The document discusses artificial intelligence (AI), covering its definition, history, goals, advantages, and challenges. It highlights the potential of AI to perform tasks with high precision and efficiency but also warns of dependency on machines and their lack of human-like qualities such as empathy and common sense. The future of AI remains uncertain, with ongoing research aimed at achieving human-level intelligence and understanding human cognitive abilities.

3. INTRODUCTION
Common definition: AI is
field which attempts to
build intelligent machine
and tries to understand
intelligence entities.
Ques: What is intelligence?
Answer: Learning manipulating facts, but also
creativity, consciousness, emotion and intuition.
Ques: Can machine be intelligent ?
Answer: Up to the present day it is not sure whether
it is possible to build a machine that has all aspects
of intelligence.
This kind of research is central in the field of AI.

4. HISTORY
McCarthy created the term "artificial
intelligence" and was a towering figure
in computer science at Stanford most of
his professional life. In his career, he
developed the programming language
LISP, played computer chess via
telegraph with opponents in Russia and
invented computer time-sharing.

5. THE GOALS
1. Deduction, reasoning, Problem solving
2. Knowledge Representation
3. Planning
4. Natural Language Processing
5. Motion and Manipulation
6. Perception
7. Social Intelligence
8. General Intelligence
9. Creativity
The goals of artificial intelligence are :

6. ADVANTAGES
1. With AI, the chances of
error are almost nil &
greater precision and
accuracy is achieved.
2. Artificial intelligence has made
daily life a lot easier like by use of
applications on phones or
computer that predict user actions
and also make recommendation
that user’s choice.
For eg: applications such as, GPS
and Maps applications etc
5. Fraud detection in smart
card-based systems is possible
with the use of AI. It is also
employed by financial
institution and banks to
organize and manage records

7. 4. The greatest advantage of artificial
intelligence is that machines do not
requires sleep or breaks, and are able to
function without stopping. They can
continuously perform the task without
getting bored or tired.
5. Machine do not need to receive a
pay check every month. While they
are quite costly to maintain and
power, this cost is greatly less than
what an entire company full of
human employees would have to
paid. The costs are also minimized
and controlled.

8. PROBLEMS FACED
Artificial intelligence is a gift, it is something extraordinary
but all glitters is not gold! It has its disadvantages as well.
• As you may have seen in many films
such as the matrix, robot or even kids
films such as WALL.E, if we rely on
machines to do almost everything for us
we have become so dependent, that if they
were to simple shut down.
• As they are machines they
obviously can’t provide you with
that ‘human touch and quality’,
the feeling of a togetherness and
emotional understanding, that
machines will lack the ability to
sympathies and empathize with
your situations

9. • It wouldn’t be too smart on
our part not to have some sort
of backup plan to potential
issues that could arise, if the
machines ‘got real smart’.
• Human beings are emotional
intellectuals. They think and feel. Their
feelings guide their thoughts this is not
the case with machines. The intuitive
abilities that humans possess, the way
humans can judge based on previous
knowledge, the inherent abilities that
have, cannot be replicated by machine.
Also, machine lack common sense.

10. Future of AI
AI is the best field for dreamers to play
around. It must be evolved from the thought
that making a human-machine is possible.
Though many conclude that this is not
possible, there is still a lot of
research
going on
in this field
to attain the
final objective.
There are inherent advantages of using
computers as they do not get tired or loosing
temper and are becoming faster and faster.
Only time will say what will be the future of
AI: will it attain human-level or above
human-level intelligence or not.

11. Why choose Artificial Intelligence?
• AI research is allowing us to understand our intelligence
behavior.
• Artificial intelligence aims to improve machine behavior
in tackling such complex tasks.
• For more complex problems, things get more difficult...
unlike humans, computers have trouble understanding
specific situations and adapting to new situations.
• Computers are fundamentally well suited to performing
mechanical computations, using fixed programmed rules.

12. CONCLUSION
AIis at the centre of a new enterprise to build
computational models of intelligence. The main
assumption is that intelligence (human or otherwise) can
be represented in terms of symbol structures and
symbolic operations which can be programmed in a
digital computer. There is much debate as to whether such
an appropriately programmed computer would be a mind,
or would merely simulate one, but AI researchers need
not wait for the conclusion to that debate, nor for the
hypothetical computer that could model all of human
intelligence. Aspects of intelligent behavior, such as
solving problems, making inferences, learning, and
understanding language, have already been coded as
computer programs, and within very limited domains,
such as identifying diseases of soybean plants, AI
programs can outperform human experts. Now the great
challenge of AI is to find ways of representing the
commonsense knowledge and experience that enable
people to carry out everyday activities such as holding a
wide-ranging conversation, or finding their way along a
busy street. Conventional digital computers may be
capable of running such programs, or we may need to
develop new machines that can support the complexity of
human thought.
