INTELLIGENCE
INTRODUCTION
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is quickly becoming an invaluable skill for
professionals to possess. Our online course is designed to provide a comprehensive
overview of the concepts, terminology, and practical applications of AI. We cover
topics ranging from machine learning and neural networks to natural language
processing and computer vision. By the end of the course, students will have the
knowledge and skills needed to understand and work with artificial intelligence in
any environment. This course is perfect for professionals looking to get a jump start
on their AI career, as well as those wanting to gain a better understanding of the
technology.
IMPORTANT OF AI
AI is important because, in some circumstances, it can outperform people at
activities and because it can provide businesses with previously unknown insights
into their operations. AI technologies frequently finish work fast and with very few
mistakes, especially when it comes to repetitive, detail-oriented activities like
reviewing a large number of legal papers to verify key fields are filled in correctly.
The biggest and most prosperous businesses of today have utilized AI to enhance
their operations and outperform rivals.
Historical Development of AI
The field of artificial intelligence (AI), which has only been for 60 years, consists of
a variety of sciences, theories, and methods that try to replicate human cognitive
abilities. These include mathematical logic, statistics, probability, computational
neuroscience, and computer science. Beginning amid World War II, its
advancements are closely tied to those of computing and have enabled computers to
take on increasingly complicated jobs that were previously exclusively suitable for
humans.
The name is subject to criticism from certain experts because this automation is still
very far from true human intelligence. The culmination of their work (a "strong" AI,
or the capacity to handle a wide range of specialized problems in a fully autonomous
manner) is in no way analogous to recent accomplishments ("weak" or "moderate"
AIs, extremely efficient in their training field). To be able to model the entire world,
the "strong" AI, which has only yet appeared in science fiction, would need
advancements in fundamental research (not simply efficiency gains).
However, since 2010, the field has seen a new surge in popularity, mostly as a result
of significant advancements in computer processing power and easy access to vast
amounts of data.
AI Applications
In today's culture, artificial intelligence is used in a variety of ways. Because it can
effectively address complicated problems in a variety of areas, including healthcare,
entertainment, banking, and education, it is becoming increasingly important for the
modern world. AI is enhancing the convenience and speed of our daily lives.
The following are some industries where artificial intelligence is being used:
2. AI in Healthcare.
In the recent five to ten years, AI has become more beneficial for the healthcare
sector and is expected to have a big impact on this sector.
AI is being used in the healthcare sector to diagnose patients more quickly and
accurately than humans. AI can assist doctors with diagnoses and also alert them
when patients' conditions deteriorate so that treatment can be administered before
the patient is hospitalized.
3. AI in Games.
AI can be utilized in video games. AI machines are capable of playing strategic
games like chess, which require a lot of creative thinking on the part of the machine.
4. AI in Finance.
The finance and AI industries make the ideal partners. Automation, chatbots,
adaptive intelligence, algorithm trading, and machine learning are all being applied
to financial processes in the finance sector.
5. AI in Data Security.
Every business must prioritize data security, and in the digital age, cyberattacks are
increasing significantly. Your data can be made more secure and safe with the help
of AI. Examples like the AEG bot and the AI2 Platform are used to more accurately
identify software bugs and cyber-attacks.
6. AI in Social Media
There are billions of user profiles on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter,
and Snapchat, all of which need to be saved and handled very effectively. Massive
volumes of data can be managed and organized by AI. A lot of data may be analyzed
by AI to find the newest hashtags, trends, and user requirements.
Many industries are actively attempting to build self-driving automobiles that can
increase the safety and security of your journey.
12. AI in e-commerce
The e-commerce sector now has a competitive advantage thanks to AI, which is also
growing increasingly important to the sector. AI is assisting customers in finding
related products with suggested sizes, colors, or brands.
Expert Systems
An expert system is computer software created to solve complicated issues and offer
decision-making capabilities similar to those of a human expert. This is
accomplished by the system retrieving information from its knowledge base by user
queries, utilizing reasoning and inference procedures.
The first expert system (ES), which was the first effective use of artificial
intelligence, was established in the year 1970 and is a subset of AI. By drawing on
the knowledge that is kept in its knowledge base, it can solve even the most
complicated problems like an expert. Like a human expert, the system aids in
decision-making for complex issues by using both facts and heuristics. It is so named
because it possesses in-depth knowledge of a certain field and is capable of resolving
any challenging issue in that field. These systems are created for a certain industry,
like science, medicine, etc.
Characteristics of Expert Systems
Machine Learning
The branch of artificial intelligence (AI) known as machine learning (ML) focuses
on creating systems that can learn from the data they are fed and hence enhance their
performance. Systems or technologies that resemble human intelligence are referred
to as artificial intelligence, which is a broad word. Although the phrases machine
learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are frequently used interchangeably and are
frequently addressed together, they have different meanings. Even while machine
learning is AI, not all AI is machine learning, and this is a significant distinction.
