A Brief History of AI
The desire to comprehend and construct intelligent beings has been present since ancient times,
as evidenced by myths and tales featuring clever machines and synthetic creatures crafted by
various civilizations around the globe. But it wasn’t until the mid-20th century that “Artificial
Intelligence” emerged as a formal scientific field. This defining moment occurred in 1950 when
Alan Turing posed the famous question, “Can machines think?” — opening up a world of
endless possibilities.
Milestones in AI Development:
1950s: The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956.

the decision-making ability of a human expert — and increased funding from Japan’s Fifth
1990s-2000s: Remarkable achievements such as IBM’s Deep Blue defeating world chess
champion Garry Kasparov and advancements in speech recognition set new benchmarks for
The story of Artificial Intelligence is one characterized by ups and downs, with periods of
optimism followed by disappointment. Each cycle, however, brought about small improvements
Artificial Intelligence has gone through several phases of development, each with its own
significant advancements and increased capabilities. Let’s take a closer look at these stages:
1. The Formative Years (1950s — 1970s)
In the early days, AI research focused on problem-solving and symbolic methods. The Logic
Theorist and ELIZA are examples of pioneering programs from this era. Researchers aimed to

abilities of a human expert. This led to increased commercial interest and investments,
Once again, the hype outpaced the reality leading to another period of reduced funding and
With advancements in computing power and algorithms, machine learning became the driving
force behind AI. Notable events include IBM’s Deep Blue defeating chess champion Garry
The advent of deep learning has revolutionized AI’s capabilities, particularly in image and
speech recognition tasks. Neural networks have become more sophisticated, enabling machines
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently at a crucial point in its history, with its applications
spreading across every industry. You can see the impact of AI in various aspects of your life:
Healthcare: AI helps with diagnosing diseases, creating personalized treatment plans, and
Finance: Algorithms powered by AI make real-time trading decisions and detect fraudulent
activity.
Manufacturing: Robotics systems driven by AI increase efficiency and reduce human errors in
Artificial Intelligence is not just a part of computer science even it's so vast and requires lots of
other factors which can contribute to it. To create the AI first we should know that how
etc.
To achieve the above factors for a machine or software Artificial Intelligence requires the
following discipline:
• Mathematics
• Biology
• Psychology
• Sociology
• Computer Science
• Neurons Study
• Statistics
Fig 1.1 AI
Artificial Intelligence can be categorized in several ways, primarily based on two main criteria:
specific task with intelligence. For example, think of Apple's Siri. It's pretty smart when it
comes to voice commands and answering questions, but it doesn't understand or do much
beyond that. Narrow AI operates within strict limits, and if you ask it to step outside its
comfort zone, it might not perform as expected. This type of AI is everywhere in today's
another example of Narrow AI. It's a supercomputer that combines Expert Systems,
Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing, but it's still a specialist. It's excellent
at crunching data and providing insights but doesn't venture far beyond its defined tasks.
2. General AI: General AI, often referred to as Strong AI, is like the holy grail of
Artificial intelligence. Picture it as a system that could do any intellectual task with the
efficiency of a human. General AI aims to create machines that think and learn like
humans, but here's the catch: there's no such system in existence yet. Researchers
worldwide are working diligently to make it a reality, but it's a complex journey that will
3. Super AI: Super AI takes AI to another level entirely. It's the pinnacle of machine
These machines can think, reason, solve puzzles, make judgments, plan, learn, and
a hypothetical concept.
1. Reactive Machines: Reactive Machines represent the most basic form of Artificial
Intelligence. These machines live in the present moment and don't have memories or past
experiences to guide their actions. They focus solely on the current scenario and respond
with the best possible action based on their programming. An example of a reactive
machine is IBM's Deep Blue, the chess-playing computer, and Google's AlphaGo, which
2. Limited Memory: Limited Memory machines can remember some past experiences or
data but only for a short period. They use this stored information to make decisions and
These vehicles store recent data like the speed of nearby cars, distances, and speed
3. Theory of Mind: Theory of Mind AI is still in the realm of research and development.
These AI systems aim to understand human emotions and beliefs and engage in social
interactions much like humans. While this type of AI hasn't fully materialized yet,
researchers are making significant strides toward creating machines that can
emotions, and self-awareness. They'll be smarter than the human mind itself. However,
it's crucial to note that Self-Awareness AI remains a hypothetical concept and does not
• High Accuracy with less errors: AI machines or systems are prone to less errors and
high accuracy as it takes decisions as per pre-experience or information.
• High reliability: AI machines are highly reliable and can perform the same action
• Useful for risky areas: AI machines can be helpful in situations such as defusing a
bomb, exploring the ocean floor, where to employ a human can be risky.
• Digital Assistant: AI can be very useful to provide digital assistant to the users such as
• Useful as a public utility: AI can be very useful for public utilities such as a self-
driving car which can make our journey safer and hassle-free, facial recognition for
human-language, etc.
• Enhanced Security: AI can be very helpful in enhancing security, as It can detect and
respond to cyber threats in real time, helping companies protect their data and systems.

