speech translation technology attempts to convert one language's spoken words into another language. This potentially reduces language barriers in global commerce and cross-cultural exchange, enabling speakers of various languages to communicate with one another.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Nakamura |first=Satoshi |date=2009 |title=Overcoming the language barrier with speech translation technology |journal=Science & Technology Trends Quarterly Review |volume= |issue=31 |pages=35–48 |id={{CORE output|236667511}} }}</ref>

Meaning is conveyed not only by text, but also through usage and context (see [[semantics]] and [[pragmatics]]). As a result, the two primary categorization approaches for machine translations are [[statistical machine translation]] (SMT) and [[neural machine translation]]s (NMTs). The old method of performing translation was to use statistical methodology to forecast the best probable output with specific algorithms. However, with NMT, the approach employs dynamic algorithms to achieve better translations based on context.<ref>{{Cite book |last=K. Mandal, G. S. Pradeep Ghantasala, Firoz Khan, R. Sathiyaraj, B.

===== Biological computing in AI and as AI =====
Additionally, [[biological computing|biological computers]], even if both artificial and highly intelligent, are typically distinguishable from synthetic, predominantly silicon-based, computers.  The two technologies could, however, be combined and used for the design of either. Moreover, many tasks may be poorly carried out by AI even if it uses algorithms that are transparent, understood, bias-free, apparently effective and goal-aligned in addition to having trained data sets that are sufficiently large and [[data cleansing|cleansed]].  This may occur, for instance, when the underlying data, available metrics, [[value (ethics)|values]] or training methods are incorrect, flawed or used inappropriately. [[Computer-aided]] is a phrase used to describe human activities that make use of computing as tool in more comprehensive activities and systems such as AI for narrow tasks or making use of such without substantially relying on its results (see also: [[human-in-the-loop]]).{{citation needed|date=May 2022}} One study described the biological component as a limitation of AI stating that "as long as the biological system cannot be understood, formalized, and imitated, we will not be able to develop technologies that can mimic it" and that, even if it were understood, this does not necessarily mean there will be "a technological solution to imitate natural intelligence".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Tugui |first1=Alexandru |last2=Danciulescu |first2=Daniela |last3=Subtirelu |first3=Mihaela-Simona |title=The Biological as a Double Limit for Artificial Intelligence: Review and Futuristic Debate |journal=International Journal of Computers Communications & Control |date=14 April 2019 |volume=14 |issue=2 |pages=253–271 |doi=10.15837/ijccc.2019.2.3536 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Technologies that integrate biology and AI include [[biorobotics]].

* Network protection: Machine learning improves [[intrusion detection system]]s by broadening the search beyond previously identified threats.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kocher |first1=Geeta |last2=Kumar |first2=Gulshan |title=Machine learning and deep learning methods for intrusion detection systems: recent developments and challenges |journal=Soft Computing |date=August 2021 |volume=25 |issue=15 |pages=9731–9763 |doi=10.1007/s00500-021-05893-0 }}</ref>
* Endpoint protection: Attacks such as [[ransomware]] can be thwarted by learning typical malware behaviors.
** AI-related cyber security application cases vary in both benefit and complexity. Security features such as Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) and Extended Endpoint Detection and Response (XDR) offer significant benefits for businesses, but require significant integration and adaptation efforts.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kant |first1=Daniel |last2=Johannsen |first2=Andreas |title=Evaluation of AI-based use cases for enhancing the cyber security defense of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) |journal=Electronic Imaging |date=16 January 2022 |volume=34 |issue=3 |pages=387–1–387–8 |doi=10.2352/EI.2022.34.3.MOBMU-387 }}</ref>
* Application security: can help counterattacks such as [[server-side request forgery]], [[SQL injection]], [[cross-site scripting]], and [[Distributed-denial-of-service|distributed denial-of-service]].
** AI technology can also be utilized to improve system security and safeguard our privacy. Randrianasolo (2012) suggested a security system based on artificial intelligence that can recognize intrusions and adapt to perform better.<ref>{{cite thesis |last=Randrianasolo |first=Arisoa |title=Artificial intelligence in computer security: Detection, temporary repair and defense |date=2012 |page=vii |hdl=2346/45196 |hdl-access=free}}</ref> In order to improve cloud computing security, Sahil (2015) created a user profile system for the cloud environment with AI techniques.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1109/ICACEA.2015.7164645 |chapter=Artificial intelligence for designing user profiling system for cloud computing security: Experiment |title=2015 International Conference on Advances in Computer Engineering and Applications |date=2015 |last1=Sahil |last2=Sood |first2=Sandeep |last3=Mehmi |first3=Sandeep |last4=Dogra |first4=Shikha |pages=51–58 |isbn=978-1-4673-6911-4 }}</ref>

AI in transport is expected to provide safe, efficient, and reliable transportation while minimizing the impact on the environment and communities. The major development challenge is the complexity of transportation systems that involves independent components and parties, with potentially conflicting objectives.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.17226/23208 |title=Artificial Intelligence in Transportation: Information for Application |date=2007 |isbn=978-0-309-42929-0 }}{{page needed|date=July 2021}}</ref>

AI-based [[fuzzy logic]] controllers operate [[Transmission (mechanics)|gearboxes]]. For example, the 2006 [[Audi TT]], [[Volkswagen Touareg|VW Touareg]] {{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} and [[Volkswagen Transporter (T5)|VW Caravell]] feature the DSP transmission. A number of Škoda variants ([[Škoda Fabia]]) include a fuzzy logic-based controller.

====Traffic management====
AI has been used to optimize traffic management, which reduces wait times, energy use, and emissions by as much as 25 percent.<ref>{{Cite book|publisher=National Science and Technology Council |title=Preparing for the future of artificial intelligence|oclc=965620122}}</ref>

[[Smart traffic light]]s have been developed at [[Carnegie Mellon University|Carnegie Mellon]] since 2009.  Professor Stephen Smith has started a company since then [[Scalable Urban Traffic Control|Surtrac]] that has installed smart traffic control systems in 22 cities.  It costs about $20,000 per intersection to install. Drive time has been reduced by 25% and traffic jam waiting time has been reduced by 40% at the intersections it has been installed.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/civil/smart-traffic-lights-news.htm | title=Going Nowhere Fast?

=== Military ===
The [[Royal Australian Air Force|Royal Australian Air]] Force (RAAF) [[Air and Space Operations Center|Air Operations Division]] (AOD) uses AI for [[expert systems]]. AIs operate as surrogate operators for combat and training simulators, mission management aids, support systems for tactical decision making, and post processing of the simulator data into symbolic summaries.<ref>{{Cite news|date=29 June 2016|title=AI bests Air Force combat tactics experts in simulated dogfights|work=[[Ars Technica]]|url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/06/ai-bests-air-force-combat-tactics-experts-in-simulated-dogfights/}}</ref>

Aircraft simulators use AI for training aviators. Flight conditions can be simulated that allow pilots to make mistakes without risking themselves or expensive aircraft. Air combat can also be simulated.

AI can also be used to operate planes analogously to their control of ground vehicles. Autonomous drones can fly independently or in [[Swarm robotics|swarms]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Jones |first1=Randolph M. |last2=Laird |first2=John E. |last3=Nielsen |first3=Paul E. |last4=Coulter |first4=Karen J. |last5=Kenny |first5=Patrick |last6=Koss |first6=Frank V. |title=Automated Intelligent Pilots for Combat Flight Simulation |journal=AI Magazine |date=15 March 1999 |volume=20 |issue=1 |pages=27 |doi=10.1609/aimag.v20i1.1438 }}</ref>

AOD uses the Interactive Fault Diagnosis and Isolation System, or IFDIS, which is a rule-based expert system using information from [[TF-30]] documents and expert advice from mechanics that work on the TF-30. This system was designed to be used for the development of the TF-30 for the [[F-111C]]. The system replaced specialized workers. The system allowed regular workers to communicate with the system and avoid mistakes, miscalculations, or having to speak to one of the specialized workers.

[[Speech recognition]] allows traffic controllers to give verbal directions to drones.

Artificial intelligence supported design of aircraft,<ref>[http://www.kbs.twi.tudelft.nl/Research/Projects/AIDA/ AIDA Homepage]. Kbs.twi.tudelft.nl (17 April 1997). Retrieved 21 July 2013.</ref> or AIDA, is used to help designers in the process of creating conceptual designs of aircraft. This program allows the designers to focus more on the design itself and less on the design process. The software also allows the user to focus less on the software tools. The AIDA uses rule-based systems to compute its data. This is a diagram of the arrangement of the AIDA modules. Although simple, the program is proving effective.
