Study Notes

Intelligence

Intelligence is the ability to learn, understand, interact with the environment.
Key abilities include adaptation, knowledge acquisition, reasoning, understanding relationships, evaluation, and creative thought.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is the development of machine intelligence.
There's been a significant increase in AI research in recent years.
AI aims to mimic and surpass human intelligence, enabling computers to perform tasks automatically.

Types of AI

Strong (Full/General) AI: indistinguishable from the human mind, can learn and develop goals independently
Weak (Narrow) AI: limited function, programmed to perform specific tasks, can learn from data but cannot create its own programs
Domain-specified AI: focuses on automating specific tasks, excels in those areas, does not do general problem solving

The Turing Test

A test to distinguish between human and computer intelligence.
The interrogator asks questions to two participants (one human, one computer).
If the interrogator cannot figure out who is who, the AI passes.

AI Techniques: Machine Learning

Machine learning uses algorithms to learn from data.
Algorithms create models based on example data which help make predictions and decisions.

AI Techniques: Deep Learning

Deep learning is an advanced form of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks.
Artificial neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic the human brain.
A helpful example is for images: machine learning might spot edges; deep learning for faces.

Uses of AI

AI is used in pattern recognition (e.g. facial recognition).
AI is used in speech recognition, natural language processing.
AI is used in gait recognition, image analysis and recognition (e.g., Google Image Search).

Areas of AI application

AI is utilized in web search engines.
AI is used in language translation, video games, chess, predictive text, natural language communication, pattern recognition (like OCR).

Artificial Neural Networks

AI networks learn and model complex relationships from data.
They can make broader predictions based on the initial data input.
They are used in facial recognition, forecasting (weather, stock markets) and composing music.

AI Winters

Periods in AI history characterized by decreased interest, funding.
Notable winters included 1974-1980 and 1987-1993.
The currently observed period since 2005 is referred to as an AI summer.

Singularity and Multiplicity

Some scientists predict a future AI singularity: AI surpassing human intelligence and control.
Other scientists foresee AI multiplicity: a future where humans and AI work together to solve complex problems.

AI Dilemmas

AI faces challenges in fairness, bias, accountability, transparency, and human roles in the age of automation.
