Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tutorial

The Artificial Intelligence tutorial provides an introduction to AI

which will help you to understand the concepts behind Artificial
Intelligence. In this tutorial, we have also discussed various popular
topics such as History of AI, applications of AI, deep learning,
machine learning, natural language processing, Reinforcement
learning, Q-learning, Intelligent agents, Various search algorithms,
etc.

Our AI tutorial is prepared from an elementary level so you can easily understand the complete
tutorial from basic concepts to the high-level concepts.

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

In today's world, technology is growing very fast, and we are getting in touch with different new
technologies day by day.

Here, one of the booming technologies of computer science is Artificial Intelligence which is ready
to create a new revolution in the world by making intelligent machines.The Artificial Intelligence is
now all around us. It is currently working with a variety of subfields, ranging from general to
specific, such as self-driving cars, playing chess, proving theorems, playing music, Painting, etc.

AI is one of the fascinating and universal fields of Computer science which has a great scope in
future. AI holds a tendency to cause a machine to work as a human.
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 Artificial Intelligence?

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 Artificial Intelligence
Following are the main goals of Artificial Intelligence:

1. Replicate human intelligence

2. Solve Knowledge-intensive tasks

3. An intelligent connection of perception and action

4. 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

5. Creating some system which can exhibit intelligent behavior, learn new things by itself,
demonstrate, explain, and can advise to its user.

What Comprises to Artificial Intelligence?

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
Advantages of Artificial Intelligence
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 Artificial Intelligence
Every technology has some disadvantages, and thesame goes for Artificial intelligence. Being so
advantageous technology still, it has some disadvantages which we need to keep in our 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.

Prerequisite

Before learning about Artificial Intelligence, you must have the fundamental knowledge of
following so that you can understand the concepts easily:

Any computer language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.(knowledge of Python will be an
advantage)

Knowledge of essential Mathematics such as derivatives, probability theory, etc.

Audience
