Artificial Intelligence ( AI) :
Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems. It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.
How Does AI Work?
Artificial intelligence systems work by using algorithms and data. First, a massive amount of data is collected and applied to mathematical models, or algorithms, which use the information to recognize patterns and make predictions in a process known as training. Once algorithms have been trained, they are deployed within various applications, where they continuously learn from and adapt to new data. This allows AI systems to perform complex tasks like image recognition, language processing and data analysis with greater accuracy and efficiency over time.
There are 3 basic categories of artificial intelligence:
-
Narrow AI: Artificial intelligence can be built for very specific tasks, such as playing a game, keeping spam out of your inbox, helping you find a nearby restaurant with your smartphone, or even driving your car.
-
General AI: With more resemblance to human capabilities, general artificial intelligence is a more advanced form that can involve visual and language processing, contextual understanding, and the ability to adapt to a range of tasks. It’s considered to be far off in the future.
-
Artificial super AI: Imagine a machine that’s smarter than you — much smarter. Artificial superintelligence is still only a theory, but advances in nascent AI are raising interesting and troubling questions for the future of humanity.