Intelligence Research Laboratory at Penn State University. "I say 'thought,' because nobody is
Honavar describes two main categories of intelligence. There's narrow AI, which is achieving
competence in a narrowly defined domain, such as analyzing images from X-rays and MRI
scans in radiology. Artificial general intelligence, in contrast, describes much more human like
thinking processes, like the ability to learn about anything and to talk about it. "A machine
might be good at some diagnoses in radiology, but if you ask it about baseball, it would be
clueless," Honavar explains. Humans' intellectual versatility "is still beyond the reach of AI at
this point."
According to Honavar, there are two key pieces to AI models. One of them is the engineering
part — that is, building a computer program and computer systems that utilize intelligence in
some way. The other is the science of intelligence, or rather, how to enable a machine to come
up with a result comparable to what a human brain would come up with, even if the machine
achieves it through a very different process. To use an analogy, "birds fly and airplanes fly, but

"Even so, they both make use of aerodynamics and physics. In the same way, artificial
intelligence is based upon the notion that there are general principles about how intelligent
systems behave."
AI is "basically the results of our attempting to understand and emulate the way that the brain
works and the application of this to giving brain-like functions to otherwise autonomous
systems (e.g., drones, robots and agents)," Kurt Cagle, a writer, data scientist and futurist
who's the founder of consulting firm Semantical, writes in an email. He's also editor of The

