Study Notes
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence
- Virtual assistants can help remind patients to take medication and exercise
- Retail sector uses AI for personalized recommendations and advertising
- AI optimizes product placement and inventory management in retail
- AI analyzes IoT data in factories for predictive maintenance and load/demand forecasting
- Banks use AI for fraud prevention, credit risk assessment, and data management automation
- AI is revolutionizing various sectors of activity
- History of AI began in 1943 with the first mathematical model for a neural network
- Alan Turing's Test of Turing, still used to evaluate AIs, was published in 1950
- The term "artificial intelligence" was first used in the 1956 Dartmouth conference
- Doubts about AI emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, known as the "first AI winter"
- The "second AI winter" followed in the late 1980s due to market decline in Lisp machines
- AI resurgence in the late 1990s and 2000s, marked by IBM's Deep Blue defeating a world chess champion and Google's advances in voice recognition and Deep Learning
- AI poses potential dangers, as it could surpass human intelligence and pose a threat to humanity
Understanding Artificial Intelligence
- There is no single definition of artificial intelligence (AI) due to the complexity of the concept.
- Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig's book "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" aims to provide a unified understanding of AI as the study of intelligent agents receiving perceptions and taking actions.
- Four historical approaches have shaped the field of AI: human thought, rational thought, human action, and rational action.
- Patrick Winston defines AI as algorithms constrained by representations supporting models linking thought, perception, and action.
- Another modern definition describes AI as machines responding to simulations like humans, capable of contemplation, judgment, and intention.
- AI is characterized by intentional, intelligent, and adaptable qualities, establishing it as a computer science field.
- There are two main categories of AI: narrow AI, which focuses on specific tasks, and general AI, which emulates human intelligence and problem-solving abilities.
- Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) are the primary AI techniques used today.
- ML involves feeding data to a computer for it to learn and perform tasks without specific programming.
- DL is a type of ML inspired by the architecture of human brain neurons, enabling machines to process data through multiple layers for improved learning.
- AI has diverse applications across sectors, including healthcare for personalized treatments, drug discovery, and medical image analysis.
- The development of general AI, with human-level cognitive abilities, remains a challenging goal for AI researchers.