NLP blends statistical, machine learning, and deep learning models with
computational linguistics—rule-based modeling of human language. With the use
of these technologies, computers are now able to process human language in the
form of text or audio data and fully "understand" what is being said or written,
including the speaker's or writer's intentions and sentiments.
Robotics
A different field within artificial intelligence called robotics is used to research the
development of intelligent robots and machines. Robots, which contain mechanical
construction, and electrical components, and are programmable with a programming
language, combine electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer
science & engineering. Even though robotics and artificial intelligence have distinct
goals and uses, most people view robotics as a subset of AI (AI). Robotic devices
have a striking resemblance to people in appearance, and if given access to artificial
intelligence (AI), they are also capable of performing like humans.
What is a robot?
A robot is a device that resembles a human being and can carry out unusual tasks
and automatically mimic some human movements in response to commands that are
supplied to it through programming.
Computer Vision
Computer vision is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows computers and
systems to derive meaningful information from digital photos, videos, and other
visual inputs — and then act or recommend on that information.
AI Ethics
As AI continues to evolve, we need to consider the ethical implications of its
subfields and applications. From machine learning to natural language processing,
AI is being used in a variety of industries such as healthcare, finance, and
transportation. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and we must
ensure that our use of AI aligns with ethical principles. We must consider issues such
as bias in data sets, transparency in decision-making algorithms, and the potential
impact on employment. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, we must
prioritize AI ethics to ensure that it benefits humanity as a whole. It's up to us to
ensure that AI is developed and used in ways that are fair, transparent, and
accountable. By doing so, we can harness the full potential of AI while minimizing
any negative consequences.
MODULE THREE
Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Recognizing that deep learning is a form of machine learning is the first step in
figuring out how they differ from one another.
Machine learning entails a great deal of intricate arithmetic and coding, yet at the
end of the day, it performs the same mechanical task as a computer screen,
automobile, or flashlight. When we refer to something as "machine learning," we
mean that it can accomplish a task with the data provided and improve over time.
Similar to how a flashlight would identify several words that contained the word
"dark" and turn on when you stated, "It's dark,"
Making sure a deep learning model doesn't draw the wrong conclusions can be
challenging because, like other AI applications, it takes a lot of training to get the
learning processes right. Nonetheless, when practical deep learning performs as
intended, it is frequently hailed as a scientific miracle and is widely regarded as the
foundation of true artificial intelligence.
The main variations between deep learning and machine learning are:
• Algorithms are used by machine learning to parse data, learn from that data,
and make wise judgments based on what it has discovered.
• A part of machine learning is called deep learning. Even though both fall
under the umbrella of artificial intelligence, deep learning is what makes AI
the most like humans.
Introduction to Machine Learning
Introduction to Machine Learning is a fascinating field that has seen a dramatic rise
in popularity over the years. As more and more businesses leverage the power of
data science, the demand for skilled professionals in AI subfields and applications
has skyrocketed. Copywriting, content writing, and digital marketing are just a few
examples of fields where machine learning is making a significant impact. By
utilizing machine learning techniques, businesses can analyze vast amounts of data
and uncover insights that would be impossible to find with traditional methods. For
instance, by using natural language processing algorithms, copywriters can create
content that is optimized for search engines while still being engaging for human
readers. Similarly, machine learning can help digital marketers identify patterns in
consumer behavior and tailor their campaigns accordingly. The possibilities are
endless when it comes to using machine learning in these fields, and those who
specialize in them have a bright future ahead.
Unsupervised Learning.
The benefit of unsupervised machine learning is that it can use unlabeled data. This
means that no human intervention is needed to make the dataset machine-readable,
enabling the program to function on much larger datasets.
The labels in supervised learning give the algorithm the ability to determine the
precise type of relationship existing between any two data points. Unsupervised
learning, on the other hand, lacks labels toon base its work leading to the
development of hidden structures. The program interprets relationships between data
points in an abstract fashion without the need for human input
Reinforcement Learning.
Organizational reinforcement learning methods
Reinforcement learning directly mimics how people learn from data in their daily
lives. It has a self-improving algorithm that adapts to new circumstances and learns
from mistakes. Positive results are "reinforced" or encouraged, while negative
results are "punished" or discouraged.
If the program finds the right answer, the interpreter strengthens the answer by
rewarding the algorithm. If the result is unfavorable, the algorithm must repeat the
process until a better conclusion is obtained. Most of the time, the efficacy of the
outcome is closely related to the reward system.
