Abstracts
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is a multidisciplinary
field whose goal is to automate activities that presently require
human intelligence. Recent successes in A.I. include computerized
medical diagnosticians and systems that automatically customize
hardware to particular user requirements.
The major problem areas addressed in A.I. can be
summarized as Perception, Manipulation, Reasoning,
Communication, and Learning. Perception is concerned with
building models of the physical world for sensory input (visual,
audio, etc.). Manipulation is concerned with articulating
appendages (e.g., mechanical arms, devices) in order to effect a
desired state in the physical world. Reasoning is concerned with
higher level cognitive functions such as planning, drawing
inferential conclusions from a world model, diagnosing, designing,
etc. Communication treats the problem understanding and
conveying information Language.
Finally, Learning treats the problem of automatically
improving system performance over time based on the system’s
experience. Many important technical concepts have arisen from
A.I. that unify these diverse problem areas and that form the
foundation of the scientific discipline.
The AI systems function based on a Knowledge Base of
facts and rules that characterize the system’s domain of
proficiency. The elements of knowledge Base consist of
independently valid (or at least plausible) chunks of information.
Introduction
Intelligence is an approach to make a computer, a rob
artificial to, or a product to think how smart human think. AI is a
study of how human brain think, learn, decide and work, when it
tries to solve problems. And finally this study outputs intelligent
software systems.
The aim of AI is to improve computer functions
which are related to human knowledge, for example, reasoning,
learning, and problem-solving.The intelligence is intangible. It is
composed of
Reasoning
Learning
Problem Solving
Perception
Linguistic Intelligence
The objectives of AI research are reasoning,
knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language
processing, realization, and ability to move and manipulate objects.
There are long-term goals in the general intelligence sector.
Approaches include statistical methods, computational
intelligence, and traditional coding AI. During the AI research
related to search and mathematical optimization, artificial neural
networks and methods based on statistics, probability, and
economics, we use many tools. Computer science attracts AI in the
field of science, mathematics, psychology, linguistics, philosophy
and soon.
Artificial Intelligence
While a number of definitions of artificial intelligence
(AI) have surfaced over the last few decades, John McCarthy
offers the following definition in this 2004 paper (PDF, 106 KB)
(link resides outside IBM), “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, but AI does not have to confine
itself to methods that are biologically observable.”
However, decades before this definition, the birth of the
artificial intelligence conversation was denoted by Alan Turing’s
seminal work, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” (PDF,
89.8 KB) (link resides outside of IBM), which was published in
1950.
In this paper, Turing, often referred to as the “father of
computer science”, asks the following question, “Can machines
think?” From there, he offers a test, now famously known as the
“Turing Test”, where a human interrogator would try to distinguish
between a computer and human text response.
1. AI Application in E-Commerce
Personalized Shopping Artificial Intelligence
technology is used to create recommendation engines through
which you can engage better with your customers.
These recommendations are made in accordance with
their browsing history, preference, and interests. It helps in
improving your relationship with your customers and their
loyalty towards your brand.
AI-powered Assistants
Virtual shopping assistants and chat bots help improve the
user experience while shopping online. Natural Language
Processing is used to make the conversation sound as human and
personal as possible. Moreover, these assistants can have real-time
engagement with your customers.
For example, did you know that on amazon.com, soon,
customer service could be handled by chat bots?
Fraud Prevention
Credit card frauds and fake reviews are two of the most
significant issues that E-Commerce companies deal with. By
considering the usage patterns, AI can help reduce the possibility
of credit card frauds taking place. Many customers prefer to buy a
product or service based on customer reviews. AI can help identify
and handle fake reviews.
2. Limited Memory
Limited memory machines are machines that, in addition
to having the capabilities of purely reactive machines, are also
capable of learning from historical data to make decisions. Nearly
all existing applications that we know of come under this category
of AI. All present-day AI systems, such as those using deep
learning, are trained by large volumes of training data that they
store in their memory to form a reference model for solving future
problems.
