2. AI -What is it?
Artificial intelligence leverages computers and machines to
mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of
the human mind
Combines computer science and robust datasets, to enable
problem-solving. It also encompasses sub-fields of machine
learning and deep learning, which are frequently mentioned in
conjunction with artificial intelligence
3. Strong Vs Weak AI
Weak AI, also known as narrow AI, is designed and trained to
complete a specific task. Industrial robots and virtual personal
assistants, such as Apple's Siri, use weak AI
Strong AI, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI),
describes programming that can replicate the cognitive abilities
of the human brain. When presented with an unfamiliar task, a
strong AI system can use fuzzy logic to apply knowledge from
one domain to another and find a solution autonomously
5. Evolution-Key Dates
1950: Alan Turing publishes Computing Machinery and Intelligence.
1956: John McCarthy coins the term 'artificial intelligence' at the first-ever AI
conference at Dartmouth College
1967: Frank Rosenblatt builds the Mark 1 Perceptron, the first computer
based on a neural network that 'learned' though trial and error.
1980s: Neural networks which use a backpropagation algorithm to train itself
1997: IBM's Deep Blue beats then world chess champion Garry Kasparov, in
a chess match
6. Evolution-Key Dates
2011: IBM Watson beats champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter at
Jeopardy!
2015: Baidu's Minwa supercomputer uses a special kind of deep
neural network called a convolutional neural network to identify and
categorize images with a higher rate of accuracy than the average
human.
2016: DeepMind's AlphaGo program, powered by a deep neural
network, beats Lee Sodol, the world champion Go player
2022: A rise in large language models, or LLMs, such as ChatGPT
8. Pros
Good at detail-oriented jobs
Reduced time for data-heavy tasks
Saves labor and increases productivity
Delivers consistent results
Can improve customer satisfaction through personalization
Available 24*7
9. Cons
Expensive.
Requires deep technical expertise.
Limited supply of qualified workers to build AI tools.
Reflects the biases of its training data, at scale.
Lack of ability to generalize from one task to another.
Eliminates human jobs, increasing unemployment rates
10. Types
Reactive machines -AI systems have no memory and are task-
specific (Chess)
Limited memory -AI systems have memory, so they can use
past experiences to inform future decisions (Self driving car)
Theory of mind - When applied to AI, it means the system would
have the social intelligence to understand emotions
Self-awareness. In this category, AI systems have a sense of
self, which gives them consciousness.

15. Deep Learning
Deep Learning is a subfield of Machine Learning that involves the use of neural
networks to model and solve complex problems
Neural network - method that teaches computers to process data in a way that is
inspired by the human brain.
Neural networks (ANNs) are comprised of a node layers, containing an input
layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer.
A neural network that consists of more than three layers—which would be
inclusive of the inputs and the output—can be considered a deep learning
algorithm.
