What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

o The branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans .The term was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. o It Is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence.

Our Brains are information processing machines Input: eyes, ears Transformation: brain is our CPU Output: hands, feet, mouth

History of AI
1941: First electronic computer (technology finally available ) 1956: Term Artificial Intelligence introduced 1960s: Checkers-playing program that was able to play games with opponents 1980s: Quality Control Systems 2000: First sophisticated walking robot

What humans can do with AI:

AI is a new step that is very helpful to the society. Machines can do jobs that require detailed instructions followed and mental alertness. AI with its learning capabilities can accomplish those tasks. The more use human beings get out of the machines the less work is required by human. In turn less injuries and stress to human beings. Human beings are a species that learn by trying, and must be prepared to give AI a chance seeing AI as a blessing, not an inhibition. Finally, human beings need to be prepared for the worst of AI. Something as revolutionary as AI is sure to have many kinks to work out. There is always that fear that if AI is learning based; will machines learn that being rich and successful is a good thing, then wage war against economic powers and famous people? There are so many things that can go wrong with a new system.

What is Intelligence?
Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world. An intelligence is related to human brain. Understanding what someone says.

Applications or Uses of A.I

Finance Medicine Heavy industry Transportation Telecommunications Toys and games Music Other Computer science

More powerful and more useful computers New and improved interfaces Solving new problems Better handling of information Relieves information overload Conversion of information into knowledge.

Advantages of Artificial Intelligence:

The most basic advantages which we are all aware of are: ACCURACY SPEED INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY FLEXIBILITY

Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence:

Increased costs Difficulty with software development - slow and expensive Few experienced programmers Few practical products have reached the market as yet.
