Key Concepts Covered in Class Definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI): Artificial Intelligence: The simulation of human
intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn. Core Branches of AI: Machine Learning (ML) Natural
Language Processing (NLP) Robotics Computer Vision History of AI Development: 1950s: Alan Turing introduces the
Turing Test. 1956: Dartmouth Conference - AI coined as a term. 1980s: Rise of Expert Systems. 2010s: Advances in
deep learning and big data. Machine Learning Basics: Definition: A subset of AI focusing on systems that learn and
adapt without explicit programming. Types of Machine Learning: Supervised Learning: Uses labeled data for training.
Unsupervised Learning: Analyzes patterns in unlabeled data. Reinforcement Learning: Systems learn by trial and error,
receiving rewards/punishments. Example Algorithms: Linear Regression Decision Trees Neural Networks Ethics in AI:
Key Ethical Concerns: Bias in AI algorithms. Privacy and data security. Employment displacement due to automation.
Frameworks for Ethical AI Development: Transparency Accountability Fairness Real-World Applications of AI:
