Emerging artificial intelligence applications: metaverse, IoT, cybersecurity, healthcare - an overview

The term "artificial intelligence" (AI) refers to "smart" high-tech that is mindful of and able to learn from its surroundings. It is the most revolutionary technology that humans have ever created. Common AI approaches involving machine learning and deep learning techniques can be effectively applied to resolve today's various cybersecurity issues. Furthermore, the metaverse is all about how people communicate and engage with one another through technology. This survey explores the role of AI with its emerging applications and their various technologies, such as the metaverse, healthcare, IoT, gaming, and many more. To determine the strengths, flaws, opportunities, and risks that are inherent in artificial intelligence technologies, using an extensive literature survey, the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) assessments have been undertaken in this survey paper. Finally, the survey paper summarises the current state of knowledge of AI applications and discusses the findings present in recent research to ensure a favourable change in artificial intelligence advances and applications. Some technical AI challenges, like high-speed, high-performance hardware and reducing the amount of training data, etc., are also discussed with future scope.
