Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes using machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of artificial intelligence include expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision.
What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
In today's world, technology is developing very fast and we come in contact with different new technologies every day.
One of the rapidly developing technologies of computer science is artificial intelligence, which is ready to create a new revolution in the world by producing intelligent machines. Artificial intelligence is now all around us. He is currently working on various sub-disciplines, from general to specific, such as self-driving cars, playing chess, proving theorems, playing music, Painting, etc.
Artificial intelligence is made up of two words Artificial and Intelligence, where artificial defines as "artificially created" and intelligence defines as "thinking power", therefore AI means "artificial thinking power".
So we can define AI as:
"It is a branch of computer science by which we can create intelligent machines that can act like humans, think like humans, and make decisions."
Artificial intelligence exists when a machine can have human-like skills such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving
With artificial intelligence, you don't have to pre-program a machine to do a job, yet you can create a machine with programmed algorithms that can work with its own intelligence, and that's the awesomeness of AI.
It is believed that artificial intelligence is not a new technology and some people say that according to Greek myth t, there were mechanical men in early times who could work and act like humans.
Artificial intelligence examples
1. Personal Assistants: AI-powered personal assistants such as Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, and Google Assistant can help users manage their daily tasks, make calls, and control smart home devices.
2. Image and voice recognition: AI can recognize images and voices, enabling applications such as face recognition, speech recognition and translation. Some examples include Google Photos, Microsoft Seeing AI, and Amazon Rekognition.
3. Fraud detection: Artificial intelligence algorithms can analyze large amounts of data to detect fraudulent activity in real time. Some examples include PayPal's fraud detection system and Visa's advanced authorization system.
4. Healthcare: Artificial intelligence can help in the early detection of diseases and help with treatment plans. Examples include IBM Watson for Oncology, which helps oncologists make cancer treatment decisions, and AiCure, an AI-powered medication adherence platform.
5. Robotics: AI is used to develop autonomous robots that can perform various tasks such as manufacturing, transportation, and security. Examples include Boston Dynamics robots and the Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner.
6. Gameplay: Artificial intelligence can be used in games to create intelligent and challenging opponents, adaptive game mechanics, and personalized experiences. Examples include OpenAI's Dota 2 AI and DeepMind's AlphaGo.
Why artificial intelligence?
Before we start learning about artificial intelligence, we should know the meaning of artificial intelligence and why we should learn it. Below are some of the top reasons to learn about AI:
With the help of AI, you can create such software or devices that can solve real-world problems like health problems, marketing, traffic problems, etc. very easily and accurately.
With the help of AI, you can create your personal virtual assistant like Cortana, Google Assistant, Siri, etc.
With the help of AI, you can build such robots that can work in environments where human survival can be threatened.
AI paves the way for more new technologies, new devices, and new opportunities.
Goals of artificial intelligence:
Below are the main goals of artificial intelligence:
* Replicate human intelligence
* Solve knowledge-intensive tasks
* Intelligent connection of perception and action
* Building a machine that can perform tasks that require human intelligence, such as:
* Proving the theorem
* Play chess
* Schedule your surgery
* Driving a car in traffic
Create a system that can show intelligent behavior, learn new things by itself, and demonstrate, explain, and can advise its user.
What does artificial intelligence involve?
Artificial intelligence is not only a part of computer science, although it is so vast and requires many other factors that can contribute to it. In order to create AI, we should know how intelligence is composed, so intelligence is the intangible part of our brain that is a combination of reasoning, learning, perception, problem-solving, language understanding, etc.
To achieve the above factors for a machine or software, AI requires the following discipline:
* Mathematics
* Biology
* Psychology
* Sociology
* Computer science
* Neurons Study
* Statistics
Advantages of artificial intelligence
Here are some of the main benefits of artificial intelligence:
High Accuracy with Fewer Errors: AI machines or systems are prone to fewer errors and high accuracy because they make decisions based on prior experience or information.
High speed: AI systems can be very fast and make decisions quickly, because of this AI systems can beat a chess champion in a chess game.
High reliability: AI machines are highly reliable and can perform the same action multiple times with high accuracy.
Useful for risky areas: AI machines can be useful in situations like bomb disposal, and ocean floor exploration where employing a human can be risky.
Digital Assistant: Artificial intelligence can be very useful in providing digital assistance to users like AI technology which is currently used by various e-commerce websites to display products according to customers' requirements.
Useful as a public service: Artificial intelligence can be very useful for public services such as the self-driving car that can make our journey safer and more hassle-free, facial recognition for security purposes, natural language processing to communicate with a human in human language, etc.
Disadvantages of artificial intelligence
Every technology has some drawbacks and the same goes for artificial intelligence. Because it is still such an advantageous technology, it has some drawbacks that we need to keep in mind when building an AI system. Below are the disadvantages of AI:
High cost: AI's hardware and software requirements are very expensive as they require a lot of maintenance to meet the current world's requirements.
I can't think out of the box: Even if we make smarter machines with artificial intelligence, but still they can't work out of the box because the robot will only do the job they are trained or programmed to do.
No Feelings and Emotions: AI machines can be excellent performers, but still they have no feelings, so they cannot form any emotional bond with a human and can sometimes be harmful to the user if not properly cared for.
Increase Dependence on Machines: With the increase in technology, people are becoming more and more dependent on devices and hence losing their mental abilities.
No original creativity: Humans are so creative and can imagine some new ideas, but AI machines still cannot overcome this power of human intelligence and cannot be creative and imaginative.
Assumption
Before you start learning about artificial intelligence, you need to have a basic understanding of the following so that you can easily understand the concepts:
* Any computer language like C, C++, Java, Python, etc. (Knowledge of Python will be an advantage)
* Knowledge of basic mathematics such as derivatives, probability theory, etc.
