Introduction to AI
Artificial Intelligence(AI)
In today's world, technology grooms very easily, and every day we get in contact with various new inventions, computers, apps, etc. Humans have created such wonderful gadgets that are small in size, high in speed, and can make life very simple, all of which are attributed to fast-growing technology.
Today, Artificial is one of the booming innovations in computer science.that is ready to create a new world revolution by machining brain machines. The Artificial Intelligence is circling us now. AI actually deals with a range of subfields, from general to particular, such as self-driving vehicles, playing chess, proving theorems, playing music, drawing, and so on.
AI is one of the fascinating and universal field of Computer science which has agreat scope in future.
AI holds a tendency to cause a machine to work as a human.
Let's first briefly understand what AI is. Artificial Intelligence is a computing technology that helps computers to learn from past experiences, moreover, it enables them to adjust to new data inputs. The objective of this technology is to enable a computer to accomplish homan-like activities.
AI makes computers "learn from a massive amount of data so that they can perform their desired tasks. This technology is completely different from rule-based automation, and it OSeS Technologies like Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Read more about AI in
"Artificial intelligence: what it is and why it matters".
The beginning of AI could be traced back to the war-time
work of British computer scientist Alan Turing, however, the word "Artificial Intelligence" first emerged in 1956. This was in the course of the Dartmouth Conference in the same year, organized by American computer scientist John McCarthy. The research on AI went through various ups and downs, and you can read "History of AI" to learn about them.
AI can be divided into two categories, and they are "Narrow AI" and "Artificial General Intelligence" (AGI).
You can find examples of narrow AI in many applications around you, e.g., Google search, image recognition software, Siri, Alexa, IBM's Watson, and self-driving cars.
Narrow AI uses machine learning and deep learning
extensively, and it's abuzz with various exciting developments. However, research is still in progress on AGI,
i.s., the category of AI that will create machines with human-level intelligence that will do any task. You can read more about these categories in "What is artificial intelligence?".
WHERE CAN YOU APPLY AI?
Some experts believe that AI will assume as much importance for us in the future as electricity since this technology will power a wide range of activities in society and business. Read more about this observation in "Why artificial intelligence is more important than you think".
THE GLOBAL MARKET FOR AI
Given the importance of AI and its wide use in various
sectors, it's no surprise that AI has a rapidly growing market. The following market research reports illustrate this well:
Marketsandmarkets projects that the global Ai market will reach $190.61 billion in 2025, from $16.06 billion in 2017, with a CAGR of 36.62%.
Statista estimates that the global market for AI will reach $118.6 billion in 2025, from $9.5 billion in 2018.
MarketWatch projects the global AI market to reach $191
billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 37% during the 20192024 period.
The key players in the global AI market are Intel, NVIDIA, Xilinx, Samsung. Facebook, IBM. Google, Microsoft, and AWS.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence is composed of two words Artificial and Intelligence where Artificial defines
"man-made," and intelligence defines "thinking power ", hence AI means "a man-made thinking power."
So, we can define AI as "It is a branch of computer science by which we can create intelligent machines which can behave like a human, think like humans, and able to make decisions."
Artificial Intelligence exists when a machine can have human based skills such as learning, reasoning, and solving problems
With Artificial Intelligence you do not need to preprogram a machine to do some work, despite that you can create a machine with programmed algorithms which can work with own intelligence, and that is the awesomeness of AI.
It is believed that AI is not a new technology, and some people says that as per Greek myth, there were Mechanical men in early days which can work and behave like humans.
Why AI?
Before Learning about Artificial Intelligence, we should know that what is the importance of AI and why should we learn it. Following are some main reasons to learn about AI:
With the help of AI, you can create such software or devices which can solve real-world problems very easily and with accuracy such as health issues, marketing, traffic issues, etc.
With the help of AI, you can create your personal virtual Assistant, such as Cortana, Google Assistant, Siri, etc.
With the help of AI, you can build such Robots which can work in an environment where survival of humans can be at risk.
AI opens a path for other new technologies, new devices, and new Opportunities.
Goals of AI
Following are the main goals of Artificial Intelligence:
Replicate human intelligence Solve Knowledge-intensive tasks An intelligent connection of perception and
action Building a machine which can perform tasks that requires human intelligence such as:
Proving a theorem Playing chess Plan some surgical operation Driving a car in traffic Creating some system which can exhibit intelligent behavior, learn new things by itself, demonstrate, explain, and can advise to its user.
What Comprises to AI
Artificial Intelligence is not just a part of computer science even it's so vast and requires lots of other factors which can contribute to it. To create the AI first we should know that how intelligence is composed, so the Intelligence is an intangible part of our brain which is a combination of Reasoning, learning, problem-solving perception, language understanding, etc.
To achieve the above factors for a machine or
software Artificial Intelligence requires the following discipline:
Mathematics Biology Psychology Sociology Computer Science Neurons Study Statistics.
"man-made," and intelligence defines "thinking power ", hence AI means "a man-made thinking power."

Advantages of AI
Following are some main advantages of Artificial Intelligence:
High Accuracy with less errors: AI machines or systems are prone to less errors and high accuracy as it takes decisions as per pre-experience or information.
High-Speed: AI systems can be of very high-speed and fast? decision making, because of that AI systems can beat a chess champion in the Chess game.
High reliability: AI machines are highly reliable and can perform the same action multiple times with high accuracy.
Useful for risky areas: AI machines can be helpful in situations such as defusing a bomb, exploring the ocean floor, where to employ a human can be risky.
Digital Assistant: AI can be very useful to provide digital assistant to the users such as AI technology is currently used by various E-commerce websites to show the products as per customer
requirement.
Useful as a public utility: AI can be very useful for public utilities such as a self-driving car which can make our journey safer and hassle-free, facial recognition for security purpose, Natural language processing to communicate with the human in human-language, etc.
Disadvantages of AI
Every technology has some disadvantages, and the same goes for Artificial intelligence. Being so advantageous technology still, it has some disadvantages which we need to keep in your mind while creating an AI system. Following are the disadvantages of AI:
High Cost: The hardware and software requirement of AI is very costly as it requires lots of maintenance to meet current world requirements.
Can't think out of the box: Even we are making smarter machines with AI, but still they cannot work out of the box, as the robot will only do that work for which they are trained, or programmed.
No feelings and emotions: AI machines can be an outstanding performer, but still it does not have the feeling so it cannot make any kind of emotional attachment with human, and may sometime be harmful for users if the proper care is not taken.
Increase dependency on machines: With the increment of technology, people are getting more dependent on devices and hence they are losing their mental capabilities.
No Original Creativity: As humans are so creative and can imagine some new ideas but still AI machines cannot beat this power of human intelligence and cannot be creative and imaginative.
