ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
INTRODUCT ION
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a specialty within computer science that is concerned with creating
systems that can replicate human intelligence and problem-solving abilities. They do this by
taking in a myriad of data, processing it, and learning from their past in order to streamline and
improve in the future. A normal computer program would need human interference in order to fix
bugs and improve processes. Artificial intelligence has been used in computer programs for
years, but it is now applied to many other products and services.
To understand the idea behind AI, you should think about what distinguishes human intelligence
from that of other creatures – our ability to learn from experiences and apply these lessons to
new situations. We can do this because of our advanced brainpower; we have more neurons than
any animal species.
Today’s computers don’t match the human biological neural network – not even close. But they
have one significant advantage over us: their ability to analyze vast amounts of data and
experiences much faster than humans could ever hope.
IMPORTANCE OF AI
AI automates repetitive learning and discovery through data
Instead of automating manual tasks, AI performs frequent, high-volume, computerized tasks. And it
does so reliably and without fatigue. Of course, humans are still essential to set up the system and ask
the right questions.
AI adds intelligence to existing products
. Many products you already use will be improved with AI capabilities, much like Siri was added as a
feature to a new generation of Apple products. Automation, conversational platforms, bots and smart
machines can be combined with large amounts of data to improve many technologies. Upgrades at
home and in the workplace, range from security intelligence and smart cams to investment analysis.
AI adapts through progressive learning
algorithms to let the data do the programming. AI finds structure and regularities in data so that
algorithms can acquire skills. Just as an algorithm can teach itself to play chess, it can teach itself what
product to recommend next online. And the models adapt when given new data.
AI analyzes more and deeper data
using neural networks that have many hidden layers. Building a fraud detection system with five hidden
layers used to be impossible. All that has changed with incredible computer power and big data. You
need lots of data to train deep learning models because they learn directly from the data.
AI achieves incredible accuracy
through deep neural networks. For example, your interactions with Alexa and Google are all based on
deep learning. And these products keep getting more accurate the more you use them. In the medical
field, AI techniques from deep learning and object recognition can now be used to pinpoint cancer on
medical images with improved accuracy.
AI gets the most out of data.
When algorithms are self-learning, the data itself is an asset. The answers are in the data – you just have
to apply AI to find them. Since the role of the data is now more important than ever, it can create a
competitive advantage. If you have the best data in a competitive industry, even if everyone is applying
similar techniques, the best data will win. But using that data to innovate responsibly requires
trustworthy AI. And that means your AI systems should be ethical, equitable and sustainable.
