Not only has AI reached a point where we can find it in many aspects of our daily lives, but it's also a fact that knowing AI is a considerable advantage for developers.
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making strides over the last couple of decades, we’ll see what possibilities it offers with one of devs’ go-to techs: React.
We'll go over React and AI basics and move on to some examples of unique AI-based features developed with React. Let's dive in!
What is React?
Although many refer to React as a framework, it’s an open-source front-end JavaScript library used to build web user interfaces (UIs).
Also known as ReactJS or React.JS, Facebook created it for internal use in 2011 and launched into the world in 2013.
React is most known for being declarative, component-based, supporting the server side and being fast and easy to learn.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
The concept behind Artificial Intelligence lies in the fact that computers can learn from existing decision-making examples to build machines able to perform human-like tasks.
Some examples of daily-used applications that include AI development are speech recognition, fraud prevention and smart assistants.
Beyond common uses, AI is making waves in action planning, question answering and task solving trajectories recognition, all key edges to move forward more specific actions!
Since AI is a broad field, it's divided into many subfields that may also have their own subfields!
While Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning are AI subfields, Deep Learning is a subfield of Machine Learning and Large Language Models LLMs harness NLP, respectively.
As a field, Machine Learning is quite used within AI as it blends it with Computer Science, harnessing algorithms and structural models to analyze data patterns.
As a result, and by blending AI and CS, Machine Learning gives computers the ability to learn by mimicking human behavior and imitating the way humans learn.
Can Artificial Intelligence Write Code?
A big question about AI is whether it will take over what are now human jobs.
So, we thought it would be interesting to dive into the questions. Can AI write your React code for you? The short answer is yes, and then some.
We cannot try to answer this question without considering GPT-3. The Generative Pre-Trained Transformer 3, built by OpenAI, is trained to produce human-like text.
With an unprecedented 175 billion parameters, it's able to write everything! From literary works and business memos to poems, fiction and humor texts and, yes, code.
More specifically, you could use OpenAI APIs in GPT-3 to write React code for a fully functioning app in seconds.
If you are worried about your future as a developer, don’t panic! Although GPT-3 has shown fantastic potential, this AI cannot make breakthroughs.
Yet, it’s a tremendous tool to delegate smaller tasks so you can have time to focus on the bigger picture.
5 Examples of React AI Development
Artificial Intelligence has brought outstanding improvements to our daily lives. Its uses are far-reaching and are in almost, if not every, industry.
When it comes to development, React has also shown considerable flexibility, from blogs and social networks to eCommerce and cross-platform mobile apps.
So, what can these two achieve when combined? We'll review seven examples of AI development with React.
1. Speech Recognition
Speech recognition is a striking feature that offers not only hands-free control of various devices but also accessible products for people with hearing or visual impairments.
Also, speech recognition allows writing documents through voice-to-text tech and security voice identification.
Regarding React, there are several ways to add speech recognition, like this ready-made boilerplate that integrates ML into React to allow speech recognition.
You also can use the rev.ai text-to-speech API and React’s react-speech-recognition hook for voice assistance.
2. Shopping Carts
We thought the AI of a shopping cart deserved its section. With AI plus React, websites can allow users to add items to their cart with voice recognition.
For this, you'll need the Alan AI framework, which makes it possible to run an entire application through voice commands!
3. Machine Learning Web Apps
You can also combine React AI to build Web Apps by adding Flask to the back-end.
Adding a Machine Learning model here allows you to predict values for specific inputs.
4. Image Search
Let’s say you want to add an image search feature to your project— React can help you with this as well!
You can rely on React for the front-end user interactions, with Node.JS and its package manager NPM to build the back-end.
Other tools included Cloudinary for storage and Algolia to start the AI search. The result? An AI image-search tool that looks for patterns among uploaded images!
5. Tic Tac Toe
You can also use Artificial Intelligence to have some fun! That’s precisely the case for this AI-based Tic Tac Toe, which uses Node.JS, React, and Adaptive Intelligence (AIP3).
As a consequence, it adapts to an opponent’s skill level. How do you think AI fares against a human Tic Tac Toe player?
Conclusion
As you can see, the opportunities regarding AI development with React are endless. We hope our overview has inspired you! What will your next AI project be?
