The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving. As human mind has evolved, artificial intelligence has also evolved from doing simple computation to fully automation of various tasks such as speech recognition, facial detection and recognition, financial prediction and other many more tasks that in the past were just an imagination but it's a reality to us today. AI can positively be impactful to Kenya's overall development in various ways as I am going to elaborate below. Health. In healthcare, artificial intelligence has already proved to be a game-changer, improving every part of the industry. Artificial intelligence is currently being applied to a wide range of healthcare services, such as data mining for identifying patterns and carrying out the more accurate diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, medical imaging, medical management, drug discovery and robotic surgery. Healthcare has suffered from inefficient processes and skyrocketing medical costs for so long in Kenya. AI can reduce the number of workers required in the hospitals by having AI-enabled robots and systems that can assist doctors free up their schedules, reduce time and cost by streamlining various hospital processes. For example, the IBM Watson (an AI tool) which functions like a human doctor can analyze patient's medical record to identify potential treatment. Similarly, a platform like Artificial Intelligence for Drug Discovery (AIDD), developed by the biopharma company Numedii can be used in Kenya to leverage big data and AI to detect the link between the various common diseases in the country and the drugs at the system level. Agriculture. Agriculture is the backbone of our country's economy and a major source of income in many households. As the country's population continuous to grow, the land becomes scarcer and people now needs to become more efficient and creative about the land use. To address this challenge AI technologies are the answer, AI can help in pest control, soil monitoring, monitoring plants growth, organize data for farmers, help with workload, and improve a wide range of agricultural-related tasks in the entire food supply chain ecosystem. Organizations are using automation and robotics to help farmers find more efficient ways to protect their crops from weeds. Blue River Technology has developed a robot called See and Spray which uses computer vision technologies like object detection to monitor and precisely spray weedicide on cotton plants. Through image recognition a Berlin-based agricultural technology start-up called PEAT,
