Chap-1 Introduction To Artificial Intelligence
It is believed that AI is not a new technology, and some people say that as
per Greek myth, there were Mechanical men in the early days who could
work and behave like humans.
Why Artificial Intelligence?
With the help of AI, you can create such software or devices which can solve real-
world problems very easily and with accuracy such as health issues, marketing, traffic
issues, etc.
With the help of AI, you can create your personal virtual Assistant, such as Cortana,
Google Assistant, Siri, etc.
With the help of AI, you can build such Robots that can work in an environment where
the survival of humans can be at risk.
AI opens a path for other new technologies, new devices, and new Opportunities.
Goals of Artificial Intelligence
Replicate human intelligence
Building a machine which can perform tasks that requires human intelligence such as:
• Proving a theorem
• Playing chess
• Plan some surgical operation
• Driving a car in traffic
Creating some system which can exhibit intelligent behavior, learn new things by itself, demonstrate,
explain, and can advise to its user.
What Comprises to Artificial Intelligence?
To create the AI first we should know that how intelligence is composed, so the
Intelligence is an intangible part of our brain which is a combination of Reasoning,
learning, problem-solving perception, language understanding, etc.
High reliability: AI machines are highly reliable and can perform the same
action multiple times with high accuracy.
Advantages of Artificial Intelligence
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 AI technology is currently used by various E-commerce websites to show the
products as per customer requirement.
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
security purpose, Natural language processing to communicate with the human in
human-language, etc.
Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence
High Cost: The hardware and software requirement of AI is very costly as it requires
lots of maintenance to meet current world requirements.
Can't think out of the box: Even we are making smarter machines with AI, but still
they cannot work out of the box, as the robot will only do that work for which they
are trained, or programmed.
