Title: The Advent of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Fuzzy Logic in the Fields of Robotics, Technology, Medicine and Finance
Abstract: 
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a major branch of computer science that concerns the development of intelligent machines or systems with the ability to think and work in a way that mimics humans. Machine learning (ML) is an application of AI that provides systems with the ability to automatically learn and improve its system through autonomous, unsupervised learning without being explicitly programmed to do so and with minimal human intervention. It focuses on the development of computer systems or programmes that can access data independently, use it to learn autonomously and continually improve its system. The rapid progress of AI and ML has led to the development of many systems and programmes in diverse areas such as medicine, robotics, construction, banking, finance, cyber security and computing technology. Fuzzy logic is a product that originated from the study of fuzzy sets that was introduced by Zadeh in ground-breaking paper on fuzzy sets. Fuzzy logic is a computational paradigm that has the ability to simultaneously handle numerical data and linguistic knowledge by programming computers to imitate human thinking and reasoning with the aim of increasing the efficiency of the decision making process, particularly when handling uncertain or vague data. The theory of fuzzy logic has led to the development of fuzzy inference systems (FISs) which generally refers to the process of feeding the computer a set of fuzzy IF-THEN rules which is then processed using fuzzy reasoning to produce the desired output to solve the given task. Here, the recent advances in the research on AI, ML and fuzzy logic will be discussed, with a special focus on the application of these approaches in the areas of robotics, technology, medicine and finance.
