Kuyaye kuthiwe ezimweni zobunzima kunethuba. Ezobuchwepheshe ngokungangabazeki zizoba ngomunye wabazohlomula yezinyathelo zakamuva zokulawula ezamenyezelwa nguMongameli waseNingizimu Afrika uCyril Ramaphosa zokunqanda ukusabalala kwe I-COVID-19 coronavirus.
Yize kube nezinkundla eziningi nezindatshana ezikhuluma ngesidingo sokuthi iNingizimu Afrika (i-SA) ingene kunguquko yesine yezimboni futhi isebenzise ubuhlakani bokufakelwa (i-AI) nobuchwepheshe, ukutholwa kuye kwahamba kancane ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukahlukene njengokwesaba okuhlobene nokulahleka kwemisebenzi nemithelela yangasese. Isimo esibucayi njengobhadane olukhona manje, nokho, sibangele ukutholwa okukhulu kobuchwepheshe.
Isibonelo sokwamukelwa kobuchwepheshe ukusetshenziswa kwe-AI ukuhlaziya ubuningi bamaphepha esayensi ashicilelwe ku-COVID-19 ukunika amandla abacwaningi ukuthi bakwazi ukuhlaziya kangcono nokuqonda leli gciwane.
I-AI nayo ingasetshenziselwa ukusiza ukubhekana ngqo naleli gciwane. Isibonelo, ukuqala kwezobuchwepheshe bezempilo ngama-chatbots wezokwelapha kubuyekeza ama-algorithms ukunika amandla ukuhlolwa kwabantu ukweluleka ukuthi ngabe kufanele bahlolwe ukutheleleka ukuze banciphise ukucindezelwa kwezinsizakalo zezempilo. Ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zeselula ezikhona (njengeVula) ziyakhiwa ukusiza ukudluliselwa kwezokwelapha nokuqinisekisa ukuthi izimpahla zokwelashwa nemishini enikelwayo ifinyelela ezikhungweni zezempilo ezidinga usizo.
Ngasohlangothini lwebhizinisi, izimboni zabathengi, ikakhulukazi amahhotela, izindawo zokudla, izindawo zokuphuza utshwala, amakhasino nabathengisi, ziphakathi kwemikhakha ethinteke kakhulu yimikhawulo kahulumeni kwezorhwebo kanye nokwesaba umphakathi ngezindawo ezigcwele abantu.
NgoMashi 18, uhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika wamemezela ukuthi zonke izakhiwo ezidayisa utshwala, kufaka phakathi izindawo zokudlela, izindawo zokucima ukoma namakilabhu, kufanele zivalwe ngokushesha noma zingathengisa kuphela phakathi kwamahora athile, futhi kungenzeka zingabi nabantu abangaphezu kwama-50 emagcekeni noma nini. Lezi zikhungo kufanele futhi zinikeze okungenani imitha eyisikwele yendawo yaphansi umuntu ngamunye. Ukuvinjelwa kwamandla kuzoba nzima emabhizinisini amaningi ukuhlangabezana nawo - kepha adinga ukuhlala esebenza phezulu futhi agweme ukulahleka kwemisebenzi.
Lezi zimboni zidinga ukuvumelanisa amamodeli azo ebhizinisi ukuze ziphile. Ukwehlukanisa ububanzi bemikhiqizo yabo, ukufaka esikhundleni sokuvakashela izakhiwo ngokuvakashela amawebhusayithi, nokusebenzisana nezinkampani zezimpahla zokuletha ekhaya kungaba yizixazululo eziholwa ubuchwepheshe. Amathuba ezobuchwepheshe angahle abe yinkimbinkimbi njengokusebenzisa amarobhothi ukuthatha ama-oda nokusebenzisa ama-drones ukudiliva. Amazwe amaningi ahlangabezana nezingqinamba ezifanayo futhi abika ukwanda kwamakhasimende athenga ekhaya. Esixwayisweni senzuzo ngoMashi 20, abakwaMarks & Spencer e-UK bathi balindele ukubona ukwanda kokulethwa kokudla emakhaya, yize amabhizinisi asekhaya nezimpahla zokugqoka elindele "ukwehla okuqhubekayo." Ukwehluka komkhiqizo wayo kungayinika ukuqina okukhulu kunebhizinisi lomkhakha owodwa, kungeza.
Inkampani yase-US enikezela ngemininingwane kuzinhlelo zokusebenza, i-Apptopia, ibike maphakathi noMashi ukuthi ukulandwa okujwayelekile kwansuku zonke kwezinhlelo zabo zokusebenza yizinkampani eziletha izinto ezifana ne-Instacart, iWalmart Grocery, neShipit kukhuphuke phakathi kuka-124% no-218% uma kuqhathaniswa nezilinganiso zansuku zonke Februwari.
Amabhizinisi aseNingizimu Afrika azohlomula ngokwakha ama-web agile nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezingamaselula nokukhuthaza amakhasimende ukuthi azisebenzise. Lokhu-ke kuzobandakanya ukuthuthukiswa kokusebenzisana kwe-IP phakathi kwabathengisi nezinkampani ze-logistics ezidinga ukuvikelwa kanye nokulawulwa kwe-IP.
Ngenkathi ubuchwepheshe buletha izinzuzo ezinkulu kukhona nobungozi okufanele buzazi.
Kubalulekile ukuthi amabhizinisi abone ukuthi ukwamukelwa nokusetshenziswa kwe-AI ebhizinisini kungenzeka kubandakanye kokubili ukuthuthukiswa kwe-IP kanye nokusetshenziswa kwe-IP okwenziwa abantu besithathu, abakhokhelwa imali yelayisense. Izivumelwano ezihlonza i-IP, ezilawula ubunikazi baleyo IP nokusetshenziswa kwayo ziyobaluleka kakhulu uma inkampani izosebenzisa ngempumelelo futhi ithengise leyo IP ngempumelelo.
Olunye ugibe olungaba khona kungavela lapho umthengisi esebenzisana nenkampani yezimpahla, ngokwesibonelo ukudala ibhizinisi elisha. Kuleso simo, kungaqubuka izingxabano ngokuthi iyiphi inkampani ephethwe yi-IP, ngakuliphi isilinganiso, nokuthi kwenzekani nge-IP uma ubudlelwano bunqamuka. Uma amaqembu ehluleka ukulawula izinkontileka ngalezi zici, ukumangalelwa ngamacala kungaba nomphumela omubi obiza kakhulu.
Lokhu kulandela ukuthi ibhizinisi elinezinhlelo zokwehlukanisa ngemigudu emisha yokulethwa kwezidingo lidinga ukubheka ukuthi iziphi izinyathelo elizidingayo ukuze lisebenze ngokuzikhandla ukuvikela umkhiqizo walo nezinto ezintsha ezihambisanayo noma izinto ezisunguliwe noma ukunikezwa kwensizakalo emisha nemikhiqizo.
Igciwane le-Covid-19 lisingenise sonke enkabeni yenguquko yesine yezimboni. Ngenkathi ubuchwepheshe bungaba ukhiye ekusindeni kulezi zinselelo zamanje, amabhizinisi azokwelulekwa kahle ukuthi afune ukuholwa mayelana nokuvikelwa kwe-IP okudingekayo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi amalungelo enzelwa inzuzo ahlala engawabo.
