UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (PART ONE)

in #science7 years ago


Before going to the business of today i will like to say a bit about myself, i am a computer programmer and i am in to Artificial intelligence and Machine learning. I will like to enlighten and educate people about Artificial intelligence(AI) and Machine learning(ML).

Today i will be introducing you to AI(ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE). Firstly what is AI, i know some may already know what AI is but we will be looking at it critically.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence is a way of making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a
software think intelligently, in the similar manner the intelligent humans think.
AI is accomplished by studying how human brain thinks, and how humans learn, decide, and
work while trying to solve a problem, and then using the outcomes of this study as a basis of
developing intelligent software and systems.
Lets look at the philosophy of AI
While exploiting the power of the computer systems, the curiosity of human, lead him to
Wonder, “Can a machine think and behave like humans do?”
Thus, the development of AI started with the intention of creating similar intelligence in
machines that we find and regard high in humans.

Goals of AI
• To Create Expert Systems: The systems which exhibit intelligent behavior, learn,
demonstrate, explain, and advice its users.
• To Implement Human Intelligence in Machines: Creating systems that
understand, think, learn, and behave like humans.
Applications of AI
AI has been dominant in various fields such as:
• Gaming
AI plays crucial role in strategic games such as chess, poker, tic-tac-toe, etc., where
machine can think of large number of possible positions based on heuristic knowledge.
• Natural Language Processing
It is possible to interact with the computer that understands natural language spoken
by humans.
• Expert Systems
There are some applications which integrate machine, software, and special
information to impart reasoning and advising. They provide explanation and advice to
the users.
• Vision Systems
These systems understand, interpret, and comprehend visual input on the computer.
For example,
o A spying aeroplane takes photographs which are used to figure out spatial
information or map of the areas.
o Doctors use clinical expert system to diagnose the patient.
o Police use computer software that can recognize the face of criminal with the
stored portrait made by forensic artist.

• Speech Recognition
Some intelligent systems are capable of hearing and comprehending the language in
terms of sentences and their meanings while a human talks to it. It can handle different
accents, slang words, noise in the background, change in human’s noise due to cold,
etc.
• Handwriting Recognition
The handwriting recognition software reads the text written on paper by a pen or on
screen by a stylus. It can recognize the shapes of the letters and convert it into editable
text.
• Intelligent Robots
Robots are able to perform the tasks given by a human. They have sensors to detect
physical data from the real world such as light, heat, temperature, movement, sound,
bump, and pressure. They have efficient processors, multiple sensors and huge
memory, to exhibit intelligence. In addition, they are capable of learning from their
mistakes and they can adapt to the new environment.

I believe from this blog you have understand the concept of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
one our next episode(PART TWO), we will be looking at MACHINE LEARNING. Stay tuned...

A lot of good info in here, I look forward to reading part 2!

Thanks man for your review. this is just an intro into the main context. Are you interestend in in knowing more about AI??
