Artificial Intelligence Disciplines

Following are major disciplines used with Artificial Intelligence:

Philosophy
Mathematics
Economics
Neuroscience
Psychology
Computer engineering
Control theory and cybernetics
Linguistics
Big Data
Now let's look the importance of each discipline.

Philosophy
Philosophy is very important as it attempts to answer important questions like
"Can a machine act intelligently?", "Can it solve like human being?", "Are
computer intelligence
is like Human one?" etc...

Mathematics
Mathematics is used to write the logic and algorithm
for machine learning. Philosophy thinks and defines particular
intelligence and way it should work. But here comes the intelligence
of Mathematicians to come out with calculations and algorithms for learning.
Good knowledge of mathematics is a must skills to be able to develop model of AI.

Economics
Lots of Economics reasoning is used in developing programs for Artificial
Intelligence.

Neuroscience
Study of Neuroscience providing information about how human brain works and
how neurons responds to a particular event.
This enables AI scientists to develop programming model to work like human brain.

Psychology
The Psychology is used to study and find the process of thinking of humans and
animals.
This discipline enables data science to understand the Brain,
Behaviour and Person which is essential to make things like human brain.

Computer engineering
Computer engineer write the codes for making the neural network for artificial
intelligence.
It then updates the values/properties of the neural network based on the data
provided to the system.
This way Artificial Intelligence is achieved. Computer programmer should have very
high programming
skills along with the knowledge of Mathematics and other disciplines used with AI.

Control theory and cybernetics


This theory describes how things operate under their own control.
It is scientific study of working of humans, animals and machines control and
communicate with each other.
Knowledge of this technology is also very important.

Linguistics
The modern Linguistics is called computational linguistics or natural language
processing.
The natural language processing allows the intelligent system to communicate
through language such as English.
To natural language processing experience is also a must for developing Artificial
Intelligence system for machines.

Big Data
Big Data is fueling the growth of Artificial Intelligence as it provides a platform
for saving and
querying huge data sets. AI requires to process a lot of data and its not possible
to save data in
one computer and Big Data plays big role here. Big Data also provides distributed
computing environment
which can be used for training the model on distributed system.
