Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of Computer Science that aims to create computers/machines as intelligent as human beings.
AI is defined as "The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs" by John McCarthy, the father of AI.

Definition of AI

AI is the study of how to make computers do things which at the moment, people do better.
AI is a collection of hard problems which can be solved by humans and other living things, but for which we don't have good algorithms for solving.

Key Concepts

Data: symbols that represent properties of objects, events, and their environment.
Information: a message that contains relevant meaning, implication, or input for decision or action.
Knowledge: the cognition or recognition capacity to act and understand that resides or is contained within the brain.
Intelligence: the ability to sense the environment, to make decisions, and to control action.

Artificial Intelligence

AI is one of the emerging technologies that tries to simulate human reasoning in AI systems.
AI is the ability of a computer program to learn and think.
AI is built on three important concepts: Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Neural Networks.

Machine Learning

Machine learning allows software to learn new tasks without human guidance.
The goal is to give systems a large amount of examples for any given chore, and they should be able to process each one and learn how to do it by the end of the activity.

Deep Learning

Deep learning enables software to use what it has learned in one area to solve problems in other areas.
Example: a program that has learned how to distinguish images in a photograph might be able to use this learning to seek out patterns in complex graphs.

Neural Networks

Neural networks consist of computer programs that mimic the way the human brain processes information.
They specialize in clustering information and recognizing complex patterns, giving computers the ability to use more sophisticated processes to analyze data.

Career in Artificial Intelligence

Factors characterizing a career in AI include: Automation, Robotics, and the use of sophisticated computer software.
Individuals pursuing a career in AI require specific education based on the foundations of math, technology, logic, and engineering perspectives.
Good communication skills are essential to convey how AI services and tools will help when employed.

Studying That Suits You

Use AI to generate personalized quizzes and flashcards to suit your learning preferences.
