AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently one of the hottest buzzwords in tech and with good reason. The last
few years have seen several innovations and advancements that have previously been solely in the
realm of science fiction slowly transform into reality.

Experts regard artificial intelligence as a factor of production, which has the potential to introduce new
sources of growth and change the way work is done across industries. For instance, this PWC article
predicts that AI could potentially contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2035. China and the
United States are primed to benefit the most from the coming AI boom, accounting for nearly 70% of
the global impact.

This tutorial provides an overview of AI, including how it works, its pros and cons, its applications,
certifications, and why it’s a good field to master.

What Is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to
think and act like humans. Learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language
comprehension are all examples of cognitive abilities.

Artificial Intelligence is a method of making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software


think intelligently like the human mind. AI is accomplished by studying the patterns of the human brain
and by analyzing the cognitive process. The outcome of these studies develops intelligent software and
systems.

For example, Natural Language Processing (NLP) uses AI to analyze and interpret human language in text
or speech. It enables applications like chatbots and virtual assistants to understand user queries, extract
meaningful information, and deliver accurate, context-aware responses, transforming unstructured
communication into actionable insights.

Weak AI vs. Strong AI

When discussing artificial intelligence (AI), it is common to distinguish between two broad categories:
weak AI and strong AI. Let's explore the characteristics of each type:

Weak AI (Narrow AI)

Weak AI refers to AI systems that are designed to perform specific tasks and are limited to those tasks
only. These AI systems excel at their designated functions but lack general intelligence. Examples of
weak AI include voice assistants like Siri or Alexa, recommendation algorithms, and image recognition
systems. Weak AI operates within predefined boundaries and cannot generalize beyond their specialized
domain.

Strong AI (General AI)

Strong AI, also known as general AI, refers to AI systems that possess human-level intelligence or even
surpass human intelligence across a wide range of tasks. Strong AI would be capable of understanding,
reasoning, learning, and applying knowledge to solve complex problems in a manner similar to human
cognition. However, the development of strong AI is still largely theoretical and has not been achieved
to date.

Types of Artificial Intelligence

1. Purely Reactive

These machines do not have any memory or data to work with, specializing in just one field of work. For
example, in a chess game, the machine observes the moves and makes the best possible decision to win.

2. Limited Memory

These machines collect previous data and continue adding it to their memory. They have enough
memory or experience to make proper decisions, but memory is minimal. For example, this machine can
suggest a restaurant based on the location data that has been gathered.

3. Theory of Mind

This kind of AI can understand thoughts and emotions, as well as interact socially. However, a machine
based on this type is yet to be built.

4. Self-Aware

Self-aware machines are the future generation of these new technologies. They will be intelligent,
sentient, and conscious.
