Class Notes 7
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that aims to create machines
that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning,
reasoning,
problem-solving, perception, and language understanding.
Types of AI:
1. **Narrow AI** - AI systems that are designed for specific tasks (e.g., Siri, Google Assistant).
2. **General AI** - Hypothetical AI that can perform any intellectual task that a human can do.
3. **Super AI** - A future concept where AI surpasses human intelligence.
Key AI Technologies:
- Machine Learning (ML) - AI systems that improve with experience.
- Neural Networks - Algorithms inspired by the human brain.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) - Enables computers to understand human language.
- Computer Vision - AI that interprets and understands visual data.
Applications of AI:
- Healthcare (diagnosing diseases, robotic surgeries)
- Finance (fraud detection, automated trading)
- Autonomous Vehicles (self-driving cars)
- Customer Service (chatbots, virtual assistants)
AI continues to evolve and is shaping the future of technology in numerous ways.
