What is Artificial Intelligence?
Lesson 1.1: What is Artificial Intelligence?
In this lesson, you'll be introduced to the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI), its goals, and how it powers modern solutions across industries.
🧠 Definition of AI
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): The simulation of human intelligence by machines, especially computer systems, enabling them to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
- Goals of AI: Understanding, reasoning, learning, and self-correction.
🌍 Real-World Applications
- Healthcare: Diagnosing diseases, analyzing medical images, personalized treatment recommendations.
- Finance: Fraud detection, credit scoring, algorithmic trading.
- Retail: Personalized recommendations, inventory forecasting, customer support bots.
- Transportation: Autonomous vehicles, traffic prediction, route optimization.
- Manufacturing: Predictive maintenance, quality control with computer vision.
🔧 Categories of AI Capabilities
- Narrow AI: Focused on a specific task (e.g., voice assistants, spam filters).
- General AI: Hypothetical AI with human-level cognition across all tasks.
- Strong AI vs Weak AI: Strong AI can fully mimic human intelligence (not yet realized), while Weak AI is task-specific.
📚 Related Technologies
- Machine Learning (ML): Enables systems to learn from data and improve over time without being explicitly programmed.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Enables machines to understand and generate human language.
- Computer Vision: Allows machines to interpret and process visual information from the world.
- Robotics: Combines AI with mechanical components to perform physical tasks.
🧠 Summary
- AI simulates human intelligence to perform tasks such as decision-making, visual perception, and language understanding.
- It's transforming industries by automating processes and enabling smarter solutions.
- AI capabilities range from narrow task-specific models to the theoretical concept of human-like general intelligence.
