    Study Notes

    Artificial Intelligence Overview

    • Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems.
    • AI includes learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and perception.
    • AI can be categorized into different types.
    • Narrow AI excels at performing singular tasks within a limited context (e.g., playing chess, translation).
    • General AI, or human-level AI, involves understanding and reasoning about the environment like humans. This includes perceiving things, juggling multiple thoughts, and leveraging memories.
    • Super AI surpasses human brains in fields like creativity, general knowledge, and social skills.

    AI History

    • 1950: Alan Turing introduced the Turing Test, a measure of a machine's ability to exhibit human-level intelligence.
    • 1955: John McCarthy coined the term "Artificial Intelligence."
    • 1956-1974: Early years saw research in game playing (chess, checkers) and machine translation.
    • 1974-1979: "AI Winter" - A period where funding and interest in AI decreased due to limited computer power and setbacks.
    • 1980s marked an "AI boom" with the development of expert systems.
    • 1997: Deep Blue (IBM) defeated Garry Kasparov, a major milestone in AI development.
    • 2012: Deep learning revolutionized AI with advancements in neural networks.

    • Generative AI: Creates new data like images, text, audio, and video based on learning from existing data.
    • Recommendation systems: These systems tailor content to individual users, observing past preferences and those of similar users.
    • AI in medicine: AI performs accurate diagnoses, often by analyzing images or patient data.
    • Autonomous cars: Combine AI techniques for route finding, obstacle detection, and decision-making to manage complex and dynamic environments.
    • Smart homes: Combine AI technologies for automated features like security and convenience.
    • Visual AI: Includes computer vision and pattern recognition, enabling applications like facial recognition, natural language processing, and fraud detection.
    • Midjourney: A powerful AI image generator that creates art from user descriptions.
    • ChatGPT: Uses advanced deep learning techniques to generate responses relevant to user prompts, demonstrating impressive language understanding.

    Data Science & Analytics

    • Data science utilizes scientific algorithms and tools to derive insights from structured and unstructured data, enabling better decision-making.
    • Decision-making processes are enhanced through accurate and efficient analysis of large datasets.

    AI in other areas
