Introduction to Artificial intelligence (AI) Question: What is Artificial Intelligence ? Dictionary Definition 1955– NOUN Artificial Intelligence - Abbreviated AI-: The capacity of computers or other machines to exhibit or simulate intelligent behaviour; the field of study concerned with this. In later use also: software used to perform tasks or produce output previously thought to require human intelligence, esp. by using machine learning to extrapolate from large collections of data. Also as a count noun: an instance of this type of software; a (notional) entity exhibiting such intelligence. AI Early Definitions: During the Dartmouth Conference 1956, which is considered the first ever event of AI as a field, John McCarthy defined AI as "Artificial Intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.” Marvin Minsky (1969): "Artificial Intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men.” Nils J. Nilsson (1980): "Artificial Intelligence is that activity devoted to making machines intelligent, and intelligence is that quality that enables an entity to function appropriately and with foresight in its environment.” Why do you need to learn about AI?  Education Source: Stanford University, 2024 AI Index Report  Studying Artificial Intelligence (AI) is essential for various reasons: 1. Career Opportunities: many jobs will need us to understand how AI works so we can solve big problems. (Doctors use AI to diagnose patients, Managers uses AI to make decisions etc.) 2. Studying AI enhances critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. Learning AI fosters a growth mindset and equips individuals with skills that are highly transferable across different careers and disciplines Sources: LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise: https://business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/blog/trends-and-research/2020/jobs-on- the-rise-report World Economic Forum MIT Technology Review - The Learning Machines, 2018 Stanford University, 2024 AI Index Report  Job Market Source: Stanford University, 2024 AI Index Report Job Market Studying Artificial Intelligence (AI) is essential for various reasons: 3. AI contributes significantly to economic growth and productivity. Countries are investing billions in AI projects. AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. 4. Preparing for a future with AI requires education and awareness, ensuring that all members of society can participate in and benefit from technological advancements  Investmen t Sources 1.