1. Image Recognition: One of the most popular uses of machine learning is image
recognition. It is used to identify things like digital photos, people, places, and items.
Automated buddy tagging suggestion is a common use for face and image
recognition.
2. Recognition of speech
When using Google, we have the option to "Search by voice," which falls under
speech recognition and is a well-known machine learning application.
3. Traffic prediction
When we wish to travel to a new location, Google Maps comes in handy because it
offers us the best route and anticipates traffic conditions.
4. Product recommendations:
Amazon, Netflix, and other e-commerce and entertainment businesses frequently
utilize machine learning to recommend products to users. Because of machine
learning, whenever we look for a product on Amazon, we begin to see
advertisements for the same product while using the same browser to browse the
internet.
5. Self-driving cars:
Self-driving automobiles are one of the most intriguing uses of machine learning.
Self-driving cars heavily rely on machine learning. The most well-known
automaker, Tesla, is developing a self-driving vehicle. To train the car models to
recognize people and objects while driving, unsupervised learning was used.
By using algorithms that analyze digital photos or movies, computer vision, on the
other hand, tries to give computers the ability to see. It mainly focuses on pose
estimation, object detection, tracking, and image categorization.
Common applications.
Robots that use images and vision must have visual feedback. One of the things that
makes them so popular across several fields is their ability to see. Generally
speaking, the following list does not exhaust the uses of computer vision in robotics:
space robots
Commercial robotics
military robotics
health robotics
Distribution and warehousing
Introduction to Computer Vision
What is computer vision?
Artificial intelligence (AIfield )'s of computer vision enables computers and systems
to extract useful information from digital photos, videos, and other visual inputs and
to conduct actions or offer recommendations in response to that information. If AI
gives computers the ability to think, computer vision gives them the ability to see,
observe, and comprehend.
Human vision has an advantage over computer vision in that it has been around
longer. With a lifetime of context, human sight has the advantage of learning how to
distinguish between things, determine their distance from the viewer, determine
whether they are moving, and determine whether an image is correct.
Using cameras, data, and algorithms instead of retinas, optic nerves, and the visual
cortex, computer vision teaches computers to execute similar tasks in much less
time. A system trained to inspect items or monitor a production asset can swiftly
outperform humans since it can examine thousands of products or processes per
minute while spotting imperceptible flaws or problems.
This is done using two key technologies: convolutional neural networks and deep
learning, a sort of machine learning (CNN).
With the use of algorithmic models, a computer can learn how to understand the
context of visual input using machine learning. The computer will "look" at the data
and educate itself to distinguish between different images if enough data is sent
through the model. Instead of needing to be programmed to recognize an image,
algorithms allow the machine to learn on its own.
By dissecting images into pixels with labels or tags, a CNN aids a machine learning
or deep learning model in "seeing". It creates predictions about what it is "seeing"
by performing convolutions on the labels, which is a mathematical operation on two
functions to create a third function. Until the predictions start to come true, the neural
network conducts convolutions and evaluates the accuracy of its predictions
repeatedly. Then, it is recognizing or views images similarly to how people do.
Similar to how a human would perceive a picture from a distance, a CNN first
recognizes sharp contours and basic forms before adding details as it iteratively tests
its predictions. To comprehend individual images, a CNN is utilized. Like this,
recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are employed in video applications to assist
computers in comprehending the relationships between the images in a sequence of
frames.
Autonomous vehicles.
Autonomous vehicles won't be science fiction in 2023. In fact,
The dependability and safety of self-driving cars are already being tested and
improved by thousands of engineers and developers worldwide.
Computer vision is used to identify and categorize things (such as traffic lights or
road signs), build 3D maps, or estimate motion. It also played a significant role in
the development of autonomous cars.
detection of pedestrians.
Due to its potential influence on the design of pedestrian protection systems and
smart cities, pedestrian identification and tracking has become a crucial computer
vision research topic.
Using cameras, it leverages differences in body posture, clothing, occlusion, lighting
conditions, and background clutter to automatically identify and locate pedestrians
in photos or videos.
Healthcare.
One of the richest sources of information is medical imaging data. So here's the
disclaimer:
Doctors are compelled to spend hours manually processing patient data and doing
administrative tasks in the absence of the proper technologies.
Fortunately, as time passed and technology improved, the healthcare sector became
one of the quickest to accept new automation solutions, such as computer vision.
movement evaluation.
Pose estimation has been employed to analyze patient motion and aid medical
professionals identify neurological and musculoskeletal disorders.
This computer vision technology has also been used for Medical Baby Motion
Analysis, even though the vast majority of methods for estimating human pose
concentrate on adults.
Introduction to Robotics
Robotics is a branch of science that deals with devices that carry out activities
automatically or partially automatically using predetermined and adaptive
programming and algorithms. These devices—often referred to as robots—are either
directed by people or carried out wholly by computer software and algorithms.
