- The two visions for achieving machine intelligence are Symbolic AI and the connectionist approach.
- The field of AI research was born at a workshop at Dartmouth College in 1956.
- Progress slowed in the 1970s, leading to an "AI winter" when funding for AI projects was difficult to obtain.
- AI research was revived in the 1980s by the commercial success of expert systems.
- Researchers began to doubt the symbolic approach and turned to sub-symbolic approaches and soft computing tools.
- Advances in machine learning and perception enabled by faster computers, algorithmic improvements, and access to large amounts of data have led to the dominance of data-hungry deep learning methods.
- AI usage in Google increased from sporadic usage to over 2,700 projects in 2015
- 1 in 5 companies reported incorporating AI in some offerings or processes in 2017
- AI research has developed subfields including artificial general intelligence (AGI)
- AI capabilities include reasoning, problem-solving, knowledge representation, learning, natural language processing, perception, social intelligence, and general intelligence
- Machine learning is a fundamental concept in AI research
- Natural language processing enables machines to read and understand human language
- Machine perception involves using input from sensors to deduce aspects of the world
- Affective computing comprises systems that recognize, interpret, process, or simulate human feeling, emotion, and mood
- AI can solve problems by intelligently searching through many possible solutions
- Simple exhaustive searches are rarely sufficient for most real-world problems
- AI uses various methods including search, logic, probabilistic methods, classifiers, and neural networks.
- Heuristics prioritize choices likely to reach a goal in a shorter number of steps.
- Optimization algorithms refine guesses incrementally until no more refinements can be made.
- Logic is used for knowledge representation and problem-solving.
- Probabilistic methods are used for uncertain reasoning and decision-making.
- Classifiers are functions that use pattern matching to determine the closest match.
- Neural networks model complex relationships between inputs and outputs and find patterns in data.
- Deep learning uses several layers of neurons to extract higher-level features from raw input.
- Convolutional neural networks are often used in deep learning for image processing.
- Recurrent neural networks allow feedback and short-term memory of previous input events.
- AI is an umbrella term for any intellectual task that can be performed by machines.
- Deep learning techniques, such as N and LSTM, are used to train RNNs.
- Specialized languages and hardware have been developed for AI, such as Lisp, Prolog, TensorFlow, and AI accelerators.
- AI has become a ubiquitous feature of daily life, used in search engines, recommendation systems, virtual assistants, autonomous vehicles, automatic language translation, facial recognition, image labeling, spam filtering, chatbots, and more.
- AI content detector tools are commonly used to identify inappropriate content in digital media.
- Smart traffic lights have been developed and installed in 22 cities, reducing drive time by 25% and traffic jam waiting time by 40%.
- AI is the most prolific emerging technology in terms of patent applications and granted patents.
- The Turing test measures the ability of a machine to simulate human conversation.
- No established unifying theory or paradigm has guided AI research for most of its history.
- Symbolic AI simulated high-level conscious reasoning and was highly successful at "intelligent" tasks such as algebra or IQ tests, but had limits.
