ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE An introduction to AI and its Impact  ARTIFICIAL intelligence AI is the simulation of human intelligence in machines designed to think and learn. Artificial intelligence doesn’t have a single inventor, as it developed through the efforts of numerous scientists, mathematicians, and computer scientists over several decades.  TYPES OF AI NARROW AI - Specialized in one area (e.g. Language GENERAL AI Translation). -Hypothetical AI that can understand and SUPERlearn any task like a AI human. -Theoretical AI INTELLIGENT surpassing human intelligence  Benefits of ai (Pros) efficiency - Automates repetitive tasks. ACCURACY - Reduces human error. innovation - Enables breakthroughs across industries.  Challenges & ethical considerations (cons) bias & fairness - Risks of perpetuating bias. privacy - Handling sensitive data. job displacement - Impact on employment.  (PAST) PIONEERS WHO PLAYED CRUCIAL ROLES IN LAYING THE GROUNDWORK 1912 -1954 Father of computer science 1927- 2011 Developed the concept of a “universal machine” known as the Turing machine in the 1930s. 1927-2016 His work laid the foundation for computational theory and posed questions about machine intelligence. Such as in his famous Turing 1916 -2001 Test, which assesses a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior. 1916-2001 1927-1992 1912 -1954 He coined the term “artificial intelligence” in 1956. 1927- 2011 He organized the first AI conference which is considered the birth of AI as a field of study. 1927-2016 Along with McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon they have proposed the idea that 1916 -2001 "Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it." 1916-2001 1927-1992 1912 -1954 1927- 2011 1927-2016 1916 -2001 Co-founder of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. 1916-2001 Made significant contributions to the theory of 1927-1992 AI and the development of early AI programs. 1912 -1954 1927- 2011 Known as the "father of information theory“. 1927-2016 His work on binary logic and information theory laid a foundation for digital circuits and computing, 1916 -2001 which are essential for AI systems. 1916-2001 1927-1992 1912 -1954 1927- 2011 1927-2016 1916 -2001 They developed the Logic Theorist in 1955. LOGIC THEORIST- considered the first artificial 1916-2001 1927-1992 intelligence program. It was capable of proving mathematical theorems.  CURRENT TRENDS Generative AI - produces various content types including text, imagery, audio and data. Natural language processing - enables computers to understand human language as spoken and written. Edge AI - deploys AI models on local edge devices for real-time. data processing without cloud reliance. Predictive analytics - makes future predictions using historical and statistical modeling. Computer vision - enables computers to interpret and analyze visual information like humans.  CURRENT TRENDS AI in robotics - revolutionizes how robots perform tasks through groundbreaking advancements. Ai in Personalized Recommendations - uses algorithms to analyze user preferences and behavior, delivering tailored suggestions for products, services, or content. Ai in Healthcare Diagnostics - leverages machine learning and data analysis to enhance accuracy, speed, and early detection of diseases. Fraud detection - identifies suspicious activity indicating criminal theft. Reinforcement learning - trains software through rewarding desired actions and punishing undesired ones.  THE FUTURE OF AI PREDICTIONS: increased integration in daily life OPPURTUNITIES: sustainable solutions, enhances creativity CHALLENGES: ethical regulations and AI governance Advancement Towards AGI - Progress is being made towards developing an artificial intelligence as smart as humans across all domains. Economic Impact - Artificial intelligence is impacting economies and jobs across industries by creating new opportunities but also displacing some existing roles. AI in Science & Research - Machine learning and deep learning are being used to analyze large amounts of data and accelerate scientific discovery and research. AI & Security - Securing artificial intelligence systems, data and models from cyber threats while also using AI to enhance security by detecting fraud and predicting cyber attacks.
