Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to machines designed to simulate human intelligence, learning, and problem-solving abilities. Its applications span various sectors, including finance, medicine, telecommunications, and gaming, demonstrating the essential role it plays in modern technology. Core problems in AI research include programming for knowledge, reasoning, and planning to create effective intelligent systems.

1. 1
What is 'Artificial Intelligence - AI’:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a term for simulated intelligence in machines. These machines are
programmed to "think" like a human and mimic the way a person acts. The ideal characteristic of artificial
intelligence is its ability to rationalize and take actions that have the best chance of achieving a specific
goal, although the term can be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind,
such as learning and solving problem.
“The theory and development of computer systems able to perform
tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception,
speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between
languages.”
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. It has
become an essential part of the technology industry.
Research associated with artificial intelligence is highly technical and specialized. The core problems of
artificial intelligence include programming computers for certain traits such as:
 Knowledge
 Reasoning
 Problem solving
 Perception
 Learning
 Planning
 Ability to manipulate and move objects
Applications of Artificial Intelligence:
Following are the Application of Artificial Intelligence:
 Fniance
 Hospitals and Medicines
 Heavy Industry
 Online and TCS
 Telecommunications maintenance
 Video Games
 Military
 Space Science
 Music
Finance:
Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations, invest in stocks, and manage properties.
In August 2001, robots beat humans in a simulated financial trading competition.

Medicine:
 A medical clinic can use AI systems to organize bed schedules, make a staff rotation, and provide
medical information.
 AI has also application in fields of cardiology (CRG), neurology (MRI), embryology (monographs),
complex operations of internal organs etc.
Social Sites:
 Facebook wants to analyze the way people communicate with one another so that it can add new
features to its services or even automatically remove offensive posts that might occur when a high-
profile celebrity like Angelina Joli posts a selfie.
Robotics:
 Robots are physical agents that perform tasks by manipulating the physical world . Robots are
manufactured as hardware. The control of robot is AI (in the form of software agent) that reads data
from the sensors decides what to do next and then directs the effectors to act in the physical world.
Heavy Industries:
 Huge machines involve risk in their manual maintenance and working. So in becomes necessary part
to have an automated AI agent in their operation.
 Robots are safe and efficient agent for it
 They are often given jobs that are considered dangerous to humans.
 Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or
accidents due to a lapse in concentration and other jobs which humans may find degrading
Telecommunications maintenance:
 Many telecommunications companies make use of heuristic search in the management of their
workforces,
 Ffor example BT Group has deployed heuristic search in a scheduling application that provides the
work schedules of 20,000 engineers.
Education: AI researchers have created many tools to solve the most difficult problems in computer
science
Gaming:
 AI hasalsobeenappliedtovideogames,forexample videogame bots,whichare designedto stand in as opp
onents where humans aren't available or desired

Music:
 Scientists are trying to make the computer emulate the activities of the skillful musician. Composition,
performance, music theory, sound processing are some of the major areas on which research in Music and
Artificial Intelligence are focusing.
Antivirus
 AI has played increasingly played important role in Antivirus detection.
 At present, some principle AI techniques applied in antivirus detection.
 It improves the performance of antivirus detection systems and promotes the production of new AI
algorithms and application in antivirus detection to integrate antivirus detection with AI.