Building, planning, and programming robots are all included in the broad field of
robotics. These robots interact directly with the actual world and are frequently
utilized in place of people to carry out boring and repetitive activities. We will
examine how to categorize robots depending on their size, application domain, or
function in a subsequent section.
Characteristics
The following list of robot traits includes:
Physicality: Robots have a physical body. They are propelled by their mechanical
pieces and maintained in place by the structure of their body. Robots will only be
software without a physical form.
Robotic brains can also be referred to as onboard control units. Using this robot, data
is received and commands are output. Without this control unit, the robot would only
be a machine that could be operated remotely.
Sensors: Robots utilize these sensors to collect data from the outside world and
transmit it to the brain. In essence, these sensors contain circuits inside of them that
generate the voltage.
Actuators: The pieces that move with the assistance of robots are known as actuators.
Actuators include things like motors, pumps, compressors, etc. These actuators are
guided by the brain as to when and how to react or move.
Robots can only carry out or react to commands that are given to them in the form
of a program. These programs only instruct the brain when to carry out certain tasks,
such as when to move, make noise, etc. These programs only instruct the robot in
the usage of sensor data for decision-making.
The program that was created for the robot determines its behavior. After the robot
begins moving, it is simple to determine what kind of program is being installed
inside of it.
Applications of Robotics
1. Safety
What if every security officer was a robot? Even criminals would be terrified!
Because they can safeguard people and wouldn't put themselves at risk like human
security guards would, robots are considered security agents. Robotics businesses
are presently experimenting with teaming human security advisors with robot
guards. American company Knightscope is quite well known in this industry and has
autonomous security robots that can provide real-time, useful intelligence to human
security officers. Robots like these can assist in solving crimes like armed robberies,
burglaries, domestic abuse, fraud, hit-and-runs, etc.
2. Space Exploration.
There are numerous activities in space that astronauts should avoid at all costs.
Humans are unable to spend all day on Mars collecting soil samples or working on
spacecraft repairs from the outside while they are in the void of space. Robots are a
fantastic option in these circumstances because there is no risk of human life being
lost. Thus, NASA and other space organizations commonly deploy robots and
autonomous vehicles to perform tasks that humans cannot. For instance, the Mars
Rover is an autonomous robot that travels on Mars and captures images of
fascinating or significant Martian rock formations before sending them back to Earth
for NASA scientists to investigate.
3. Entertainment.
Another popular topic in the entertainment sector is robots. They can be utilized
behind the scenes in movies and television shows to manage the camera, offer
special effects, etc., but they can't technically become actors and actresses. They can
be employed for dull, routine jobs that are unsuitable for humans because, after all,
the film industry is a creative one. Robots can also perform stunts that are extremely
unsafe for people to perform yet look spectacular in an action movie. The wonderful
experiences of visitors are being improved by the use of autonomous robots in theme
parks like Disney World.
(4) Agriculture.
The sector that serves as the foundation for human civilization is agriculture.
Agriculture, however, is a seasonal industry that depends on favorable weather, good
soil, etc. Also, several repetitive chores in agriculture waste farmers' time and are
better handled by robots. They include planting seeds, eliminating weeds,
harvesting, etc. Crop harvesting is typically done by robots, which makes farmers
more productive. The Ecorobotix is an illustration of a robot that is employed to
clear weeds from farmland. It has a sophisticated camera system that can be used to
target and spray weeds while being fueled by solar energy.
5. Healthcare.
The healthcare industry has undergone significant upheaval thanks to robots. And
everything has improved! These can assist surgeons in executing procedures with
more precision, serve as prosthetic limbs, give patients rehabilitation, etc. There are
countless options. The da Vinci robot is one example of this, which may assist
surgeons in carrying out difficult procedures on the heart, head, neck, and other
delicate places. Exoskeletons are another type of robotic device that has been
developed and can be used to help persons recovering from spinal injuries, strokes,
etc. with additional support.
6. Oceanographic exploration.
Robots are a fantastic alternative for investigating locations that are difficult for
people to access, like the ocean's depths! Deep beneath the ocean, there is intense
water pressure, which prevents humans from going there and limits the depth to
which robots like submarines may travel. Now that specialized robots have been
created, it is possible to finally explore the hidden depths of the ocean. These remote-
controlled robots can explore the ocean's depths and gather information and pictures
of aquatic plant and animal life.
