ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
INTELLIGENCE

 Intelligence: “The capacity to learn and solve problems”

 Artificial Intelligence: Artificial intelligence (AI) is the
simulation of human intelligence by machines.
• The ability to solve problems
• The ability to act rationally
• The ability to act like humans
 Definition of A.I.
• “The study and design of intelligent agents,"
where an intelligent agent is a system that
perceives its environment and takes actions which
maximize its chances of success.

• “The science and engineering of making

intelligent machines, especially intelligent
computer programs."
Any machine that has been trained with data and can make decisions/predictions on
its own can be termed as AI.

Now we do not use data or information, but the intelligence collected from the
data to build solutions. These solutions can even recommend the next TV show
or movies you should watch on Netflix.
AI has not only made our lives easier but has also been taking care of our habits, likes, and
dislikes. This is why platforms like Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube etc. show us
recommendations on the basis of what we like. Well, the recommendations are not just
limited to our preferences, they even cater to our needs of connecting with friends on social
media platforms with apps like Facebook and Instagram. They also send us customized
notifications about our online shopping details, auto-create playlists according to our
requests and so on. We nowadays have pocket assistants that can do a lot of tasks at just one
command. Alexa, Google Assistant, Cortana, Siri are some very common examples of the
voice assistants which are a major part of our digital devices.
NOT AI
A fully automatic washing machine can work on its own, but it requires human
intervention to select the parameters of washing and to do the necessary
preparation for it to function correctly before each wash, which makes it an example
of automation, not AI.
An air conditioner can be turned on and off remotely with the help of internet but
still needs a human touch. This is an example of Internet of Things (IoT).
How do you make decisions?
You are locked inside a room with 3 doors to move out of the locked
room and you need to find a safe door to get your way out. Behind the
1st door is a lake with a deadly shark. The 2nd door has a mad
psychopath ready to kill with a weapon and the third one has a lion
that has not eaten since the last 2 months <-info as the
basis of decision
The basis of decision making depends upon the availability of
information and how we experience and understand it. For the
purposes of this article, ‘information’ includes our past experience,
intuition, knowledge, and self-awareness. We can’t make “good”
decisions without information because then we have to deal with
unknown factors and face uncertainty, which leads us to make wild
guesses, flipping coins, or rolling a dice. Having knowledge,
experience, or insights given a certain situation, helps us visualize
what the outcomes could be. and how we can achieve/avoid those
outcomes.
 AI, ML & DL.

Artificial Intelligence is the umbrella terminology which

covers machine and deep learning under it and Deep
Learning comes under Machine Learning. It is a funnel type
approach where there are a lot of applications of AI out of
which few are those which come under ML out of which
, Defining the terms:
1. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, refers to any technique that enables computers to
mimic human intelligence. It gives the ability to machines to recognize a
human’s face; to move and manipulate objects; to understand the voice
commands by humans, and also do other tasks. The AI-enabled machines think
algorithmically and execute what they have been asked for intelligently.

AI
2. DATA ALGORITHMS

3. Machine Learning, or ML, enables machines to improve at tasks with experience

(data). The intention of Machine Learning is to enable machines to learn by
themselves using the provided data and make accurate Predictions/ Decisions.

4. Deep Learning, or DL, enables software to train itself to perform tasks with vast
amounts of data. In deep learning, the machine is trained with huge amounts of
data which helps it into training itself around the data. Such machines are
intelligent enough to develop algorithms for themselves.
•Deep Learning is the most advanced form of Artificial
Intelligence out of these three.

•Then comes Machine Learning which is intermediately

intelligent

•Artificial Intelligence covers all the concepts and algorithms

which, in some way or the other mimic human intelligence.

•There are a lot of applications of AI out of which few are

those which come under ML out of which very few can be
labelled as DL.

•Therefore, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL)

are part of Artificial Intelligence (AI),
Artificial Intelligence becomes intelligent according to the
training which it gets. For training, the machine is fed with
datasets. According to the applications for which the AI
algorithm is being developed, the data which is fed into it
changes. With respect to the type of data fed in the AI
model, AI models can be broadly categorised into three
domains:
Domains of AI
1. Computer Vision
2. Natural Language Processing
3. Data for AI
Computer Vision
Computer Vision, abbreviated as CV, is a domain of AI that depicts the capability
of a machine to get and analyse visual information and afterwards predict some
decisions about it. The entire process involves image acquiring, screening,
analysing, identifying and extracting information. This extensive processing helps
computers to understand any visual content and act on it accordingly. In computer
vision, Input to machines can be photographs, videos and pictures from thermal or
infrared sensors, indicators and different sources.
Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that
trains computers to interpret and understand the visual world. Using
digital images from cameras and videos and deep learning models,
machines can accurately identify and classify objects — and then
react to what they “see.”
EXAMPLES - - Self-Driving cars/ Automatic Cars CV systems scan
live objects and analyze them, based on whether the car decides to
keep running or to stop.
Face Lock in Smart phones Smart phones nowadays come with the
feature of face locks in which the smart phone's owner can set up
his/her face as an unlocking mechanism for it. The front camera detects
and captures the face and saves its features during initiation. Next time

Natural Language Processing, abbreviated as NLP, is a branch of
artificial intelligence that deals with the interaction between
computers and humans using the natural language. Natural language
refers to language that is spoken and written by people, and natural
language processing (NLP) attempts to extract information from the
spoken and written word using algorithms. The ultimate objective of
NLP is to read, decipher, understand, and make sense of the human
languages in a manner that is valuable.

Examples of Natural Language Processing-

•Email filters Email filters are one of the most basic and initial
applications of NLP online. It started out with spam filters, uncovering
certain words or phrases that signal a spam message.
•Smart assistants Smart assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa
recognize patterns in speech, then infer meaning and provide a useful
response.
Data sciences is a domain of AI related to data systems
and processes, in which the system collects numerous
data, maintains data sets and derives meaning/sense out of
them.
The information extracted through data science can be
used to make a decision about it.
Example of Data Science - Price Comparison
Websites These websites are being driven by lots and lots
of data. These websites provide with convenience of
comparing the price of a product from multiple vendors at
one place. PriceGrabber, PriceRunner, Junglee, Shopzilla,
DealTime are some examples of price comparison
websites. Now a days, price comparison website can be
found in almost every domain such as technology,
hospitality, automobiles, durables, apparels etc.
AI Ethics
1. Moral Issues: Self-Driving Cars
2. AI creates unemployment
3. AI for kids- H.W done with help from Alexa
4. Data Privacy – whenever you download an app and install it, it
asks you for several permissions to access your phone’s data in
different ways and you allow the app to get all the permissions
that it wants. Hence every now and then, the app has the
permission to access various sensors which are there in your
smartphone and gather data about you and your surroundings.
We forget that the smartphone which we use is a box full of
sensors which are powered all the time while the phone is
switched on. This leads us to a crucial question: Are we okay
with sharing our data with the external world?
5. AI Bias - virtual assistants have a female voice