Applications of AI
Artificial Intelligence has various applications in today's society. It is becoming essential for
today's time because it can solve complex problems with an efficient way in multiple
industries, such as Healthcare, entertainment, finance, education, etc. AI is making our daily
Following are some sectors which have the application of Artificial Intelligence:
1. AI in Astronomy
• Automated Celestial Object Identification: AI systems can automatically identify and
galaxies, and other cosmic phenomena. In simple words, AI can spot and sort out things in
space by looking at pictures. It's like having a cosmic detective that finds new stars,
• Exoplanet Hunting: AI helps astronomers find planets outside our solar system by
looking at lots of data. It can notice tiny changes in the light from stars, which tell us there
• Analyzing Space Information: AI plays a crucial role in the study of space. It assists
scientists by carefully examining vast amounts of complex data gathered from space
and connections that might be otherwise very difficult to notice. Essentially, AI acts as a
dedicated assistant, sifting through the cosmic data haystack to find the valuable needles of
knowledge.
• Watching Space Events in Real-time: AI-powered tools can keep a constant eye on
the night sky, looking out for sudden happenings like exploding stars (supernovae) or bursts
of powerful gamma rays. This allows scientists to quickly study these events in more detail
15
• Making Telescopes Smarter: AI is like a brain for telescopes. It helps them work
better by changing their settings on the fly. For example, if the weather gets cloudy or if
scientists want to study something specific in space, AI can adjust the telescope to get the
best results. It's like having a telescope that can think and adapt to the situation.
2. AI in Healthcare
• Helping Doctors See Inside the Body Better: AI is like a super helper for doctors
when they look at pictures of the inside of a patient's body, like X-rays or MRIs. It uses
smart algorithms to find things like problems, tumors, or broken bones very accurately. This
means doctors can figure out what's going on faster and more accurately, which is great for
• Detecting Health Problems Early: AI acts as a health detective. It looks at your health
information to find out if you might get certain diseases in the future. When it sees a high
risk, doctors can step in early to help you stay healthy. This is really important for
conditions like diabetes and heart problems because catching them at this time means better
treatment and less trouble for the patient.
in the lab. It uses certain algorithms to predict how different chemicals can fight diseases.
This helps us make new medicines much quicker and at a low cost. So people can get the
treatments they need sooner, and it doesn't cost as much money to manufacture them.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: AI looks at your health information, like your genes,
what happened to you before, and how you've responded to treatments. Then, it makes a
special plan just for you. This means your treatment works better and doesn't give you as
many problems. It's like having a personalized health coach, which helps in avoiding
16
• Managing Hospital Functions and Resources: AI acts like a manager for hospitals. It
helps with things like when patients come in, where to put resources like doctors and
supplies, and how to make sure everything runs well. It can even guess how many patients
might come in ahead of time, so hospitals use their staff and resources in the best way
Possible.
3. AI in Gaming
• Smart Game Characters: AI is like the brains behind game characters that aren't
controlled by players. They make these characters, called NPCs, act more like real
people or clever enemies. They can learn from what players do and change their behavior,
which makes games more exciting and lifelike. Imagine playing a game where the bad guys
learn and adapt to your moves - that's what AI does.
• Creating Game Worlds with AI: AI can make parts of video games all on its own. It
can create levels, maps, and places to explore without people having to make them by hand.
This means games can have bigger and more interesting worlds because AI does a lot of the
work, kind of like a game world builder. It helps game developers, too.
• Making Games Look and Feel Real: AI helps to make games look and act more like
the real world. They create graphics that look just like the things we see, and they make how
things move in games feel realistic, like in real life. They even guess what players might do
next so the game looks smooth and natural.
4. AI in Finance
• Identifying and Prevention of Fraud: AI keeps an eye on bank transactions all the
time. They act like super detectives who can spot strange things happening with money,
like someone using a credit card in a weird way. When they see something fishy, they
raise the alarm and help the bank stop bad people from stealing money. This happens

various algorithms to swiftly buy and sell stocks while analyzing all the market
information. This boosts trading strategies, making investments more efficient and
profitable.
• Risk Control: AI helps in examining lots of data to check how risky something is, like
giving out loans or making investments. It looks at things like whether someone can pay
back a loan or how safe an investment is. This helps banks and investment firms make
choices so they don't lose money and can help others save and grow their money.
5. AI in Data Security
• Anamoly Detection: AI works as a digital detective. It looks at big piles of data and
watches for anything strange or out of the ordinary, like someone sneaking into a digital
vault or trying to steal secrets. When it sees something fishy, it raises the alarm, helping
• Predicting Threats: AI looks at past troubles and keeps an eye on new dangers that are
popping up. By doing this, it can predict what bad things might happen in the future,
like a security breach or a cyberattack. This way, companies can get ready in advance t
protect their important data, sort of like putting up a strong fortress before any attack
Happens.
• Automated Safety Response: AI acts like a digital guardian that can respond when
there's trouble. If it sees something bad happening, like a cyberattack, it can automatically
take action. It might isolate the part that's under attack. This way, it keeps your important

Conclusion
Artificial intelligence has made huge advances recently due to more computing power, big
data, and better algorithms. AI can now match or beat humans at specific tasks like games,
image recognition and language processing. However, AI still lacks general intelligence and
common sense. More research is needed for AI to achieve complex reasoning, creativity and
social skills. As AI advances, policymakers need to address ethical concerns around risks and
significant benefits, including improved efficiency and new opportunities, but also presents
challenges such as job displacement and privacy concerns. As we look to the future, it is crucial
to continue exploring AI’s potential while addressing its ethical implications. By doing so, we
can harness AI to enhance human capabilities and contribute to a prosperous, inclusive future.
