Definition:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the name for computer science that focuses on intelligent machines that can
perform tasks that require human intelligence to enable machines to learn, measure, monitor and interact
with their environment and includes AI technology along with machine learning. It improves performance
through data analysis and deep learning, a branch of machine learning that uses multiple neurons. AI also
includes robotics, natural language processing, computer vision, and other related fields. Artificial
intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science dedicated to creating systems and machines that can
perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include understanding natural
language, recognizing patterns, solving problems, learning from experience, and making decisions. They
are diverse and continually expanding, driving innovation and efficiency in numerous fields. Its ability to
analyze large datasets, learn from patterns, and make autonomous decisions makes it a powerful tool
across various domains.

Introduction :
Artificial intelligence has two words: artificial and intelligence. Here, artificial
explains "artificially created" and artificially refers to "intelligent ability", so AI means
"intelligent artificial intelligence”. We are witnessing huge technological advances and artificial
intelligence (AI) is at the center of this change. The goal of
artificial intelligence (AI) is to make machines smart enough to perform tasks that
humans need to know. It has become a revolutionary force that is changing our lives
and redefining how we use technology. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of
computer science dedicated to creating systems that can perform tasks that require
human intelligence. These activities include learning, reasoning, problem solving, understanding
natural language, pattern recognition, and decision making. The goal
of AI is to develop intelligent experts who understand their environment, process
information, and perform tasks to achieve specific goals. AI encompasses several
key areas, including machine learning, where systems improve their performance based on data;
natural language processing, which allows machines to understand
and generate human language; computer vision, enabling machines to interpret
visual information; and robotics, which combines AI with physical machines to perform tasks
autonomously.AI has a wide range of applications across numerous
industries, enhancing capabilities and efficiency in fields such as healthcare,
finance, transportation, retail, entertainment, and more. As AI technology continues to advance, it
brings both opportunities and challenges, including ethical
considerations related to bias, privacy, job displacement, and ensuring that AI systems are aligned
with human values.

History of Artificial Intelligence:

The concept of AI dates back to ancient times, when myths and legends depicted artificial beings
as human. However, the modern history of AI began in the mid-20th century. The Dartmouth
conference in 1956 marked the birth of AI as a formal academic field led by pioneers such as
John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, and Allen Newell. Over the years, AI has seen a period of great
progress and innovation. Active research activities. In the 1950s and 1960s, researchers focused
on predictive
AI, developing expert systems that use logical rules to solve problems. In the 1980s
and 1990s, the emergence of machine learning shifted the model to a statistical approach,
allowing computers to learn from data. In recent years, AI has experienced tremendous growth,
thanks to big data, the availability of powerful computing resources, and innovations in deep
learning technologies. This has led to incredible achievements in areas such as computer vision,
natural language processing, self-driving cars and intelligent assistants, bringing AI into the
mainstream and revolutionizing several industries.

Types of Artificial Intelligence:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be classified in various ways based on different criteria, such as
capability, functionality, and techniques. Here's an in-depth look at the different types of AI:

 Based on Capability:

1. Narrow AI :

 Narrow AI is designed and trained to perform a specific task or a narrow range of tasks.

 Characteristics:

 Limited to predefined functions.

 Operates under specific conditions and cannot generalize beyond its training.

 Examples:-

 Voice Assistants: Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant can understand and respond to voice
commands.
  Recommendation Systems: Netflix’s movie recommendations, Amazon’s product
suggestions.
 Image Recognition: Systems that identify objects in images, such as facial recognition
technology.

2. General AI (Strong AI):

 General AI refers to a theoretical type of AI that has the ability to understand, learn, and
apply intelligence across a wide range of tasks at a human level.

 Characteristics:

• Capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can do.

• Possesses cognitive abilities similar to humans, including reasoning, problem-solving,
and learning from experience.

 Status:

 Currently not realized.

 Remains a goal for future AI research.

3. Superintelligent AI:

 Super intelligent AI surpasses human intelligence in all aspects, including creativity,

problem-solving, and emotional intelligence.

 Characteristics:

• Exhibits superior performance in every field of knowledge.

• Capable of solving complex problems that are beyond human capabilities.

 Status:

 Hypothetical and speculative.

 Not yet achieved or clearly defined.

 Based on Functionality:

1. Reactive Machines:

Reactive machines are AI systems that can respond to specific stimuli but do not have memory-
based functionality.
 Characteristics:

• Cannot learn from past experiences.

• Operate solely based on current data inputs.

• Lack the ability to use past information to influence future decisions.

 Examples:

 IBM’s Deep Blue: Chess-playing computer that defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997.
 Google’s AlphaGo: Plays the game of Go based on immediate board configurations
without learning from past games.

2. Limited Memory:

 Limited memory AI systems can use past experiences and data to make decisions.

 Characteristics:

• Retain information for a short period.

• Use historical data to improve decision-making.

 Examples:

 Self-Driving Cars: Use sensors and historical data to navigate and make driving decisions.
 Chatbots: Use past interactions to provide more accurate responses in future
conversations.

3. Theory of Mind:

 Theory of Mind AI refers to systems that understand emotions, beliefs, and thought
processes of humans and other entities.

 Characteristics:

• Capable of social interactions.

• Understand human emotions, needs, and beliefs.

 Status:

 Mostly in research and development.

 Not yet fully realized.
4. Self-Aware AI:

 Self-aware AI systems possess self-consciousness and awareness of their own existence.

 Characteristics:

• Have a sense of self.

• Understand their own state and existence.

 Status:

 Theoretical and not achieved.