7. Preparing food.
Want to avoid cooking? Don't worry, some can even prepare full meals for you to
eat. These robot chefs are capable of cooking utilizing a vast array of recipes. All
that is required of humans is for them to select the recipe they desire and provide the
robot with pre-packaged containers containing each component. The food can
subsequently be cooked by the robot by itself. One such robotics business, Moley
Robotics, has developed a robotic kitchen featuring a robot that can prepare meals
just like a professional chef! So don't be concerned if you can't cook. since a robot
can now!
8. Manufacturing.
Welding, assembling, packing, and other routine jobs in the manufacturing sector
don't call for the use of the mind at all. Robots can efficiently complete these chores,
leaving humans to handle mentally demanding and creative duties. Under the
direction and supervision of a human, these robots can be taught to carry out these
boring and repetitive duties with accuracy. This choice is also ideal for hazardous
production procedures that might hurt people.
9. armed forces.
There are numerous uses for robots in the military as well. They can be utilized as
medics to assist friendly forces, as armed systems to attack opposing forces, or as
drones to maintain a watch on the enemy. The MAARS (Modular Advanced Armed
Robotic System), which resembles a tank and is equipped with tear gas, lasers to
confuse adversaries, and even a grenade launcher for emergency scenarios, is one of
the most well-known robots employed in the military. DOGO is a tactical fighting
robot that also comes equipped with a camera for spying on the enemy's actions and
a 9-millimeter handgun for emergencies!
2. Language translation.
There are as many languages as there are civilizations in the world, yet not
everyone is fluent in every one of them. Due to the advent of technology, our
society has become a global village, making it necessary for us to engage with
others who may speak a language that is unfamiliar to us. By translating the
language with all of its sentiments, natural language processing aids us.
3. Intelligent assistants.
In the modern world, a new smart device is introduced every day, making the
world increasingly smarter. And not just machines are benefiting from this
development. With the development of technology, we now have intelligent
personal assistants like Siri, Amazon, and Cortana. They even respond to us in the
same way when we speak to them in the same manner as we would.
4. Document analysis.
We must continually navigate this challenging and puzzling world by gathering the
necessary knowledge from the available resources. The internet is one of the most
comprehensive sources of knowledge. Checkmate occurs when we type the search
term. What we wanted has been obtained. Yet, have you ever considered how you
still manage to find the necessary information even if you are unable to pinpoint
the precise keywords to use in your search? The solution is clear, I suppose.
Natural Language Processing is once more used. Recognizing the literal meaning
of words and the intent behind writing those words, aids search engines in
understanding what is requested of them and so provides us with the desired
results.
7. Predictive text.
Even so, over time, it learns from our messages and begins to correctly propose the
next word even when we haven't yet written a single letter of it. By giving our
smartphones the ability to suggest phrases and learn from our messaging
behaviors, NLP is used to accomplish all of this.
7. Automatic summarization.
Data has expanded along with the number of innovations and creations. The range
of data processing has also been widened by this growth in data. Yet, manual data
processing takes time and is prone to mistakes. NLP has a solution for that as well;
in addition to summarizing information's meaning, it can also decipher its
emotional significance. Hence, the summarizing procedure is expedited and
flawless.
8. Sentiment analysis.
The majority of discussions and texts are emotional because of daily interactions,
posted material and comments, and book, restaurant, and product reviews.
Understanding these feelings is just as crucial as comprehending the meaning of
the words themselves. Humans are capable of deciphering the emotional
undertones of written and spoken words, but with the aid of natural language
processing, computers can also comprehend the sentiments of a document in
addition to its literal meaning.
9. Chatbots.
Chatbots are also useful in situations when human labor is scarce or not available
constantly. NLP-based chatbots also include emotional intelligence, which enables
them to recognize and successfully address the emotional needs of their users.
1. Email filtering.
We use hemodialysis. We frequently find ourselves buried in a sea of emails,
whether they are about our jobs, our studies, or a variety of other topics. We get
emails from all different kinds of sources; some are work-related or from our dream
college or university, while others are spam or promotional communications. Natural
language processing is used in this situation. It classifies incoming emails as
"essential" or "spam," and then filters them into their appropriate folders.
2. Language translation.
There are as many languages as there are civilizations in the world, yet not everyone
is fluent in every one of them. Due to the advent of technology, our society has
become a global village, making it necessary for us to engage with others who may
speak a language that is unfamiliar to us. By translating the language with all of its
sentiments, natural language processing aids us.
3. Intelligent assistants.
In the modern world, a new smart device is introduced every day, making the world
increasingly smarter. And not just machines are benefiting from this development.
With the development of technology, we now have intelligent personal assistants
like Siri, Amazon, and Cortana. They even respond to us in the same way when we
speak to them in the same manner as we would.
Natural Language Processing makes all of this feasible. By decomposing our
language into its constituent elements of speech, root stem, and other linguistic
qualities, it aids the computer system in comprehending it. It not only aids in
language comprehension but also in processing meaning and emotions and
responding in a human-like manner.
