Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

  • AI is computer programming to do things that typically require human intelligence, including learning, problem-solving, and understanding language.

Types of AI

  • Narrow AI (Weak AI): Designed for specific tasks (e.g., Siri, self-driving cars). Specialized and limited in capabilities.
  • General AI (Strong AI): Aims to think and learn like humans, capable of any task a human can. Not yet developed but researched. Some consider it a virtual being with consciousness.

Components of AI

  • Machine Learning (ML): AI systems learn from experience to improve over time, figuring things out through examples (like a smart chess player).
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP): Enables AI to understand and generate human language, making conversations feel natural (e.g., Siri interactions).
  • Neural Networks: A complex system of interconnected "mini-brains" enabling pattern recognition and decision-making, crucial for problem-solving and tasks like face recognition.

Applications of AI

  • Healthcare: Accurate disease diagnosis, personalized treatment, medicine discovery. AI analyzes medical images for early disease detection (e.g., cancer).
  • Automotive: Self-driving cars use AI for navigation, object recognition, and driving decisions. Constant data analysis from sensors/cameras allows safe real-time driving.
  • Gaming: AI-powered opponents (bots) adapt their strategies to challenge players, making games more engaging.
  • Finance: Detecting fraud, making intelligent trading decisions, and assessing financial risks. AI analyzes transaction patterns to identify unusual activity.

Challenges of AI Development

  • Data Quality: AI performance depends on the quality of training data; inaccurate data leads to unreliable results.
  • Misuse of AI: Potential for misuse in activities like hacking, creating deepfakes, and privacy violations.
  • Bias in AI: AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair outcomes (e.g., biased hiring systems).

Ethical Considerations

  • Job displacement: AI-related automation concerns.
  • Energy consumption: AI systems require significant energy, raising environmental concerns about electricity demand.

Benefits of AI

  • Improved functionality in various industries.
  • Enhanced safety, efficiency, and accuracy in areas like healthcare and transportation.
