Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI involves mimicking human intelligence to perform tasks such as problem-solving and decision-making.
In everyday life, AI enhances user experience through virtual assistants, chatbots, and personalized recommendations.

Key Applications of AI

Virtual Assistants: Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa respond to natural language, handling tasks like reminders and smart device control.
Chatbots: AI-driven chatbots provide customer support by answering common questions on websites and mobile applications.
Medical Diagnosis: AI aids in early disease detection, with tools like IBM Watson for accurate medical imaging and diagnoses.
Natural Language Processing (NLP): Models like GPT-3 enable content generation, translation, and sentiment analysis with human-like language understanding.
Autonomous Robots: AI robots assist in industries (manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare) for tasks like product assembly and surgeries.
Predictive Maintenance: AI predicts potential equipment failures in aviation and manufacturing, allowing proactive maintenance to minimize downtime.
Gaming: AI designs realistic non-player characters (NPCs) and adapts gameplay based on player actions.
Content Creation: AI generates content for social media, marketing, and creative projects, including music and artwork.
