ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
There exist different definitions of AI, here is one acceptable definition.
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
AI is a machine’s ability to perform cognitive functions as humans do, such as perceiving,
learning, reasoning, and solving problems. The benchmark for AI is the human level
concerning in teams of reasoning, speech, and vision.
Goals of Artificial Intelligence
Here are the Goals of AI:
1. It helps you reduce the amount of time needed to perform specific tasks.
2. Making it easier for humans to interact with machines.
3. Facilitating human-computer interaction in a way that is more natural and efficient.
4. Improving the accuracy and speed of medical diagnoses.
5. Helping people learn new information more quickly.
6. Enhancing communication between humans and machines.

Subfields of Artificial Intelligence


Here, are some important subfields of Artificial Intelligence:
Machine Learning: Machine learning is the art of studying algorithms that learn from
examples and experiences. Machine learning is based on the idea that some patterns in the
data were identified and used for future predictions. The difference from hardcoding rules is
that the machine learns to find such rules.
Deep Learning: Deep learning is a sub-field of machine learning. Deep learning does not mean
the machine learns more in-depth knowledge; it uses different layers to learn from the data.
The depth of the model is represented by the number of layers in the model. For instance, the
Google LeNet model for image recognition counts 22 layers.
Natural Language Processing: A neural network is a group of connected I/O units where each
connection has a weight associated with its computer programs. It helps you to build
predictive models from large databases. This model builds upon the human nervous system.
You can use this model to conduct image understanding, human learning, computer speech,
etc.
Expert Systems: An expert system is an interactive and reliable computer-based decision-
making system that uses facts and heuristics to solve complex decision-making problems. It is
also considered at the highest level of human intelligence. The main goal of an expert system
is to solve the most complex issues in a specific domain.
Fuzzy Logic: Fuzzy Logic is defined as a many-valued logic form that may have truth values of
variables in any real number between 0 and 1. It is the handle concept of partial truth. In real

false.
