The Basics of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are
designed to think and act like humans. AI systems are capable of learning from data, recognizing
patterns, and making decisions.

Types of AI:
• Narrow AI: Designed to perform a specific task, like virtual assistants or
spam filters.
• General AI: Hypothetical systems that can perform any intellectual task a
human can.
• Super AI: A level of intelligence surpassing that of humans (currently
theoretical).

Applications:
• Healthcare: AI helps in diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and robotic
surgeries.
• Finance: Fraud detection, credit scoring, and algorithmic trading.
• Manufacturing: Predictive maintenance and automation.
• Daily Life: Voice assistants, facial recognition, and smart recommendations.

AI relies heavily on machine learning, deep learning, and big data. Ethical concerns
like bias, transparency, and job displacement are critical in AI development.

2. How the Internet Works

The Internet is a global network of computers that communicate using standardized protocols,
allowing users to send and receive data across vast distances.

Key Components:
• IP Address: A unique number assigned to each device.
• DNS (Domain Name System): Translates website names (like google.com)
into IP addresses.
• Servers and Clients: Servers host content; clients (like browsers) request it.
• Protocols: HTTP/HTTPS for websites, TCP/IP for data transmission.

How It Works:
1. You enter a website into your browser.
2. DNS finds the IP address of the site.
3. Your device sends a request to that server.
4. The server responds with the web page data.
5. Your browser renders the site.

Routers, modems, undersea cables, and satellites move this data worldwide.
Security layers like HTTPS and encryption keep your data safe.
