INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on creating
systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. It
encompasses a wide range of technologies, including machine learning,
natural language processing, and robotics.

A BRIEF HISTORY

The concept of AI dates back to the mid-20th century, with pioneers like Alan
Turing laying the groundwork. Major milestones in the field include:

• 1950s: Turing Test proposed to measure machine intelligence.


• 1960s-70s: Development of early AI programs and languages (e.g.,
ELIZA).
• 1980s-90s: The rise of expert systems that mimic human decision-
making.
• 2000s-Present: Breakthroughs in deep learning and neural networks.

TYPES OF AI

AI can be categorized into three primary types:

1. Narrow AI: Designed for specific tasks (e.g., personal assistants like
Siri).
2. General AI: Hypothetical systems with generalized human-like
intelligence.
3. Superintelligent AI: An advanced form of AI that surpasses human
capabilities.

APPLICATIONS ACROSS FIELDS

AI finds applications across various domains, including:

• Healthcare: Disease diagnosis, personalized treatment plans.


• Finance: Fraud detection, algorithmic trading.
