AI Handbook - Comprehensive Notes

Unit 1: Introduction - AI for Everyone

1. Introduction to AI

Definition:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that
are programmed to think and learn. AI systems can perform tasks typically requiring
human intelligence, such as decision-making, language understanding, and pattern
recognition.

Core Processes of AI:


 - Learning: The ability to acquire and apply knowledge from experience or data.
 - Reasoning: The ability to apply rules logically to reach conclusions.
 - Self-Correction: The ability to refine processes based on feedback.
2. Evolution of AI

Historical Milestones:
 - Ancient Concepts: Ancient myths and automation (e.g., Greek myth of Talos).
 - 1950s:

- Alan Turing’s "Turing Test" to evaluate machine intelligence.

- John McCarthy coined the term "Artificial Intelligence."

 - 1960s-1970s:

- Development of expert systems (AI programs designed for specific tasks).

 - 1980s-1990s:

- "AI Winter" due to funding cuts and stagnation.

 - 2000s-Present:

- Advances in machine learning, deep learning, and AI applications.


3. Types of AI
 - Narrow AI (Weak AI): Performs specific tasks efficiently (e.g., Siri, Chatbots).
 - General AI (Strong AI): Machines with human-like cognitive abilities (still under
development).
 - Super AI: Hypothetical AI surpassing human intelligence and capabilities.
4. AI Domains

Key Domains of AI:


 - Data Science: Deals with data collection, processing, and analysis.
 - Natural Language Processing (NLP): Helps machines understand and generate human
language (e.g., Google Translate, chatbots).

recognition, autonomous vehicles).
5. AI Terminologies
 - Machine Learning (ML): AI learns from data and improves performance.
 - Deep Learning (DL): A subset of ML using neural networks to mimic the human brain.
 - Reinforcement Learning: AI learns through rewards and penalties.
