Study Notes
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- AI is a field of computer science focused on creating systems that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence.
- Tasks include: learning from experience, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language, and perception.
- AI systems can be designed for specific tasks (recognizing images, translating languages) or more general problem solving.
Emergence of AI - Early Beginnings (1950s-1960s)
- Turing Test (1950): Proposed by Alan Turing to measure a machine's ability to mimic human conversation.
- Logic Theorist (1955): Developed by Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon. It aimed to prove mathematical theorems in a human-like way.
- ELIZA (1966): One of the first natural language processing (NLP) programs, designed to simulate conversations with a therapist.
Emergence of AI - Expert Systems & Early Machine Learning (1970s-1980s)
- MYCIN (1972): An expert system developed at Stanford University to assist in bacterial infection diagnosis and antibiotic prescription.
- Early Machine Learning Systems (1980s): Basic machine learning techniques emerged, such as decision tree algorithms.
Emergence of AI - Periods of Decline and Modern Revival (1990s-2010s)
- Deep Blue (1997): A computer developed by IBM that defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov.
- AIBO (1999): Sony's robotic dog, an early attempt to integrate AI into entertainment robots.
- Roomba Robots (2002): Automated vacuum cleaners using AI for autonomous navigation and cleaning.
- IBM Watson (2011): IBM's AI system won the "Jeopardy!" quiz show, showcasing AI's capabilities in natural language processing and information retrieval.
- Deep Learning and Neural Networks (2010s): The use of deep neural networks led to significant performance improvements in various applications.
Emergence of AI - Modern Applications (2020s - Present)
- Virtual Assistants (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant): Use AI to understand voice commands and interact with users.
- GPT (Generative Language Models): Models like GPT-3 and GPT-4 generate human-like text.
- Self-Driving Cars (Tesla Vehicles): Utilize AI to process data from cameras and sensors for autonomous driving decisions.
- Advanced Medical Diagnostics: Deep learning algorithms are used in medical imaging to detect diseases like cancer.
- AI in Scientific Research: AI is used in drug discovery, new material identification, and biological data analysis.
Artificial Intelligence in Pharmacy
- AI is transforming various aspects of drug development, patient care, and operational efficiency.
- AI enhances the capabilities of pharmacists, improves patient care, and drives innovation in the pharmaceutical industry.
AI Applications for Pharmacy Students
