human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, learning from
experience, understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, and making
decisions.
AI technologies include machine learning, deep learning, natural language

processing, and computer vision, among others. They find applications in various
fields such as healthcare, finance, autonomous vehicles, and customer service, to
name just a few.
No.1
I) Do we need AI ?
There are negative and positive reasons for AI ,The following are the reasons why
we need AI
1. Efficiency and Automation;
AI has the potential to automate repetitive and mundane tasks,By

harnessing the power of AI, industries can achieve increased efficiency and
productivity, saving both time and resources.
2. Enhanced Decision Making;
AI can process vast amounts of data and provide valuable insights, enabling
more informed and data-driven decision-making. This can be especially useful in
fields like finance, healthcare, and business, where accurate and timely decisions
are crucial.
3. Advanced Problem Solving;
AI algorithms can analyze complex datasets and identify patterns or trends

that may be difficult for humans to comprehend. This ability can be applied to
various domains, such as climate modeling, disease diagnosis, and predicting
market trends.
4. Improved Personalization;
AI can analyze user behavior and preferences to provide personalized

recommendations and experiences. This can be seen in streaming platforms,
online shopping, and virtual assistants, where AI algorithms understand user
preferences and tailor their suggestions accordingly.
5. Scientific Advancements;
AI can significantly contribute to scientific research by modeling complex

systems and accelerating discoveries. It can aid in fields such as genetics, drug
discovery, climate modeling, and space exploration.
6. Safety and Security;
AI can enhance security measures by detecting anomalies, identifying

potential threats, and preventing cyber-attacks.ie by use of CCTV cameras which
detect intruders.
7. Assistive and Healthcare Technologies,
AI can assist individuals with disabilities by creating technologies like

prosthetics, exoskeletons
However there are reasons why we may not need AI and these are,
✓Economic Disruption;
AI has the potential to automate various jobs that are currently

performed by humans. This could lead to job displacement and economic
disruption.
✓ Human Connection;
As a result of AI, this leads to loss of connection among the people and
interactions as it takes over most of the roles and tasks which would have been
done by people.
✓. Ethical Concerns (bias and fairness)
AI raises ethical considerations and potential risks that can impact society.
Concerns include the potential for bias in decision-making algorithms, privacy
infringements through data collection.
✓Reliability and Trust;
AI systems heavily rely on data, algorithms, and models. Thus incase of any bias or
incorrect information can lead to loss of trust.
✓Human Creativity;
AI excels in tasks that are rule-based and programmed , thus can not deal with
things that require creavity hence it may not out way the human thinking.
ii)
Real world applications of Artificial intelligence.
Here are some examples:
✓ Healthcare;
AI can assist in diagnosing diseases, analyzing medical images (e.g., X-rays)

predicting patient outcomes, and personalizing treatment plans.
✓ Finance;
AI algorithms are used for fraud detection, credit scoring, algorithmic trading. For
example use of infra red to detect fake notes in the bank.
✓ Transportation;
AI powers self-driving cars and traffic management systems forexample traffic

lights on busy roads.
✓ Customer Service;
AI chatbots and virtual assistants can provide automated customer support,

handle inquiries, and offer personalized recommendations. For example Chart
GPT
√ Education;
AI can be used for adaptive learning, intelligent tutoring systems, automated

grading, and personalized learning platforms.ie in research for Detailed
information we can use chartbots
√ Manufacturing;
AI enables automation and optimization of production processes, quality

control,and many others for example making of cars ,robots can be used .
√ Agriculture;
AI helps in crop monitoring, yield prediction, pest detection, precision farming,

and autonomous farming equipment.
√ Online Recommendations;
AI algorithms personalize recommendations in e-commerce, streaming services,

social media platforms, and online advertising. For example Jumia has automated
response to the customes.
√ Cybersecurity;
AI is used for threat detection, anomaly detection, network security, and fraud
prevention.
iii)
Different sunsets of Airtifical intellegence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be broadly categorized into the following subsets:
a) Machine Learning;
Machine learning is a subset of AI that focuses on enabling computers to learn

from data without explicit(local) programming. It involves the development of
algorithms that allow systems to improve their performance through experience.
b) Deep Learning;
Deep learning is a specific subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural
networks, inspired by the structure of the human brain, to process and learn from
large amounts of data. ie helps in eye and face recogonition
c) Natural Language Processing (NLP):
NLP deals with the interaction between computers and human language. It
enables machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language,
facilitating tasks like language translation.
d) Computer Vision,
Computer vision focuses on enabling computers to understand and interpret

visual information from images or videos. It involves tasks such as object
detection, image recognition, and video analysis.
e) Robotics;
Robotics combines AI with mechanical engineering to create intelligent machines

capable of performing physical tasks. This field includes autonomous robots,
industrial automation, and robotic process automation.
f). Expert Systems;

Expert systems are AI systems built to emulate(copy) the decision-making
abilities of human experts in specific domains. They use rule-based systems and
knowledge representations to provide advice.
g) Narrow AI(Weak AI);
This form of AI is designed to perform specific tasks and is limited to a narrow

domain. Examples include voice assistant, image recognition software.
h) General AI(Strong AI)
General AI refers to AI systems that possess human-like intelligence and can

perform any intellectual task that a human being can do. However, developing
true general AI is still a theoretical concept and has not been achieved yet.
Machine learning with relationship to Airtifical intellegence.
Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the

development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computer systems
to learn from and make decisions based on data, without being explicitly
programmed.
In other words, it is a method by which computers can automatically learn and

improve from experience.
Machine learning algorithms are designed to analyze and interpret patterns in

data and make predictions based on those patterns.
These algorithms are trained on large amounts of data, known as training data,
which allows them to identify and learn patterns. The system then uses this
learned information to make decisions on new, unseen data.
There are different types of machine learning algorithms,
including
~supervised learning
~ unsupervised learning,
~reinforcement learning.
√ Supervised learning;
involves training the algorithm with labeled data, where the correct output is
known, to make predictions or classifications.
√Unsupervised learning;
This deals with unlabeled data, where the algorithm identifies patterns and
structures on its own.
√ Reinforcement learning;
Involves an agent interacting with an environment and learning through trial and
error to maximize rewards.
Machine learning has numerous applications, such as
* image and speech recognition,
*natural language processing
*Recommendation systems
* Fraud detection
*Autonomous vehicles
V) Areas of life where machine learning are most influential

1. Image and Speech Recognition: Machine learning algorithms are used in

applications such as facial recognition, object detection, and speech recognition.
This technology is utilized in various fields, from security systems and
autonomous vehicles to voice assistants.

failures and maintenance needs by analyzing sensor data in real-time. This helps
optimize maintenance schedules, reduce downtime, and improve operational
efficiency.
8. Financial Forecasting: Machine learning models are used to analyze historical

financial data and make predictions for stock market trends, exchange rates, and
