Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one of the most debated topics of present
times as it is transforming nature in almost every aspect. The challenge is to decide
whether it will make the planet a better place to live or it will push the human race
towards disaster. The seed of AI was sown during the 1950s and continues to hold great
future potential. Different policies had been laid down by the government for the ethical
use of robots. The chapter gives a glimpse of AI policies in India. The chapter also
enumerates the correlation between natural intelligence and software through various
software languages like natural language processing, etc. It explains how this interaction
between robots and natural intelligence has brought about widespread application.
Robots can be used as scientists, nannies, pets, assist doctors in surgery, for cleaning,
to provide security, to be used in pharmacies for automated dispensing systems, act as a
virtual human body to predict how it will react to new therapeutic drugs, make drug
development and drug delivery faster, etc. The policies regarding these robots are made
so that they are not misused as their application is increasing day by day. This chapter
also enumerates a lot about future aspects of artificial intelligence in traditional medicine.
