One of the few technologies today that blends science and technology and has become a big buzz word right now is artificial intelligence (AI). The world’s some of the brightest minds, including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, have stated that AI holds vast potential to transform all aspects of our lives.
3 years back, while announcing Cortana for Windows Phone, Joe Belfiore, the corporate vice president and manager for Windows Phone quoted that the “future of artificial intelligence will amplify and catalyze workflows”. This is almost happening in every area of the business world today. He had further added “we are just testing the surface of how AI can be used." A host of intelligent agents like Alexa, Cortana and Siri have already proved that they have capability to mimic real humans. So there is a big rush towards developing an application like them. So mobile app development companies India and artificial intelligence services companies are getting more works than they ever had. Business leaders say the actual capability of today’s artificial intelligence lies in improving efficiency and accuracy in our routine work. They say AI is to help humans do things better. They get these thoughts probably by seeing the upside of the technology. On the other hand, as with anything innovative, there are some snake-oil salesmen looking to take situational advantages in order to make some quick bucks, by spreading fear. Though their intention might have been different, physicist Stephen Hawking and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk holds the same thoughts on AI. Here I am not taking on their right to express thoughts about this futuristic technology, but we have to agree that their thoughts are causing many basic misconceptions and mistruths. However, before going to the core matter, let’s have a look into what is exactly AI: What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial intelligence is a technology that enables machines or software applications to behave intelligently like human, whereas machine learning is a field of computer science and subfield of artificial intelligence, used to teach machines to behave like humans. The way of training often involves supervised and unsupervised training; supervised training involves training with tagged data, while unsupervised training does mean machines train themselves from the past experiences. Machine learning works by finding patterns in data. Another cutting-edge technology in AI area is deep learning, which is a subset of machine learning and works on the principles of neural networks of the brain. Also, read: Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Let’s see now what misconceptions you shouldn’t get into the heart about AI: AI is going to replace all jobs It’s acceptable that AI and automation together is causing job loss. Similarly, there is no doubt that industrial revolution has positive effects on skilled workers. Some employers who are embracing AI are ready to hone the skills of low-skilled employees too to make them automation ready. AI and automation will replace only low-skilled and manual workers This is not true. Already AI-powered robots and machineries are getting done the tasks that could be done only by highly trained professionals like doctors. In healthcare, machine learning algorithms look into images such as x-rays and scans and find out early warning signs of disease if any that are challenging for doctors to get done. AI-powered machines can look into patients’ routines, technically complex procedures, and procedures that require human touch in the hospital environment. AI will quickly outperform human intelligence In fact, this is already prevalent. Just think about calculator on your mobile and your ability to calculate manually. For example, if you need to calculate 2567×3568, you may take nearly a minute, but the calculator? That already far outpaces us. But in creative thinking, emotional intelligence and strategic thinking, machines still have to go a long way. Natural language processing and natural language understanding are correlated technologies, which are being heavily used by AI companies to add emotional intelligence to AI machines. Conclusion: AI has already been a mainstream service in the business world. AI-powered contextually aware keyboards which could be used for recommending purchases and many more, and chatbots are gaining momentum in their development and use. In fact many top 10 mobile app development companies in Bangalore out there have widened their service portfolio leveraging trends. In case if you’re looking to develop a mobile app being an entrepreneur, it is the time you can think about and act immediately. Make sure you collaborate with a right AI service provider who positively impact the bottom line of your AI aspiration.

Mobile Apps have fairly ousted the website culture and the numbers speak for themselves. · In 2016, we had more than 149.3 billion app downloads worldwide. · As of March 2017, Google Play Store has more than 2 billion applications, and · Worldwide, we have more than 2 billion smartphone users worldwide. Subsequently, more and more mobile app development companies are finding new ways to improve the mobile app scenario. And the good news is, there have been some significant advancements in the field like Instant Apps, Voice Assistants, IoT, Hybrid Apps and more. In this blog, we will mainly talk about Hybrid Apps and how they are toppling Native Apps. What are Hybrid Apps A Hybrid App can described as a traditional web app fixed in the frame of a native app. It is a fusion of native mobile app development and web development as it involves a base code that can be used on all platforms. The base code is generally designed with the help of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and determines the functionality and interface of the app. Each Hybrid App uses Android System WebView, which is an application designed by Google LLC that provides an interactive frame to the Hybrid App and also partially allows the app to use hardware and applications of the phone. The core function of this ‘Android System WebView’ application is to enable the Hybrid App to use phone’s default browser (often Chrome) in order to become user-accessible. In the past few years, people have realized the limitations of Native Apps such as ever-expanding size, falling speed etc. Even from the developer’s point of view, cost of development, cost of maintenance etc., are discouraging businesses to create native mobile apps. This realization brought us to a better, more feasible option – Hybrid Apps. Here are some of the major reasons why a large number of users and developers prefer Hybrid Apps over Native Apps:
Ease of building It is quite obvious that program coding is less complicated in comparison with web coding. To build a Hybrid App, a skilled web developer would need only Apache Cordova (PhoneGap) Framework to code the app much faster than a native app. Also, a range of plug-ins provided by the JavaScript that can be used by developers to introduce unique features in the app. In a nutshell, building a Hybrid App is easier compared to Native App. Cross-platform compatibility Since Hybrid App comprise of a base code that is compatible with browsers, irrespective of the OS platform; Hybrid App are popular among developers simply because unlike Native apps, Hybrid Apps need not be tested against different phone models and platform. The only major compatibility-test required for Hybrid Apps is that with the WebView. User Experience Developers understand the importance of user experience and this is also one of the major factors why they route for Hybrid Apps. Because the one and only interface in case of Hybrid Apps is the phone browser; users who prefer uniformity in design do like to use Hybrid Apps. However, in this case, people are still not used to the simplicity of Hybrid Apps, especially when Native Apps offer exclusive interface for each apps. So why would people migrate to Hybrid Apps then? Check out the next pointer to find out. Storage Hybrid Apps are there when you need them. They live in your browser and leave as soon as you swipe them away; they do collect a small of data though. Native Apps on the other hand, keep devouring on your phone’s internal storage until there is none left. Unfortunately, android fills up quite fast, and fortunately Hybrid Apps have largely solved this problem. No Updates needed Native Apps need to be updated from time to time, or you may miss out on certain features. Well and good. But what buggers off most users is having to update the app for minor security updates or primitive feature they can hardly notice. This is not the case when it comes to Hybrid Apps, until the update released is a major one. In conclusion, Hybrid Apps are expected to take over the mobile app development India market in coming years. However, another a huge faction of users still prefer the native app interface because it is more customized and feature-rich in comparison to Hybrid Apps. So, it would be fair to say the future of Hybrid Apps is largely in hands of what 2018 has in store for them. Need a cost-efficient Hybrid App for your business?
