3. o What is AI?
AI is the study of ideas that enable computers to be
intelligent
Intelligence might be defined as the capacity to
acquire and apply knowledge
Ai is the part of computer science concerned with
design of computer systems that exhibit human
intelligence
4. o What’s involved in A.I?
o Ability to interact with the real world
to perceive, understand, and act
e.g., speech recognition and understanding and synthesis
o Reasoning and Planning
modelling the external world, given input
solving new problems, planning
o Learning and Adaptation
we are continuously learning and adapting
our internal models are always being “updated”
5. o Academic Disciplines relevant to
A.I
o Philosophy Logic, methods of reasoning
foundations of learning, language,
rationality.
o Mathematics Formal representation and proof, algorithms
o Probability/Statistics modelling uncertainty, learning from data
o Neuroscience neurons as information processing units.
6. o Psychology/ how do people perceive, process
o Cognitive Science information, represent knowledge.
o Computer building fast computers
engineering
o Control theory design systems that maximize an objective
function over time
o Linguistics knowledge representation, grammars
7. o History of A.I
1943: early beginnings
McCulloch & Pitts: Boolean circuit model of brain
1950: Turing
Turing's "Computing Machinery and Intelligence“
1956: birth of AI
Dartmouth meeting: "Artificial Intelligence“ name adopted
1950s: initial promise
Early AI programs, including
Samuel's checkers program
8. How can you tell whether a
machine or program is intelligent?
11. APPLICATIONS OF A.I.
o Natural Language Processing
(NLP).
o Speech recognition.
o Computer vision.
o Humanoid.
12. Natural Language Processing
o The goal of NLP is to enable people and computers
to communicate in a natural (humanly)
language(such as, English) rather than in a
computer language.
o The field of NLP is divided in 2 categories—
• Natural Language understanding.
• Natural Language generation.
13. Speech Recognition
o The primary interactive method of communication
used by humans is not reading and writing, it is
speech.
o The goal of speech recognition research is to allow
computers to understand human speech. So that they
can hear our voices and recognize the words we are
speaking.
14. Computer Vision
o People generally use vision as their primary means of sensing their environment, we generally
see more than we hear, feel or smell or taste.
o The goal of computer vision research is to give computers this same powerful facility for
understanding their surrounding. Here A.I helps computer to understand what they see through
attached cameras.
15. Humanoid/Robot
o A humanoid robot is a robot with its
body shape built to resemble the
human body.
o The design may be for functional
purposes, such as interacting with
human tools and environments, for
experimental purposes.
20. Do you believe artificial intelligence
(AI) benefits mankind (yes) or
detracts from it (no)?
21. Yes, artificial intelligence benefits the human
Technology offers benefits In my opinion
technology offers multiple benefits to mankind in
the form of various conveniences.
It also provides automation for many tedious or
complex processes.
