INTRODUCTION TO AI
Artificial Intelligence is made up of two words:
Artificial refers to something which is made or produced by human beings rather than
occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.
Intelligence refers to the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

Who coined the word Artificial Intelligence?

The word Artificial Intelligence coined by John McCarthy, who is one of the “founding fathers”
along with Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell, and Herbert A. Simon. McCarthy coined the
term “artificial intelligence” in 1955 and organized the famous Dartmouth Conference in Summer
1956. This conference started AI as a field.

Definition of AI
AI can be defined as the ability of computer systems i.e. hardware and software, to do tasks that normally
required human beings to use intelligence.

AI Domains
Human-Machines interactions
Human-machine interactions refer to the contact between humans and machines to fulfil a specific task or
operation. In human-machine interactions, hardware and software play a vital role in communication.
Data can be accessed through software and stored on storage devices.
In AI human-machine interactions done through the following domains:
1. Data
2. Computer Vision (CV)
3. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Data
Data can be the backbone of AI. Almost 98% of AI systems are dependent on data. As system
development grows processing of data also increases. This data can be in any form textual information,
audio, video, big data like predictions, insights, forecasts, decision making, etc.
Computer Vision (CV)
It is a field of science that deals with how computers gain a high level of understanding from digital
images or videos. The computer vision includes the following methods to produce information:
1. Acquiring Images
2. Processing Images
3. Analyzing Images
4. Understanding Images
Computer Vision is mainly used for Face recognition systems to recognize the faces in images and

Content-Based Image Retrieval systems identify images based on image properties like composition,
colour, texture etc. The application areas are search engines like google & bing, used in different CT
scans and MRIs in hospitals, etc.
Computer Vision IS also helpful in smart interactions to supply input to computers. It is mainly used in
games, systems designed for differently-abled individuals, etc.
Computer vision also helps in Environment Perception such as analyzing videos, images, or video feeds
for identifying patterns and perceiving the environment. Application areas are Home security systems,
Office security systems, Drone-based surveillance systems etc.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
The programming languages work on their own principles, syntax, and keywords. The aim of NLP is
developing such systems that work on human natural language on oral as well- spoken language.
It has two main components:

1. Natural Language Understanding (NLU): It is used for spoken or written language to

provide a link between natural language inputs and what they present. It analyses
different aspects of language.
2. Natural Language Generation (NLG): It helps to produce meaningful phrases and
sentences along with Text planning, Sentence Planning, and Text realization
Game 1: Semantris (Based on data)
Game 2: LUIS (Based on NLP)
Game 3: Microsoft Computer Vision
Smart City
Smart city refers to the city that use AI along with other digital and ICT based components to make life
of inhabitants better and more comfortable. In smart cities smart homes can connect with each other to
provide number benefits. Following are few benefits provided by smart cities:
1. Providing door step services
2. Communicate with each other
3. It has few censors

Smart citizens
Smart cities required smart citizens or may converted them into smart. Smart cities help government to
attain the sustainable development goals. It can reduce the wastage, save water, work on data of poverty
line etc. Smart citizens lives life smartly called smart living.
Smart Living
Smart living refers to using AI enabled technologies into daily life. It involves gadgets which are using
such sensors and alerts to deal with environmental conditions. Closing and opening the doors and
windows, maintaining room temperature etc.

The impact of AI on SDG

There are 17 SDG Goals adopted in the General Assembly in 2015 by the United Nations. It was built
upon "leaving no one behind" principle.
AI societal Impacts
AI-based system or tools can provide the best results on the following goals:
• No poverty (SDG - 1):
• Zero Hunger (SDG - 2):
• Good Health and Well Being (SDG - 3):
• Quality Education (SDG - 4): AI systems can be trained for quality education and can provide the
solution.
• Gender Equality (SDG - 5): AI tools don't recognize gender. In some areas, AI can result in negative
impacts also. For example, the AI systems or tools are trained based on the situation and requirements of
the country where they developed. The tools which are available such as

voice agents and chatbots like Alexa or Siri gendered as female only.

