What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a set of technologies that enable computers to perform various advanced tasks, including the ability to understand, interpret, and translate spoken and written language, analyze data, make recommendations, and more.

Artificial Intelligence

AI is the backbone of inventions in modern computing, unlocking value for individuals and businesses. For example, optical character recognition (OCR) uses AI to extract text and data from images and documents, convert unstructured content into business-ready structured data, and unlock valuable insights.

Just below AI, we have machine learning, which involves creating models by training algorithms to make predictions or opinions based on data. It includes a variety of methods that enable computers to learn and draw conclusions based on data without being explicitly programmed for specific tasks. There are many types of machine learning methods or algorithms, including direct regression, logistic regression, decision trees, arbitrary wood, support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), clustering, and more.

Each of these approaches is suitable for different types of problems and data. But one of the most popular types of machine learning algorithms is called a neural network (or artificial neural network).

Neural networks are modeled after the structure and function of the human brain. Neural networks are analogous to connected layers of bumps (analogous to neurons) that work together to use and analyze complex data.

Neural networks are suitable for tasks that involve connecting complex patterns and connections in large amounts of data. The simplest form of machine learning is called supervised learning, which involves the use of labeled data sets to train algorithms to classify data or directly predict issues.

Artificial Intelligence learning

There are many different methods of learning as applied to artificial intelligence. The simplest method is learning by trial and error. For example, a simple computer program for solving mate-in-one chess problems might try moves at random until it finds mate. The program can then store the solution along with the position so that the next time the computer encounters the same position, it will remember the solution. This simple method of memorizing individual objects and procedures—called rote learning—is relatively easy to implement on a computer. More challenging to implement is the problem called generalization. Generalization involves applying past experience to similar new situations. For example, a program that learns the past tense of regular English verbs by rote will not be able to form the past tense of a word such as jump unless the program has been presented with jump before, while a program that is able to generalize might learn the “add-ed” rule for regular verbs ending in consonants and thereby form the past tense of jump based on experience with similar verbs.

Learning
Machine learning is the study of programs that can automatically improve their performance on a given task. It has been a part of AI since the beginning

There are several types of machine learning. Unsupervised learning analyzes a stream of data and finds patterns and makes predictions without any other guidance. Supervised learning first requires a human to label the input data, and comes in two main types: classification (where the program must learn to predict which category the input falls into) and regression (where the program must derive a numerical function based on numerical input).

In reinforcement learning, the agent is rewarded for good responses and penalized for poor responses. The agent learns to choose responses that are classified as “good.” Transfer learning occurs when knowledge gained from one problem is applied to a new problem. Deep learning is a type of machine learning that runs inputs through biologically inspired artificial neural networks to perform all of these types of learning.

Computational learning theory may evaluate learners based on computational complexity, sample complexity (how much data is needed) or other notions of optimization.

Artificial Intelligence according to Wikipedia

Problem solving, especially in artificial intelligence, can be described as the systematic search through a range of possible actions to reach some predefined goal or solution. Problem-solving methods are divided into special-purpose and general-purpose. A special-purpose method is tailored to a particular problem and often exploits very specific features of the situation in which the problem is embedded. In contrast, a general-purpose method is applicable to a wide variety of problems. A general-purpose technique used in AI is means-end analysis – reducing the gap between the current situation and the final goal step-by-step or incrementally. The program selects actions from a list of means – in the case of a simple robot, this might include pick up, put down, move forward, move back, move left, and move right – until the goal is achieved.

Many diverse problems have been solved by artificial intelligence programs. Some examples include finding the winning move (or sequence of moves) in a board game, formulating mathematical proofs,