4. Document analysis.
Document analysis is another application for NLP. Businesses, institutions, schools,
and other similar establishments are constantly overflowing with data, which must
be properly organized, maintained, and searched for. NLP may be used for all of
this. In addition to searching for a keyword, it also sorts the results into the
appropriate categories, saving us from the tiresome and time-consuming task of
looking through a large number of files to find a specific person's information. It
does not just stop there; it also aids the user in making informed decisions about
handling claims and managing risks.
5. Internet searches.
We must continually navigate this challenging and puzzling world by gathering the
necessary knowledge and the available resources able. The internet is one of the
most comprehensive sources of knowledge. Checkmate occurs when we type the
search term. What we wanted has been obtained. Yet, have you ever considered how
you still manage to find the necessary information even if you are unable to pinpoint
the precise keywords to use in your search? The solution is clear, I suppose.
Natural Language Processing is once more Recognizing the literal meaning of words
and the intent behind writing those words, it aids search engines in understanding
what is requested of them and so provides us with the desired results.
6. Predictive text
Predictive text is a comparable application to online searches. Every time we use our
smartphones to input anything, we use it. The keyboard suggests possible words
whenever we input a few letters on the screen, and once we have written a few words,
it begins to offer possible words for the following word. These predictive sentences
could initially be a little inaccurate.
Even so, over time, it learns from our messages and begins to correctly propose the
next word even when we haven't yet written a single letter of it. By giving our
smartphones the ability to suggest phrases and learn from our messaging behaviors,
NLP is used to accomplish all of this.
7. Automated summary.
Data has expanded along with the number of innovations and creations. The range
of data processing has also been widened by this growth in data. Yet, manual data
processing takes time and is prone to mistakes. NLP has a solution for that as well;
in addition to summarizing information's meaning, it can also decipher its emotional
significance. Hence, the summarizing procedure is expedited and flawless.
8. Sentiment evaluation
The majority of discussions and texts are emotional because of daily interactions,
posted material and comments, and book, restaurant, and product reviews.
Understanding these feelings is just as crucial as comprehending the meaning of the
words themselves. Humans are capable of deciphering the emotional undertones of
written and spoken words, but with the aid of natural language processing,
computers can also comprehend the sentiments of a document in addition to its literal
meaning.
9. Chatbots.
Everything has gone digital as a result of the advancement of technology, including
education, buying, booking travel arrangements, and customer service. The chatbot
responds promptly and precisely so that you don't have to wait a long time for one
brief and immediate answer. These chatbots are equipped with conversational
capabilities thanks to NLP, enabling more accurate consumer responses than simple
one-word answers.
Chatbots are also useful in situations when human labor is scarce or not available
constantly. NLP-based chatbots also include emotional intelligence, which enables
them to recognize and successfully address the emotional needs of their users.
The first expert system (ES), which was the first effective use of artificial
intelligence, was established in the year 1970 and is a subset of AI. By drawing on
the knowledge that is kept in its knowledge base, it can solve even the most
complicated problems like an expert. Like a human expert, the system aids in
decision-making for complex issues by using both facts and heuristics. It is so named
because it possesses in-depth knowledge of a certain field and is capable of resolving
any challenging issue in that field. These systems are created for a certain industry,
like science, medicine, etc.
What are the components of an expert system?
An expert system is made up of three key parts:
The knowledge base. This is where the data that the expert system uses is kept. Facts
contributed by human specialists regarding the expert system's specific topic or
subject area are grouped in the knowledge base. The system can obtain knowledge
from outside sources and store it in the knowledge base thanks to a knowledge
acquisition module that is frequently included in the knowledge base.
The inference engine. To address a user's issue, this component of the system
retrieves pertinent information from the knowledge base. It is a rules-based system
that analyzes inputs and maps known information from the knowledge base to a set
of rules before making judgments. A module that explains how the inference engine
arrived at its result is frequently included in inference engines.
the interface for users. Users engage with this area of the expert system to find a
solution to their query or issue.
Applications of Expert Systems
Expert systems have many important applications in industries like agriculture,
education, the environment, law, industry, medical, and power systems, among
others. Both new configurations of existing products and numerous new products
are developed using expert systems. The expert system-supported entity is referred
to be intelligent when an existing product is changed to include an expert system as
a component or when an existing product item is replaced with an expert system.
Expert systems have been developed to make activities easier in a variety of
industries, including accounting, medical, process control, financial services,
production, and education. A successful expert system is built on several technical
developments and methods that may be created by certainly associated experts.
AI in Healthcare
AI in Finance
To improve how financial organizations evaluate, manage, invest, and secure
money, artificial intelligence (AI) in finance refers to the application of technology
like machine learning (ML), which mimics human intelligence and decision-making.
