Artificial Intelligence

What is Artificial Intelligence?

➢ The study of computer systems that attempts to model and apply the intelligence of the human mind.

➢ The capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior.

➢ A branch of a computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computer.

➢ Some of the activities computers with AI are designed for include:

  • Speech recognition
  • Learning
  • Planning
  • Problem solving

Philosophy of AI

➢ While exploiting the power of the computer systems, the curiosity of human, lead him to wonder, “Can a machine think and behave like humans do?”

➢ Thus, the development of AI started with the intention of creating similar intelligence in machines that we find and regard high in humans.

Philosophy of AI

Early History of AI

➢ Early 1940’s — Invention of Modern Computer

➢ Early 1950’s — Computational Statistics

➢ Mid 1950’s — Machine Learning

➢ In 1958 — Birth of Artificial Intelligence

➢ Mid 1960’s — Natural Language processing

➢ Late 1960’s — Computer Vision

➢ Late 1970’s — Robotics

➢ 1990–2000 — Data Mining / Data Science

➢ Early 2010’s — Deep Learning

Components of AI

Programming Without AI

➢ A computer program without AI can answer the specific questions it is meant to solve.

➢ Modification in the program leads to change in its structure.

➢ Modification is not quick and easy. It may lead to affecting the program adversely.

Programming With AI

➢ A computer program with AI can answer the generic questions it is meant to solve.

➢ AI programs can absorb new modifications by putting highly independent pieces of information together. Hence you can modify even a minute piece of information of program without affecting its structure.

➢ Quick and Easy program modification.

Pros and Cons of AI

Pros & Cons

Pros

➢ Precision and Accuracy

➢ Space Exploration.

➢ Used for Mining Process.

➢ Fraud Detection.

➢ Robotic Pet and Robotic Radio Surgery.

➢ Diagnosis and Treatment.

Cons

➢ Lack of the human touch.

➢ Lack of the creative mind.

➢ Lack of the common sense.

➢ Unemployment.

➢ Abilities of humans may diminish.

➢ Over dependency of humans on machine.

Current status of AI

We can see AI in all around us like:

➢ In Robotics

➢ In Video Games Characters

➢ In Face Recognitions

➢ In using Siri/Cortana

Current status of AI

Future of AI

We’ll see AI in future in different fields like:

➢ Military Bots

➢ Driverless Cars

➢ In Health Care

➢ Smart Homes

➢ Office Works

Future of AI

Conclusion

➢ Finally we can say that AI is the intelligence of the machine in the branch of computer science that aims to create it.

➢ John McCarthy who coined the term “Science and Engineering are making the Intelligent Machines”.

➢ Games with no AI?

  • Not possible!
  • Every game with computer controlled characters/opponents uses some source of AI.
