Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is a branch of computer science focused on creating systems capable of tasks requiring human intelligence, including learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making.
Key components include machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics.
Applications span healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment, automating processes, improving efficiency, and creating new capabilities.

Evolution of AI

Early beginnings (1950s-1960s): Turing's concept of a machine simulating human intelligence and the Dartmouth conference.
First AI programs (1950s-1970s): Logic Theorist and General Problem Solver demonstrated machine intelligence.
AI winter (1970s-1980s): Reduced funding and interest due to limited computational power and unrealistic expectations.
Expert systems and revival (1980s-1990s): Renewed interest in AI with expert systems and the success of IBM's Deep Blue.
