Study Notes
What is Artificial Intelligence
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the creation of intelligent machines that can think and behave like humans
- AI machines can make decisions, solve complex problems, and learn from experience
- AI is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge, based on experience gained from training
History of Artificial Intelligence
- Alan Turing introduced the Turing Test, a way to evaluate machine intelligence
- The first AI program was demonstrated at Carnegie Mellon University in 1955
- John McCarthy coined the term "Artificial Intelligence"
- Deep Blue, an AI chess program, beat chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997
The Need for AI
- AI can create expert systems to solve complex problems and give advice
- AI helps machines find solutions to complex problems, much like humans do
Goals of Artificial Intelligence
- Replicating human intelligence
- Solving tasks that require expertise and knowledge
- Connecting perception and action intelligently, enabling robots to perceive and act on their environment
- Creating machines that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence, like playing chess, driving, or planning a surgical operation
- Building systems that can learn, demonstrate, explain, and advise users
What Comprises Artificial Intelligence
- AI is not just about computer science
- It requires other factors, such as reasoning, learning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding
Applications of Artificial Intelligence
- AI is used to create digital assistants, such as those used by e-commerce websites to show products based on user needs
- AI is used in self-driving cars, facial recognition for security purposes, and natural language processing for search engines, spelling checkers, assistants like Siri, and translation services like Google Translate
Advantages of Artificial Intelligence
- AI systems are accurate and have fewer errors than human operators
- They can make decisions and perform tasks at a much faster speed than humans
- They can be reliable and perform tasks consistently with high accuracy
- AI can be very helpful in risky situations such as defusing bombs, exploring the ocean floor, and more
Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence
- AI can be expensive to develop and implement
- AI systems are unable to think creatively, outside the box
- They lack emotional intelligence
- AI dependence can have negative impacts on society
- Job displacement is a concern
- Privacy concerns surrounding AI are becoming more important as AI technology advances
Types of Artificial Intelligence (Based on Capabilities)
- Weak AI or Narrow AI: AI designed to perform a specific task and cannot operate beyond its limitations
- General AI: AI capable of performing any intellectual task, like a human
- Super AI: AI that surpasses human intelligence in all areas and can perform any task better
Types of Artificial Intelligence (Based on Functionality)
- Reactive Machines: Do not store memories and only react to current stimuli. Examples: IBM's Deep Blue and Google's AlphaGo
- Limited Memory: Can store past experiences temporarily and use them to inform future actions. Self-driving cars are an example.
- Theory of Mind: AI that understands human emotions, beliefs, and can interact socially like humans. This type of AI is still under development.
