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.
Goals of AI
To Create Expert Systems − The systems which exhibit intelligent behavior,
learn, demonstrate, explain, and advice its users.
To Implement Human Intelligence in Machines − Creating systems that
understand, think, learn, and behave like humans.
Q What is Expert System?
A computer program without AI can answer A computer program with AI can answer
the specific questions it is meant to solve. the generic questions it is meant to solve.
Applications of AI
AI has been dominant in various fields such as −
Gaming − AI plays crucial role in strategic games such as chess, poker, tic-
tac-toe, etc., where machine can think of large number of possible positions
based on heuristic knowledge.
Natural Language Processing − It is possible to interact with the computer
that understands natural language spoken by humans.
Expert Systems − There are some applications which integrate machine,
software, and special information to impart reasoning and advising. They
provide explanation and advice to the users.
Vision Systems − These systems understand, interpret, and comprehend
visual input on the computer. For example,
o A spying aeroplane takes photographs, which are used to figure out
spatial information or map of the areas.
o Doctors use clinical expert system to diagnose the patient.
o Police use computer software that can recognize the face of criminal
with the stored portrait made by forensic artist.
Speech Recognition − Some intelligent systems are capable of hearing and
comprehending the language in terms of sentences and their meanings while
a human talks to it. It can handle different accents, slang words, noise in the
background, change in human’s noise due to cold, etc.
Handwriting Recognition − The handwriting recognition software reads the
text written on paper by a pen or on screen by a stylus. It can recognize the
shapes of the letters and convert it into editable text.
Intelligent Robots − Robots are able to perform the tasks given by a human.
They have sensors to detect physical data from the real world such as light,
heat, temperature, movement, sound, bump, and pressure. They have
efficient processors, multiple sensors and huge memory, to exhibit
intelligence. In addition, they are capable of learning from their mistakes and
they can adapt to the new environment.
