 INTRODUCTION OF AI

> Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of

human intelligence in machines, particularly computer
systems. AI involves the development of algorithms,
software, and hardware that enable computers to perform
tasks typically requiring human intelligence.

> These tasks can include problem-solving, learning from

experience, understanding natural language, recognizing
patterns, and making decisions.

> AI systems aim to mimic human cognitive functions and

are designed to adapt and improve their performance
with experience. AI can be categorized into different types,
including narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks,
and general AI, which has the ability to perform a wide
range of tasks at a human-like level.
HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF AI

>> 1940s~1950s: Birth of AI: The roots of AI can be traced back to the mid-
20th century. Pioneers like Alan Turing proposed the concept of a universal
machine capable of performing any computational task, while John von
Neumann's work on self-replicating automata contributed to the idea of
intelligent machines.

>> 1956 - Dartmouth Workshop: The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined
at the Dartmouth Workshop, where a group of computer scientists and
mathematicians convened to explore the possibilities of creating machines
that could simulate human intelligence. This event marked the official
beginning of AI as a field of study.
>> 1960s~1970's - Expert Systems and Rule-Based AI: This era saw the
development of expert systems, which used a knowledge base of rules and
reasoning algorithms to solve specific problems. Though promising, these
early AI systems were limited in their ability to handle complex real-world
scenarios.

>> 1980s - AI Winter: AI research faced a period of stagnation known as the

"AI Winter." Funding and interest in AI dwindled due to unmet expectations
and overhyped promises

>> 1980s~1990s: Resurgence with Machine Learning: The AI field saw a

resurgence with the rise of machine learning techniques, particularly neural
networks. Backpropagation algorithms and advancements in hardware led
to more capable AI systems.
>> 1997: Deep Blue vs. Kasparov: IBM's Deep Blue chess computer defeated
world chess champion Garry Kasparov, showcasing the potential of AI in
specialized domains.

>> 2000s~Present: Big Data and Deep Learning: AI entered a new era with
the availability of vast amounts of data and increased computational
power. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, has driven remarkable
progress in natural language processing, image recognition, and
autonomous systems.

>> Recent Developments: The 2010s saw the rise of AI applications in various
industries, from self-driving cars to healthcare diagnostics. Conversational
AI, like Siri and chatbots, became more sophisticated, and AI-driven
recommendation systems transformed industries like e-commerce and
entertainment.
 TYPES OF AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be categorized into several types based on its capabilities and
functions. The primary types of AI are

Narrow AI (Weak AI):

Also known as Weak AI, Narrow AI is designed for a specific task or a narrow set of tasks.
These systems are highly specialized and excel in a particular domain, but they lack general
intelligence.
Examples include virtual assistants like Siri, chatbots, and recommendation algorithms

General AI (Strong AI):

General AI, also called Strong AI, possesses human-like cognitive abilities and can perform any
intellectual task that a human can.
These AI systems have the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide
range of domains.
Achieving true General AI is a long-term goal of AI research and has not been realized yet.
Machine Learning (ML):
Machine Learning is a subset of AI that focuses on enabling machines to learn from data and
improve their performance on a specific task without being explicitly programmed.
It includes algorithms like linear regression, decision trees, and neural networks.
ML is widely used in tasks like data analysis, pattern recognition, and predictive modeling.
Systems have the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of domains.
Achieving true General AI is a long-term goal of AI research and has not been realized yet.

Deep Learning (DL):

Deep Learning is a subfield of Machine Learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers
(deep neural networks) to process and learn from vast amounts of data.
DL has been instrumental in breakthroughs in tasks like image and speech recognition.
Neural networks, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks
(RNNs), are common in deep learning.

Reinforcement Learning (RL):

Reinforcement Learning is a type of Machine Learning where an agent learns to make sequences
of decisions to maximize a reward.
RL is used in applications like game playing, robotics, and autonomous systems.
Supervised Learning:
A type of Machine Learning where the algorithm is trained on a labeled dataset, meaning it's
provided with input-output pairs.
The goal is for the algorithm to learn the mapping from inputs to outputs.
Common in tasks like image classification and language translation.

Unsupervised Learning:
Unsupervised Learning involves training an algorithm on unlabeled data to find hidden patterns
and structures in the data.
Clustering and dimensionality reduction are common applications of unsupervised learning.

Semi-Supervised Learning:
A hybrid approach that combines elements of both supervised and unsupervised learning.
It uses a small amount of labeled data and a larger amount of unlabeled data to train the
model.
Often used when obtaining a fully labeled dataset is expensive or time-consuming.
 CURRENT APPLICATIONS

Virtual Assistants and Chatbots:

Virtual assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and chatbots on websites provide natural language
interaction and assistance for users.
They are commonly used for answering questions, scheduling appointments, and providing
information.
