Dive Deep into Artificial Intelligence
Concept of Artificial Intelligence
is coming up as the biggest innovation in the next few years. As per Ray
Kurzweil, “Artificial Intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029.
Follow that out further to, say, 2045, we will have multiplied the
intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a
billion-fold”.
In the early 20th
century, it began with the “heartless” Tin man from the Wizard of Oz, who
familiarized the world with the concept of artificially intelligent robots
through science fiction and continued with the humanoid robot that impersonated
Maria in Metropolis. By the 1950s, we had scientists, philosophers,
and mathematicians who came up with the concept of Artificial Intelligence assimilated
in their minds. One such young enthusiast was Alan Turing, a young British
polymath. He explored and analyzed the mathematical possibility of Artificial
Intelligence and suggested that humans use available information in order to
solve problems and make decisions, so why can’t machines do the same thing?
Artificial Intelligence is gaining
popularity at a quicker pace; altering the way we live and interact, as well as
improve customer experience. There is a lot of buzz around the world regarding
the impact of Artificial Intelligence, let us understand what actually Artificial
Intelligence is!
The first thing people think about
when they hear about AI is Robots, but the theory behind is based on the
machine learning. Artificial Intelligence is the field of computer
science that is associated with the concept of machines thinking like humans
to perform tasks such as learning, problem-solving, planning, reasoning and
identifying patterns.
In simple words, if a machine starts working like humans, it
is known as Artificial Intelligence. It refers to the simulation of human
intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like human and mimic
their actions. Unlike general acuity, AI is not limited to just IT or
technology industry; instead, it is being extensively spreading in areas
such as medical, business, manufacturing, and education. Voice recognition,
Alexa, Siri, Echo, Google assistant, etc. are some of the examples of AI which
people have already adopted to make their life easy!!
AI is generally categorized into two types:
- Weak Artificial Intelligence
- Strong Artificial Intelligence
Weak AI is a system which focuses on narrow tasks or
can say designed to carry out a particular job. Weak AI includes video games,
or personal assistant like Alexa, Siri, Echo, etc. They are smart enough to
recognize your voice and answer any question you ask to them.
Strong AI is a system which focuses on performing the
tasks skillful and flexible as humans do. They are considered to be more complex
and can handle higher processes like humans do. One of the examples of strong
AI is self driving cars, hospital operating rooms, etc.
There is much more to come in the coming years with more
improvements, development, and governance and will be considered as AI
Innovations!