AI in Education
There are many legacy systems in the education sector. Yet, a small dose of AI tools
and technologies can bring a new wave of automation and fill in the knowledge gaps
in conventional grading systems. According to a survey by Markets and Markets,
the global market for AI in education is expanding rapidly and is predicted to reach
USD 3.7 billion by 2025 from USD 0.8 billion in 2020, representing a Compound
Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 36.0% over the projected period.
The need for personalized learning is on the rise, student outcomes have improved,
and educational institutions all over the world are using AI-based educational
solutions, which are the main drivers of this expansion. AI technology can change
how students learn and teachers impart knowledge as it develops and becomes more
sophisticated. To incorporate the appropriate AI applications that yield the desired
results, educators must think about strategizing a digital transformation within the
parameters of their field.
office duties.
to do away with manual administration tasks including class scheduling,
rescheduling, noting attendance, grading papers, finances, bookkeeping, and record-
keeping in schools, colleges, and universities. This streamlines the routine, boring
duties that the personnel is no longer required to complete. AI tools may carry out a
variety of tasks, including
vocal helpers.
Voice assistants are a fun and practical tool to extend learning outside of the
classroom. They may also be used to plan study schedules, listen to coaching
instructions while traveling, and provide quick answers to common inquiries from
students in class. The following are some advantages of voice assistants in
education:
Personalized education
AI solutions can support learning by creating personalized study regimens and
customizing instruction to meet the needs of each learner. In addition to developing
curriculum, assessment, and feedback mechanisms for students from preschool to
college, they also detect knowledge gaps. Students can study at their own pace and
according to their needs for repeated repetition with the use of AI-powered software,
games, and other resources. This machine-assisted classroom setting can support
teachers in individually tailoring lesson plans based on students’ unique
requirements and go a long way in differentiating and adapting learning that can lay
a strong foundation for all types of learners.
Excellent content.
Digital textbooks, manuals, snippets of instruction, and videos are just a few
examples of smart content. AI techniques can also be used to construct settings that
are specifically tailored to the educational organization's strategy and objectives. The
goal of the future worldwide trend in education is to make it more personalized, and
this may be done by determining the fields in which AI tools can be useful. For
instance, schools can develop accompanying web-based curricula and AR/VR-based
learning environments. Tools for AI Monitoring and Assessment can simplify
information to accommodate various learning curves and learning styles. When a
large number of students submit an inaccurate response, AI and ML-powered
algorithms can pinpoint curricular gaps and suggest improvements to fill them. This
assists teachers in correcting the problem.
AI in Agriculture
Over the world, agriculture is a key issue and a hot topic. The population is growing
rapidly, and with it, so is the need for food and work. Farmers have been employing
traditional methods, but they were insufficient to meet these demands. New
automated techniques were consequently introduced. These innovative techniques
supplied the world's food needs while simultaneously giving billions of people
access to jobs. A revolution in agriculture has been sparked by artificial intelligence.
The agricultural output has been shielded by this technique from several
circumstances, including population expansion, job issues, and food security
concerns. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the numerous ways artificial
intelligence is being used in agriculture, including irrigation, weeding, and spraying
with the use of sensors and other tools built into drones and robots.
1. Weather and price forecasting: As we noted in the problem section, farmers find
it challenging to make the best choices for harvesting, planting seeds, and preparing
soli. But with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) weather forecasting, farmers can
gain knowledge of weather analysis and, in accordance, plan for the sort of crop to
grow, the seeds to sow, and crop harvesting. Farmers may have a better sense of the
price of crops for the upcoming few weeks with the help of price forecasting, which
can allow them to maximize profit.
Robotic agriculture:
Robots are widely employed in many industries, mostly in manufacturing, to carry
out difficult jobs. Currently, numerous AI companies are creating robots for use in
the agriculture industry. These AI robots are designed so that they can handle a
variety of farming activities.
AI robots are also taught to inspect crops for quality, spot and eradicate weeds, and
harvest crops more quickly than a human.
4. Adaptive Spraying
Cannabis can be quickly and easily recognized with AI sensors, which can also
identify weed-affected locations. Herbicides may be precisely applied in these
locations after locating them, which reduces the need for herbicides while also
saving time and crop. A variety of AI firms are developing robots with computer
vision and AI that can precisely spray weeds. The usage of AI sprayers can
significantly reduce the number of pesticides needed to be applied to fields,
improving crop quality and reducing costs.
