Intro To Artificial Intelligence
Intelligence is a combination of information and reasoning. AI is not natural Intelligence but behaves
like human Intelligence. AI is a human-made machine which works like the human brain.
Examples of AI:
1) AI based self-driven cars can identify humans, animals. It stops at a red signal and starts wipers in
rain.
2) AI based robots can communicate in human language and interact like human beings. Example
Sophia
AI is Not
AI is a machine that works like the human brain but it isn’t natural intelligence, so it has some
limitations.
1) AI doesn’t have emotional intelligence like human beings.
2) AI doesn’t mean automation. If machines work automatically, it doesn’t mean AI. Until a machine
makes decisions by itself, we can’t AI.
The Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence are two distinct concepts that complement each other.
IoT devices provide the data for AI systems to analyze, learn from, and automate. While IoT focuses on
connectivity and automation, AI focuses on analysis, interpretation, and decision-making.
Nowadays we have smartphones, smart televisions, smart calendars, smart cards etc. These
appliances basically work on technology which is a part of Artificial Intelligence. Meanwhile in the
new technological world you hear words like big data, machine learning, neural networks etc. These
all words are directly or indirectly connected to Artificial Intelligence.John McCarthy is one of the
"founding fathers" of artificial intelligence, together with Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell,
and Herbert A. Simon. McCarthy coined the term"artificial intelligence" in 1956.
Definition of AI:
AI can be defined as the ability of computer systems i.e. hardware and software, to do tasks that
normally require human beings to use intelligence.
