Artificial Intelligence (AI)

What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?


Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in
machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions.
The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated
with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving.

The ideal characteristic of artificial intelligence is its ability to rationalize and


take actions that have the best chance of achieving a specific goal.

Understanding Artificial Intelligence


When most people hear the term artificial intelligence, the first thing they
usually think of is robots. That's because big-budget films and novels weave
stories about human-like machines that wreak havoc on Earth. But nothing
could be further from the truth.

Artificial intelligence is based on the principle that human intelligence can be


defined in a way that a machine can easily mimic it and execute tasks, from
the most simple to those that are even more complex. The goals of artificial
intelligence include learning, reasoning, and perception.

As technology advances, previous benchmarks that defined artificial


intelligence become outdated. For example, machines that calculate basic
functions or recognize text through optimal character recognition are no longer
considered to embody artificial intelligence, since this function is now taken for
granted as an inherent computer function.

AI is continuously evolving to benefit many different industries. Machines are


wired using a cross-disciplinary approach based in mathematics, computer
science, linguistics, psychology, and more.

 
Algorithms often play a very important part in the structure of artificial
intelligence, where simple algorithms are used in simple applications, while
more complex ones help frame strong artificial intelligence.

Applications of Artificial Intelligence


The applications for artificial intelligence are endless. The technology can be
applied to many different sectors and industries. AI is being tested and used in
the healthcare industry for dosing drugs and different treatment in patients,
and for surgical procedures in the operating room.
Other examples of machines with artificial intelligence include computers that
play chess and self-driving cars. Each of these machines must weigh the
consequences of any action they take, as each action will impact the end
result. In chess, the end result is winning the game. For self-driving cars, the
computer system must account for all external data and compute it to act in a
way that prevents a collision.

Artificial intelligence also has applications in the financial industry, where it is


used to detect and flag activity in banking and finance such as unusual debit
card usage and large account deposits—all of which help a bank's fraud
department. Applications for AI are also being used to help streamline and
make trading easier. This is done by making supply, demand, and pricing of
securities easier to estimate.
