Cloud Storage

A virtual space for storing data remotely. Data is uploaded to cloud servers (like Google Drive) and copied to physical data centers. These centers use multiple hard drives and often span across locations to ensure redundancy and data safety.

Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

  • AI is a branch of computer science aiming to create machines as intelligent as humans.
  • It's the science and engineering of building intelligent machines, particularly computer programs.
  • AI explores similar tasks to understanding human intelligence but isn't limited by biological methods.
  • It focuses on automating tasks typically done better by humans, such as decision-making, problem-solving, and learning.
  • AI can be described as Intelligence + System = AI.
  • A key definition of AI is: "The study of how to make computers do things which, at the moment, people do better."
  • John McCarthy, considered the father of AI, defined it as "The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs".
  • Goals of AI include replicating human intelligence, solving complex problems, and building intelligent systems.

Types of AI

Narrow AI (Weak AI)

  • Narrow AI focuses on specific tasks and actions.
  • It excels in one cognitive area but cannot independently learn beyond its design.
  • Uses machine learning and neural networks for specific tasks.
  • Natural language processing is a type of narrow AI, responding to voice commands but incapable of other tasks.
  • Examples include image recognition software, self-driving cars, and AI virtual assistants.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) (Strong AI)

  • AGI can learn, think, and perform various actions like humans.
  • The goal is to create machines with human-like capabilities.
