Security software on your PC is artificially intelligent


It may be hard to imagine, but a form of artificial intelligence is making decisions for you on your computer or smart phone while you are reading this text. For instance, Bitdefender communicates with a data-center where artificial intelligence engages complex mathematical algorithms to process huge amounts of data and filter malicious files from clean ones.


These technologies make use of machine learning, decision trees, neural networks, and Boltzmann algorithms, analyze enormous volumes of data, evaluate file characteristics to separate malicious and clean software or behavior, make associations and comparisons without human intervention. And, on top of that, artificial intelligence supervises other artificial intelligence implementations to make sure that everything works as planned. Welcome to the future!
