Study Notes
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Definition
- AI is a field of computer science dedicated to creating intelligent machines, able to perform tasks requiring human intelligence, including thinking, decision-making, and behavior.
- AI doesn't require pre-programmed machines. Instead, it involves developing machines with programmed algorithms that allow for intelligence.
- AI involves a computer's ability to think, learn, and mimic human mental processes like perceiving, reasoning, and learning.
Different Types of AI
- Acting humanly: Systems that act like humans.
- Thinking humanly: Systems that think like humans.
- Acting rationally: Systems that act rationally.
- Thinking rationally: Systems that think rationally.
Types of AI Based on Capabilities
- Weak or narrow AI: Performs predefined, narrow sets of instructions without exhibiting thinking.
- General AI: Capable of performing tasks like humans.
- Strong AI: Predicted to surpass human capabilities, potentially posing a threat to society.
AI Aims
- Simulate human intelligence: Replicate human intelligence in machines.
- Solve complex problems: Address challenges exceeding human ability.
- Improve life: Develop intelligent machines that benefit human lives (e.g., virtual assistants).
- Perform complex tasks: Allow machines to carry out tasks demanding human intelligence (e.g., surgery, theorem proving).
- Advance technologies: Drive innovation in new technologies, devices, and opportunities.
AI Timeline (Examples of milestones)
- 1950: Turing Test proposed.
- 1955: "Artificial intelligence" term coined.
- 1961: Unimate, the first industrial robot.
- 1964: ELIZA developed, a pioneering chatbot.
- 1966: Shakey, the first general-purpose mobile robot, developed.
- 1997: Deep Blue defeated a chess champion.
- 2011: Siri introduced. Watson won Jeopardy.
- 2014: Eugene Goostman chatbot. Others like Alexa released.
- 2016: AlphaGo beat human Go champion.
Core Components of Intelligence
- Learning: Knowledge acquisition, often through trial and error.
- Reasoning: Processes that enable judgment to make decisions or predictions (like the example of determining Fred's location).
- Perception: Scanning the environment using sensory organs (real or artificial) to decompose elements in spatial relationships.
- Problem-solving: Systematic, data-based search for solutions.
- Language intelligence: Computers process and parse language similarly to humans.
Turing Test
- The Turing test is a method of evaluating a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.
- A computer passes the test if a human interrogator, unable to distinguish it from a human, cannot tell that the responses originate from a machine.
- To pass, a computer must have natural language processing, knowledge representation, and automated reasoning
AI and Employment
- Estimated proportions of employment exposure to AI automation varies across fields.
- Some roles have a higher risk of automation due to their procedures (office and administrative work, sales, computer and mathematical and many more).