For instance, an image recognition AI is trained using
thousands of pictures and their labels to teach it to name objects it
scans. When an image is scanned by such an AI, it uses the
training images as references to understand the contents of the
image presented to it, and based on its “learning experience” it
labels new images with increasing accuracy.
3. Theory of Mind
While the previous two types of AI have been and are
found in abundance, the next two types of AI exist, for now, either
as a concept or a work in progress. Theory of mind AI is the next
level of AI systems that researchers are currently engaged in
innovating.
A theory of mind level AI will be able to better understand
the entities it is interacting with by discerning their needs,
emotions, beliefs, and thought processes. While artificial emotional
intelligence is already a budding industry and an area of interest
for leading AI researchers, achieving Theory of mind level of AI
will require development in other branches of AI as well. This is
because to truly understand human needs, I machines will have to
perceive humans as individuals whose minds can be shaped by
multiple factors, essentially “understanding” humans.
4. Self-aware
This is the final stage of AI development which currently
exists only hypothetically. Self-aware AI, which, self
explanatorily, is an AI that has evolved to be so akin to the human
brain that it has developed self-awareness. Creating this type of Ai,
which is decades, if not centuries away from materializing, is and
will always be the ultimate objective of all AI research.
This type of AI will not only be able to understand and
evoke emotions in those it interacts with, but also have emotions,
needs, beliefs, and potentially desires of its own. And this is the
type of AI that doomsayers of the technology are wary of.
Although the development of self-aware can potentially boost our
progress a civilization by leaps and bounds, it can also catastrophe.
This is because once self-aware, the AI would be capable
of having ideas like self- preservation which may directly or
indirectly spell the end for humanity, as such an entity could easily
outmaneuver the intellect of any human being and plot elaborate
schemes to take over humanity.
The alternate system of classification that is more
generally used in tech parlance is the classification of the
technology into Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), Artificial
General Intelligence (AGI), and Artificial Super intelligence (ASI).
5. Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)
This type of artificial intelligence represents all the existing
AI, including even the most complicated and capable AI that has
ever been created to date. Artificial narrow intelligence refers to AI
systems that can only perform a specific task autonomously using
human-like capabilities.
These machines can do nothing more than what they are
programmed to do, and thus have a very limited or narrow range of
competencies. According to the aforementioned system of
classification, these systems correspond to all the reactive and
limited memory AI. Even the most complex AI that uses machine
learning and deep learning to teach itself falls under ANI.
AI in Virtual Assistance
Alexa, Siri and Google Assistance are the major examples
of virtual assistance while automated bots answering the questions
of customers are the example of AI-based chat bots working with
the best performance.AI techniques are used in Chat bots to
automate the customer support and assistance system more
expedient and trouble-free. Chatbots can transform your
business with multiple benefits keeping the client-customer
relationship more intact.
AI in Agriculture
In the agriculture sector, autonomous tractors and AI-base
drones monitoring are used to enhance the productivity and crop
yield offarmlands. Robots and automated machines are also used in
these fields to monitor crop health conditions and harvesting.
AI in Automotive
The Vehicles or Self-driving Cars are the other examples of
AI, fully integrated into such a system to make the machine work
automatically while understanding the nearby surroundings and
real-world scenarios.
AI-based face recognition and biometric systems help to keep
track the human beings and provide a safe zone to live in. Security
cameras surveillance equipment is widely used to keep the cities
and habitats safe.
AI in E-commerce
E-commerce-backed automated warehousing and supply
chain management is reducing the manpower and helping storage
companies to manage the huge amount of stock or inventory with
proper management and supply system. This system is also helping
the e-commerce sector to operate with better efficiency and
improve its operating margins.
The AI-based automated warehousing management
system is not only getting benefits but machine learning is
improving the online shopping experience of the customers.
Automated robots are handling the inventory performing various
tedious with better efficiency allowing humans to get involved in
decision-making tasks to improve the overall supply-chain and
logistics management.
This technology is also providing insights of customers to
companies using sentiment analysis to understand their feelings
and offer them better products and services to gain more market
share in the industry.
