Exploring AI Thinking Models and their Applications

Have you ever wondered how AI systems like Siri, or even self-driving cars make decisions? Yes, these AI systems indeed consume a vast amount of data contributing significantly to their decision-making process. However, the cherry on top is “thinking”. AI thinking models are emerging and changing how we interact with AI systems forever.

Several important materials influence the outcome of an AI model. Coincidentally, we have discussed some of them such as hyperparameters. Generally, AI models are trained with these materials depending on their function. However, AI thinking models are a few steps ahead even with the materials they have been trained on. They are faster, and have an overall better performance compared with non-thinking AI models.

Imagine living in a world where medical diagnoses are made faster than ever. As a bank customer, you don’t have to worry about the security of your assets because an AI thinking model protects your assets by detecting discrepancies in real-time. All these breakthroughs and more are possible with AI thinking models.

When we think of “AI thinking models” what is the first thing that comes to mind?
Reading this article will give you a comprehensive outlook on what AI thinking models are, how they work, and what our future will be like with these AI models.
Let’s take a deep dive!

What are AI thinking models?

AI thinking models are large language models (LLMs) that process information like a human brain. The way they process information is compared to the human brain due to the intricate nature of this information processing and the speed with which it does it. AI thinking models are also known as reasoning models and they learn, adapt, and evolve even outside the data accessible to them during their training.

They also have a different approach to problem-solving that is similar to typical artificial intelligence and the human brain. It is like combining the best of both worlds and providing responses in natural language.

In more detail, AI thinking models operate by approaching a problem strategically. They take a problem, break it down into smaller segments or steps, analyze it from different angles, and offer a solution. These steps might seem long but all these processes are happening faster than milliseconds. The response is nearly instantaneous.

The difference between AI thinking models and traditional models is as clear as night and day. Traditional AI models follow rigid instructions that have no room for analysis, prediction of outcomes, and improving decision-making processes over time.
Talking about AI thinking models alone might seem like something from a futuristic movie. Let us see the real-world applications of these models and industries where you will find them in action.

Practical applications of AI thinking models

AI thinking models are not as far-fetched as we might imagine. Their applications span across various industries we interact with daily. These include:

Healthcare

Have you ever had to wait for a diagnosis for weeks or even days? If you have, then you know how discomforting and mind-troubling it is. However, AI thinking models are now changing that narrative. Deep learning AI models can now detect diseases with up to 90% accuracy. In a recent study, AI-assisted radiologists could diagnose breast cancer more accurately than those without AI assistance.

The capabilities of AI thinking models don’t just end at diagnosis. They can treat diseases more accurately and recommend treatment plans for patients faster. Now, imagine going to the ER and getting an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. That would prevent a lot of pain and save lots of lives.

Additionally, gene modifications and diagnosis of diseases is a breakthrough in medicine. One such model paving the way for this is the Openfabric AI Genome Generator. This app takes a genome, creates an artificial version, and makes its components visual enough to work with. Using this, diseases can be treated right from the source of the mutation in the genome. As an AI thinking model, it provides information about the drug interaction and other risks of diseases that are unique to the individual’s genetic makeup.

Artificial intelligence has already begun transforming the health care system in many facilities globally. As such, its impact on health is seen quite evidently in those countries.

Education

Education, at the basic level, requires learning skills or information to solve a problem. Although the typical AI models we have are already doing a great job in education, there is always room for improvement. Luckily, AI reasoning models or thinking models are opening doors that were once closed.

Since these models are large language models they are perfect in education. They provide accurate answers and feedback regarding a particular subject matter in a much more human-like approach.

They can also simplify learning of complex subjects such as coding and provide more grounds for research in uncharted territories in medicine and engineering. The ultimate goal is better technological advancements for the human race.

Transportation

Already, companies are applying AI models to cars. What once felt like science fiction is now a reality with these self-driving cars. Companies are using AI thinking models to create vehicles that can navigate traffic with human intervention.

Traffic congestion is a leading cause of late appointments, work meetings, or even family gatherings. Let’s not even get started with how frustrating it feels to be stuck in traffic for hours. Then the cost on gas? Not so great either. In just three sentences, we have identified the problems AI reasoning models can solve in transportation. And there are so much more.

These models optimize travel routes in real-time, thereby minimizing the occurrence of traffic congestion significantly. Furthermore, autonomous vehicles greatly reduce road traffic accidents which saves millions of lives.

Business

Major business firms now use AI thinking models for daily tasks in their organizations. Businesses stay afloat by solving problems, but they also have their own problems. When a business’ problems cannot be resolved, it might be the beginning of the end for that business.

Let us start with the basic day-to-day of a business establishment. Document analysis!
Picture old movie scenes where the character is just overwhelmed by the volume of documents on their desk. With computers, most of these documents are on the computers. However, the amount of work needed to sort these documents has not changed even with new technology. Or has it?

Well, until AI thinking models have been fully integrated into our society we can’t say it has. You may be wondering how AI thinking models can assist with document analysis. It’s pretty straightforward actually. A typical example is Openfabric’s Chat with Document app.

This AI model uses LLM to give you specific information from a document, all you need to do is ask. It simplifies the working process and reduces the time for information retrieval from a document. Therefore, there is increased workplace productivity and availability of accurate and contextually rich information.

Already, business owners are adopting AI technology to grow and scale their businesses. At the end of the day, AI helps them achieve their goals in a set period of time. You can read more about this HERE.

The possibilities for AI thinking models cut across every industry and vertical. Already, great strides have been made but we believe that in the future, these models will break new ground in a lot of industries and Artificial Intelligence itself. Are you ready for this development? If not, let us see some heads up about the developments to expect with the full integration of AI thinking models.

The future of AI thinking models

We have been deceived into thinking that AI will replace human jobs. However, this is not the case. AI thinking models, as intelligent systems, usher in a new era of automation which will only not replace jobs but will create new job opportunities. The key is learning how to use these AI models to increase efficiency rather than working against it. Kindly check out this article to learn more.

Already, industries that have leveraged AI are one of the richest globally. AI isn’t just a trend, it is a tool for boosting the economy. The use of AI thinking models saves billions of dollars and makes billions of dollars every year. With AI thinking models, there is a reduced risk and all the decisions are well calculated due to the high level of accuracy it provides.
Countries are investing billions in developing AI thinking models. Mostly for control of the AI industry but also for the numerous benefits it already offers and the future it presents.

Conclusion

AI thinking models are reshaping the world and how we interact with it. Gradually, one industry at a time, these models will make our daily activities easier and faster. However, before we can fully enjoy this evolution, we must change the myth that AI models are here to replace humans. Rather, they are here to work with every one of us and enhance how we do tasks and get information. Therefore, only those who adapt and grow with it will stay ahead of the curve in their fields.
So, the next time you use an AI thinking model, you are already living in the future of AI, like the ones we see in sci-fi media. The important question is, how will you make the most of it?
