What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) ?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to seemingly think for themselves by learning, reasoning, and solving problems like humans. An example is autonomous vehicles that can perceive their surroundings and safely navigate without human help. Advancing technologies are driving AI growth by enabling machines to communicate, capture data, process information, and make decisions within seconds. As AI evolves, machines will gain more ability to physically act based on their intelligence and potentially build improved versions of themselves.

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

Artificial Intelligence is the ability of machines to seemingly think for themselves. AI is


demonstrated when a task, formerly performed by a human and thought of as requiring
the ability to learn, reason and solve problems, can now be done by a machine. A prime
example is an autonomous vehicle. The vehicle is able to perceive its surroundings and
make decisions in order to safely reach its destination with no human intervention.
Converging technologies along with Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving
the growth of AI. Machines communicate with one another and are now capable of
advanced perception, capturing millions of data points in seconds, processing the
information and making decisions, all in a matter of seconds. As AI evolves, machines
will have more capability to physically act based on their intelligence, eventually leading
to machines that can build better versions of themselves.

A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence

AI research was founded in the summer of 1956 at Dartmouth College during a


workshop event. The excitement of machines becoming as intelligent as humans
quickly got funding for millions of dollars to make this dream a reality. As time went by,
the early pioneers rapidly realized how complex and complicated this task would be.

In 1973, the U.S and British Governments stopped funding the research project around
data structuring and learning algorithms. This period when the funding ceased was
known as "AI Winter" as progress slowed down and frustration grew. There were a few
on an off funded projects during AI Winter, but the momentum of AI development would
pick back up by the 21st century.

Excitement, investment, and interest in AI development boomed in the first decades of


the 21st century. The excitement and enthusiasm ignited around successful AI projects
in academia and industry with the assistance of more powerful computer hardware. The
time of new AI projects, data structuring, and artificial intelligence programming
language improvement led to the phrase "AI Summer".

In the present day, we see AI integrated into our everyday lives with personal
assistances. AI applications and intelligent machines like Siri, Alexa, Watson, Cortana,
and Google AI Assistant are all popular applications we use to conduct everyday tasks.
These assistances can be used to pull information from the web, turn on home
appliances, set reminders, talk to each other, and so much more. These types of
machine learning and intelligent systems assistants are ever evolving, so the demand
for engineers and computer scientists is at an all-time high for this market.

To meet with today's demand and need for AI experts, edX offers the best artificial
intelligence programs and computer systems online courses in the market. If machine
learning, deep learning, virtual assistants, and neural networks excite you, we have
proper courses to help advance your career.
