Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in


machines designed to think and act like humans. The term was first coined in 1955
by John McCarthy, a computer scientist who is often referred to as the father of
AI. The primary goal of AI is to create machines capable of performing tasks that
typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, decision-making,
language translation, and problem-solving.

AI can be classified into two categories: narrow AI (or weak AI) and general AI (or
strong AI). Narrow AI is specialized and designed to perform a specific task, such
as facial recognition or natural language processing. This type of AI is prevalent
in today's technology, including virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa. In
contrast, general AI refers to a hypothetical machine capable of performing any
intellectual task that a human can do. General AI is still a long-term goal and
remains largely theoretical.

AI is powered by various technologies, including machine learning (ML) and deep


learning (DL). Machine learning allows systems to learn and improve from experience
without being explicitly programmed. Deep learning, a subset of ML, uses neural
networks to model high-level abstractions in data. Both techniques are crucial for
advancements in areas like autonomous driving, medical diagnosis, and finance.

Despite the progress, challenges remain in AI development. Ethical concerns, such


as bias in AI models, data privacy, and job displacement due to automation, are
significant issues that need to be addressed. As AI continues to evolve, it holds
the potential to revolutionize industries and societies, but it also raises
critical questions about the future of work, governance, and human rights.