5. Diagnoses of illnesses
With AI predictions, farmers may readily learn about diseases. Using this, they can
quickly and effectively diagnose illnesses. It can spare both plants' lives and farmers'
time. First, computer vision technology is used to pre-process photos of plants. This
guarantees that plant photos are appropriately segmented between the healthy and
unhealthy sections. The infected area is cut off after detection and sent to the
laboratory for additional diagnosis. This method also aids in the detection of pests,
nutrient deficiencies, and many other things.
6. Precision agriculture
"Right place, Right time, and right goods" are the three pillars of precision farming.
The labor-intensive aspect of farming that involves performing repetitive chores can
be replaced by precision farming technology, which is considerably more precise
and controlled. The measurement of plant stress levels is one instance of precision
farming. High-resolution photos and various plant sensor data can be used to obtain
this. The machine learning model used for stress recognition is then fed the sensor
data as input.
AI in Transportation
Since the adoption of AI technology in the transportation industry, a lot of things
have gradually changed as a result of the various advancements AI has brought.
Although it is still in its infancy, artificial intelligence (AI) in transportation has the
potential to completely transform the industry. The rate of adoption of AI in this
field has been impacted by the trust. The lack of effective regulation, certification,
and standardization of AI tools in the transportation industry exacerbates the lack of
trust. But, acceptance of AI in transportation will come after the public policy on AI
has fully developed since safety will be guaranteed and as a result, confidence will
be rebuilt.
AI in Entertainment
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems can be used to swiftly produce content for
websites, news stories, blog posts, and other online platforms using natural language
processing (NLP) and text analysis. Media firms can now create content much more
quickly thanks to AI-driven technology, which also eliminates the need for physical
labor.
It is required to control such content from regulatory agencies. Once more, AI aids
in the detection and exclusion of such problematic content. Before displaying such
information, AI can determine a user's age and gender. It can also automatically filter
out problematic content before broadcasting it with audience category ratings such
as for children or adults only.
Based on how algorithms analyze data to provide evidence and encourage actions,
three epistemological and two normative categories of ethical concerns can be
determined from these operational characteristics. The five identified sorts of
concerns can lead to failures involving numerous technological, organizational, and
human agents. This combination of technological and human actors raises
challenging issues on how to allocate blame and culpability for the consequences of
AI behaviors. Traceability includes these issues as a final, all-encompassing sort of
issue.
AI Ethics and Regulation
AI Ethics and Regulation are two important aspects of the development and
deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI Ethics refers to the moral
and ethical considerations that arise from the use of AI, while AI Regulation involves
the legal and policy frameworks that govern the use of AI.
AI Ethics involves a range of issues, including bias and fairness, accountability and
transparency, privacy and security, and social impact. These issues arise because AI
technologies can have significant social and economic consequences, and can be
used in ways that harm individuals or groups. As such, it is important to ensure that
AI is developed and deployed in ways that are consistent with ethical principles and
values.
AI Regulation, on the other hand, involves creating legal and policy frameworks that
govern the use of AI. This includes regulations that ensure the safety and reliability
of AI technologies, protect individual rights and freedoms, and promote fair
competition and innovation.
government action, there are also initiatives by the private sector, academic
institutions, and civil society to promote AI Ethics and Regulation. These include
codes of conduct, best practices, and standards for the development and deployment
of AI technologies.
AI Ethics and Regulation are critical for ensuring that AI technologies are developed
and used in ways that promote social welfare and protect individual rights and
freedoms.
To mitigate the risk of job displacement, governments, employers, and workers need
to prepare for the impact of AI. This could involve investing in education and
training programs to help workers develop the skills they need for new roles, as well
as providing financial support and job placement assistance for workers who lose
their jobs due to AI.
Employers need to take steps to ensure that the adoption of AI technologies is done
in a way that is responsible and ethical. This may include creating job retraining
programs for workers, offering opportunities for workers to transition to new roles
within the company, and investing in technologies that enhance the productivity of
workers rather than replacing them.
Bias in AI
As demonstrated in the blood oxygenation example above, bias in AI is when the
computer consistently produces different results for one set of people compared to
another.
These bias outputs typically reflect established societal prejudices including those
based on race, gender, biological sex, nationality, or age.
The human factor relating to bias in AI
When we discuss AI, we are referring to individuals. Humans are still the primary
benefactors of all the AI applications we use regularly because people still create AI
algorithms.
This illustrates why we should change our mindset and start looking at biased AI as
a human problem rather than merely a technology issue.
Data and success definition are the two key challenges that need to be addressed
when it comes to algorithmic bias. The available data is it complete? Is it a fair
representation of everyone? If such is not the case, the algorithm's forecast will
unavoidably be biased.
The Artificial Intelligence Safety and Stability project at the Center for a New
American Security (CNAS) aims to better understand AI dangers and concrete
actions that may be taken to enhance AI safety and stability in national security
applications. Principal areas of focus include:
