    Study Notes

    Artificial Intelligence (AI)

    • AI has become popular in the business world, but its modern usage differs from its philosophical origins.
    • Alan Turing is credited with giving rise to the field of AI in 1950 through his paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence".
    • The term "artificial intelligence" was coined in 1956 during the "Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence".
    • The famous "Turing Test" was proposed as a way to determine if a machine is truly thinking.

    Types of AI

    • There are four types of artificial intelligence: reactive machines, limited memory, theory of mind, and self-awareness.

    Reactive Machines

    • The most basic type of AI system, which is purely reactive and has no ability to form memories or use past experiences to inform current decisions.
    • These machines perceive the world directly and act on what they see, without relying on an internal concept of the world.
    • They are trustworthy and reliable, but unable to interactively participate in the world.

    Limited Memory

    • Machines in this class can look into the past and absorb learning data to improve over time.
    • They are characterized by the ability to learn from data, similar to humans.
    • This type of AI is widely used and being perfected today, especially in deep learning algorithms.

    Theory of Mind

    • This type of AI distinguishes between current machines and future machines.
    • It involves forming representations about other agents or entities in the world, understanding their thoughts and emotions, and how they affect their behavior.
    • This is crucial for social interactions and forming societies.

    Self-Awareness (Singularity)

    • The final step of AI development is to build systems that can form representations about themselves.
    • This requires understanding consciousness and building machines that have it.

    Machine Learning (ML)

    • ML is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building.
    • It is a branch of AI based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention.
    • ML systems are designed to define their own set of rules based on data inputs, unlike rule-based systems.
