INTRODUCTION TO AI
 Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of a machine or computer
that enables it to imitate or mimic human capabilities.
 Artificial Intelligence is concerned with the design of intelligence in an
artificial device.
 The term was coined by John McCarthy in 1956.
 Intelligence is the ability to acquire, understand and apply the knowledge
to achieve goals in the world.
INTRODUCTION TO AI (1)
 AI uses multiple technologies that equip machines to sense, comprehend,
plan, act, and learn with human-like levels of intelligence.
 Fundamentally, AI systems perceive environments, recognize objects,
contribute to decision making, solve complex problems, learn from past
experiences, and imitate patterns. These abilities are combined to
accomplish tasks like driving a car or recognizing faces to unlock device
screens.
INTRODUCTION TO AI (2)
 Artificial Intelligence is the development of computer
systems that are able to perform tasks that would require
human intelligence.
 Which is created by humans by loading suitable intelligent
algorithms and a large volume of data to solve real world
complex problems.
INTRODUCTION TO AI (3)
 AI can now take on many of the most repetitive jobs
performed by humans with more accuracy and much
faster.
 So that humans will be able to work less hours, having
more free time to enjoy their life, family, hobbies, and
friends.
INTRODUCTION TO AI (4)
 Artificial Intelligence made-up of two words:
 Artificial
Produced by human art or effort, rather than
originating naturally.
 Intelligence
is the ability to acquire knowledge and use it"
[Pigford and Baur]
INTRODUCTION TO AI (5)
INTRODUCTION TO AI (6)
 AI is a way to make machines think and behave intelligently.
 These machines are controlled by software inside them.
 It concerns with the way how machines to sense, reason,
think, act.
 It is the branch of computer science by which we can create
intelligent machines which can behave like human, thing like
human and able to make decisions.
INTRODUCTION TO AI (7)
 With AI we don't need to preprogram the machine to do
some work,
 We have create machine with programmed algorithm which
can work with own intelligent which is awesomeness of AI.
 Machine Learning An application of AI that gives
machines the ability to learn and improve without the
help of humans or new programming.
How AI Works
 an AI system accepts data input in the form of speech, text, image, etc.
 The system then processes data by applying various rules and algorithms,
interpreting, predicting, and acting on the input data. Upon processing,
the system provides an outcome, i.e., success or failure, on data input.
 The result is then assessed through analysis, discovery, and feedback.
Lastly, the system uses its assessments to adjust input data, rules and
algorithms, and target outcomes. This loop continues until the desired
result is achieved.
How AI Works (1)
Key Components of AI
Key Components of AI (1)
1. Machine learning: Machine learning is an AI application that
automatically learns and improves from previous sets of
experiences without the requirement for explicit programming.
2. Deep learning: Deep learning is a subset of ML that learns by
processing data with the help of artificial neural networks.
3. Neural network: are computer systems that are loosely modeled
on neural connections in the human brain and enable deep
learning.
Key Components of AI (2)
4. Cognitive computing: Cognitive computing aims to recreate the
human thought process in a computer model. It seeks to imitate
and improve the interaction between humans and machines by
understanding human language and the meaning of images.
5. Natural language processing (NLP): NLP is a tool that allows
computers to comprehend, recognize, interpret, and produce
human language and speech.
6. Computer vision: Computer vision employs deep learning and
pattern identification to interpret image content (graphs, tables,
PDF pictures, and videos).
What is the intelligence?
 Ability of problem solving
 The ability to think, plan and schedule
 The ability to Information manipulation
 Ability to tackle ambiguous problems
 Ability to learn and recognize
 Ability to understand and perceive
What is the intelligence? (1)
 Intelligence is made-up of following components:
Approaches to AI
 The exciting new effort to make computers thinks … machine with
minds, in the full and literal sense” (Haugeland 1985)
 The automation of activities that we associate with human thinking,
activities such as decision-making, problem solving,
learning,…(Bellman, 1978)
Approaches to AI (1)
 “The art of creating machines that perform functions that require
intelligence when performed by people” (Kurzweil, 1990)
 “The study of how to make computers do things at which, at the
moment, people do better”, (Rich and Knight, 1991)
Systems that act like humans
 You enter a room which has a computer terminal. You have a fixed period of
time to type what you want into the terminal, and study the replies. At the
other end of the line is either a human being or a computer system.
 If it is a computer system, and at the end of the period you cannot reliably
determine whether it is a system or a human, then the system is deemed to
be intelligent.
?
Systems that act like humans
 The Turing Test approach
 a human questioner cannot tell if
 there is a computer or a human answering his question, via
teletype (remote communication)
 The computer must behave intelligently
 Intelligent behavior
 to achieve human-level performance in all cognitive tasks
Systems that act like humans
 These cognitive tasks include:
 Natural language processing
 for communication with human
 Knowledge representation
 to store information effectively & efficiently
 Automated reasoning
 to retrieve & answer questions using the stored information
 Machine learning
 to adapt to new circumstances
The total Turing Test
 Includes two more issues:
 Computer vision
to perceive objects (seeing)
 Robotics
to move objects (acting)
Approaches to AI (2)
 “ The study of mental faculties through the use of
computational models”,(Charniak et al. 1985)
 “The study of the computations that make it possible to
perceive, reason and act”,(Winston, 1992)
Approaches to AI (3)
 “Computational Intelligence is the study of the design of intelligent
agents” (Poole et al, 1998)
 “AI….is concerned with intelligent behavior in artifact”, (Nilsson, 1998)
