Study Notes
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as:
- Learning
- Problem-solving
- Reasoning
- Perception
- Understanding language
Brief History of AI
- The Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence (1956) is considered the birthplace of AI as a field of research
- AI research was initially focused on developing rule-based systems that could mimic human problem-solving abilities
- In the 1980s and 1990s, AI research shifted towards machine learning and probabilistic approaches
Types of AI
-
Narrow or Weak AI: Designed to perform a specific task, such as:
- Image recognition
- Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Expert systems
-
General or Strong AI: Aims to create a human-like intelligence that can perform any intellectual task, such as:
- Reasoning
- Problem-solving
- Learning
- Superintelligence: Significantly more intelligent than the best human minds, potentially leading to significant societal impacts
AI Applications
- Robotics: AI-powered robots that can perform tasks such as assembly, inspection, and maintenance
- Healthcare: AI-assisted diagnosis, personalized medicine, and medical imaging analysis
- Finance: AI-driven trading systems, fraud detection, and risk assessment
- Transportation: AI-powered autonomous vehicles, traffic management, and route optimization