AI in Healthcare
Similarly, AI in healthcare sector is playing a vital role in
empowering the machines to diagnose, analyze and predict the
various types of diseases, and monitor the patient’s health
conditions.It is also helping scientists to explore the new drug
discoveries and medicine development providing the more
effective treatments for people to get well soon and avoid health
problems in their life.
3. Vision:
It can be said as a field which enables the machines to
see. Machine vision captures and analyses visual information using
a camera, analog-to-digital conversion, and digital signal
processing. It can be compared to human eyesight but it is not
bound by the human limitation which can enable it to see through
walls (now that would be interesting if we can have implants that
can make us see through the wall). It is usually achieved through
machine learning to get the best possible results so we could say
that these two fields are interlinked.
4. Robotics:
It is a field of engineering focused on the design and
manufacturing of robots. Robots are often used to perform tasks
that are difficult for humans to perform or perform consistently.
Examples include car assembly lines, in hospitals, office cleaner,
serving foods, and preparing foods in hotels, patrolling farm areas
and even as police officers.
Recently machine learning has been used to achieve
certain good results in building robots that interact socially
(Sophia).
Autonomous Vehicles:
This area of AI has gathered a lot of attention. the list of
vehicles includes cars, buses, trucks, trains, ships, submarines, and
autopilot flying drones etc.
Advantages
3) Available 24x7:
An Average human will work for 4–6 hours a day
excluding the breaks. Humans are built in such a way to get some
time out for refreshing themselves and get ready for a new day of
work and they even have weekly of fed to stay intact with their
work-life and personal life. But using AI we can make machines
work 24x7 without any breaks and they don’t even get bored,
unlike humans.
Example: Educational Institutes and Helpline centers are
getting many queries and issues which can be handled effectively
using AI.
5) Digital Assistance:
Some of the highly advanced organizations use digital
assistants to interact with a user which saves the need for human
resources the digital assistants also used in many website to
provide things users also used in many websites to provide things
that users want. We can chat with them about what we are looking
for. Some chatbots are designed in such a way that it’s become
hard to determine that we’re chatting with a chatbot or a human
being.
Example: We all know that organizations have a customer
support team that needs to clarify the doubts and queries of the
customers. Using AI the organizations can set up a Voice both or
Chatbot which can help customers with all their queries. We can
see many organizations already started using them on their
websites and mobile applications.
6) Faster Decisions:
Using AI alongside other technologies we can make
machines take decisions faster than a human and carry out actions
quicker. While taking a decision human will analyze many factors
both emotionally and practically but AI-powered machine works
on what it is programmed and delivers the results in a faster way.
Example: We all have played Chess games in Windows. It
is nearly impossible to beat CPU in the hard mode because of the
AI behind that game. It will take the best possible step in a very
short time according to the algorithms used behind it.
7) Daily Applications:
Daily applications such as Apple’s Siri,
Window’s Cortana, Google’s OK Google are frequently used in
our daily routine whether it is for searching a location, taking a
selfie, making a phone call, replying to a mail and many more.
Example: Around 20 years ago, when we are planning to
go somewhere we used to ask a person who already went there for
the directions. But now all we have to do is say “OK Google where
is Visakhapatnam”. It will show you Visakhapatnam’s location on
google map and the best path between you and Visakhapatnam.
8) New Inventions:
AI is powering many inventions in almost every domain
which will help humans solve the majority of complex problems.
Disadvantages
High costs of creations
Making human lazy
Unemployment
No Emotions
Lacking out of box thinking
3) Unemployment:
As AI is replacing the majority of the repetitive tasks and
other works with robots, human interference is becoming less
which will cause a major problem in the employment standards.
Every organization is looking to replace the minimum qualified
individuals with AI robots which can do similar work with more
efficiency.
4) No Emotions:
There is no doubt that machines are much better when it
comes to working efficiently but they cannot replace the human
connection that makes the team. Machines cannot develop a bond
with humans which is an essential attribute when comes to Team
Management.
Conclusion
To better prepare for the future society in which
artificial intelligences (AI) will have much more pervasive
influence on our lives, a better understanding of the difference
between AI and human intelligence is necessary. Human and
biological intelligence cannot be separated from the process of
self-replication.