• Clean water and Sanitation (SDG - 6): AI tools can be used for supplying clean water and sanitation
to the people.
• Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG - 7): AI can be trained to provide affordable and clean energy
but the IA product design should require proper resources and tools.
• Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG - 11): AI is capable to create smart cities that provide
efficient resources to the people.
• Peace Justice and Strong institutions (SDG - 16): Justice and strong institutions based on the rules
formed by the different groups of people. So it is very highly impacted through AI. The tools can be
trained for the laws and enforcement according to the need.
• Partnerships for the goals (SDG - 17): AI can help to provide a partnership and support the partner to
achieve the goal
AI economic Impacts
 Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG - 8): The market heavily relies on data
analysis. These data may not available in low and middle-income countries. Hence the work
culture may be impacted.
 Industry Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG - 9): AI system helps in industry
innovation in terms of solving complex problems. It can handle complex operations easily. It
can also handle the infrastructural issues with advancement.
 Reduce Inequalities (SDG - 10): By using AI tools inequalities can be reduced as AI
tools do not have any emotions. They can produce the results better than other tools. If we take
the example of AI used by social media websites to show up the contents of users' interest in his
profile. Another example is job creation using AI tools.
AI Environmental Impacts
 Climate action (SDG - 13): AI can be useful in generating an alert in climatic situations.
It can produce the alerts and warn the concerned department about climate change and leads to
act accordingly.

 Life below water (SDG - 14): The life below water like animals living under the sea,
under the river plays an important role in maintaining temperature and makes the earth suitable
for all of us. AI can impact on these by recording their needs and improve the supply chain.
 Life on Land (SDG - 15): AI systems can be helpful for life on land as well. It can
promote the use of ecosystems through various platforms like social media, search engines, and
so on.
AI ethics
It refers to the basic principles of AI system design that use the good code of conduct and
produces the results. In other words ethics means what is right and unethical means what is wrong.
AI ethics are classified into two categories:

1. AI bias
2. AI access
Ethical concerns related to AI access
When AI is coming to your way, you need to think about data management. This is the first concern
because AI is mostly relying on data. The AI system is nothing without data. Whenever you think about
data you should think about their storage, collection, privacy and many more concerns.

Data Privacy
Where do we collect data from?
Why do we need to collect data?
When you install any app on your mobile what type of permissions the app is asking for?
So the answers are as following:
1. Contacts
2. Location
3. Email
4. Storage
5. Notes

Specific apps may ask specific permission to allow. These all data Google is using for the exchange of the
details whenever such apps are used in your mobile. Sometimes it improves user experience as well.
Components of a good AI Policy
 Transparent Policy – Clear guidelines and purposes for users
 Right of data collection – The data collected by the AI system must be right to the data
 Freedom of leaving the system – The freedom to leave the system anytime should be given to the
user
 Design – The design should be done in such a way that data collection and purpose should be
limited
 Data deletion – Data stored by users should be deleted when they leave the system
AI Bias
Bias in AI is when the machine gives consistently different outputs for one group of people compared to
another. Typically these bias outputs follow classical societal biases like race, gender, biological sex,
nationality or age.
As you have seen that most of the robots or assistants are available in female voice only. This is
because the computer system trained on the specific data and common observation for those kinds of
jobs.
But identification and understanding of such things are not an easy task. Sometimes the results
produced by these systems are also not up to the mark. It happens in AI systems because sometimes the
developer also cannot understand the behavior of these systems. They use the provided data and training
material. They never understand the data nor interpret them.
AI access
The AI access is a set of ethical concerns related to the adoption of AI systems.
1. Unemployment

AI adoption can increase the jobs and employment opportunities but on the other hand it reduces the
employment and takes many jobs from human being.

2. Increasing Inequalities
By adopting AI, results in a reduction in the number of people required for particular jobs. It will
definitely affect the economy and increase the gap in the economy hence increase inequalities.
3. Negative Adoptions
The negative minded community like hackers, terrorists and some other mafias can use this technology
for some other purposes and misuses them.
4. Black Box problem
The black box problem refers to the situation that is created by a system itself and the developer of system
cannot resolve them. This happens quite often with AI systems.
