Study Notes
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- AI has always been an intriguing term around the world, with various organizations defining it in their own ways.
- AI applications are not limited to smart devices, but also include humanoids like Sophia, biometric security systems, real-time language translators, and weather forecasts.
What is AI?
- AI refers to machines that have been trained with data and can make decisions/predictions on their own.
- The term 'training' is crucial, as machines can only be considered AI if they can process and learn from data.
What is not AI?
- Automation, such as fully automatic washing machines, is not AI because it requires human intervention to function correctly.
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as air conditioners that can be turned on and off remotely, are not AI because they need human touch.
- Robots that follow a path or avoid obstacles but need to be primed accordingly each time are not AI.
AI and Data Privacy
- Smartphones are boxes full of sensors that are powered all the time, collecting data about users and their surroundings.
- Apps collect data with users' permission, but users can opt for alternative applications that keep their data private.
- Bias is an aspect of AI ethics, as AI systems can perpetuate biases present in the data they are trained on.
AI Applications
- Robotics and AI can open the doors to humanoids and self-driving cars.
- AI merged with IoT can give rise to cloud computing of data and remote access of AI tools.
- Automation along with AI can help in achieving voice-automated homes.
- AI has enhanced the gaming experience, graphics, and difficulty levels.
- AI is used in platforms like Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, and YouTube to provide personalized recommendations.
- AI is also used to monitor physical and mental health through chatbots and health apps.
