learned fundamentals to predict outcomes based on new data through training on datasets, generating inferred functions (Marsland,
2015). Following training, the system compares output against intended results to refine the model in case of discrepancies.
Conversely, unsupervised algorithms operate on unclassified data, uncovering hidden structures within unlabeled datasets
(Marsland, 2015). They infer relationships among datasets to reveal underlying patterns. Semi-supervised algorithms, positioned
between supervised and unsupervised learning, utilize both labeled and unlabeled data for training, enhancing learning accuracy
and suitability for tagged datasets (Marsland, 2015). Reinforcement learning, another machine learning approach, relies on
environmental interaction to adapt behaviors and improve machine and software performance (Acemoglu & Restrepo, 2018).
Machine learning empowers computers to analyze vast datasets swiftly and accurately, identifying potential risks within data
systems (Marsland, 2015). When combined with AI, machine learning enables computers to efficiently process large data volumes,
offering an optimal solution for organizations and users alike.

DEEP LEARNING

Deep learning, a component of Artificial Intelligence, mimics the cognitive processes of the human brain, facilitating the analysis

APPLICATIONS & TYPES OF AI

The inception of Artificial Intelligence traces back to 1956, initiated by American computer scientist John McCarthy (Jackson,
2019). Presently, computers facilitate automated processes across diverse sectors in business and technology, perpetually reshaping
the global landscape six decades since its inception. Artificial Intelligence enables machines and computer systems to replicate
intelligent human functions, encompassing processes such as self-correction, reasoning, and learning (Jackson, 2019). Its capacity
to mimic human intelligence renders it adaptable for a multitude of applications.

TYPES OF AI

According to computer scientists and software engineers, there are four types of AI. The first type of AI is reactive machines
(Jackson, 2019). An example of a responsive device is Deep Blue, which is an IBM chess program. The Deep Blue Machine works
by identifying and making predictions of the pieces on the chessboard. It is capable of analyzing its moves and the opponent's moves
(Maridakis, 2017). The machine is not useful since it lacks memory that makes it unable to recall past experiences. The second type
of AI is limited memory machines. Finite memory machines can recall past experiences and use them to make future decisions
(Jackson, 2019). Vehicle engineers today use the concept of limited memory to make automatic vehicles that make them respond to
specific commands. Thirdly, there are Artificial Intelligence systems that use the idea of self-awareness to perform different
activities (Jackson, 2019). Machines using the idea of self-awareness can understand the events within their current environment.
Lastly, some Artificial Intelligence systems apply the concept of "Theory of Mind" (Jackson, 2019). Such systems can understand
how the beliefs and intentions can affect the decisions they make. Artificial Intelligence aims at providing machines with human
Intelligence, which enables them to perform many operations as the modern man does.
