Introduction to
Artificial Intelligence
 What is AI?
• The term AI composed of two words:
Artificial Intelligence

Artificial: Non Natural/anything that is man made.

Intelligence: Ability to understand , think and learn

“AI can be defined as a man-made thinking power”

What is AI?
• any task performed by a program or a machine
that, if a human carried out the same activity, we
would say the human had to apply intelligence to
accomplish the task.

• AI is a technology and a branch of Computer

Science that deals with the study and development
of Intelligent machine and Software.
• AI is basically creating intelligent
software and making a machine that
has

• The power to think like human

• The power to learn like human
• The power to make decisions like human
• It is the Science of making a machine
and act like and Intelligent human
being.
AI is accomplished by
• Studying how human brain thinks,
learns, decides and works while trying
to solve a problem.

• Based on this outcome of these

studies an intelligent software is
designed

How Do You Think Artificial Intelligence can help
you as you go about your daily life?

Artificial
Intelligence
AI has three Domains
• Data
• Computer Vision
• Natural Language Processing
What is DATA?
• Data collection is the process of gathering and
measuring information from countless different
sources.
• In order to use the data we collect to develop
practical artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning solutions, it must be collected and stored
in a way that makes sense for the business problem
at hand.

What is Natural Language
Processing(NLP)

• NLP makes it possible for humans to talk to

machines:” This branch of AI enables computers to
understand, interpret, and manipulate
human language.

What is Computer Vision
•  computer vision is defined as science of making
computers or machines visually enabled,
• i.e., they can analyze and understand an image.”
Human vision starts at the biological camera’s
“eyes,” which takes one picture about every 200
milliseconds, while computer vision starts by
providing input to the machine.

 Domains of AI

Even if the three domains of AI- Natural Language Processing, Computer

Vision, and Data for AI are quite distinct from each other, they together
constitute the concept of Artificial Intelligence
History Of AI
 History of AI
• Summer Research project on AI led by
– John McCarthy(Dartmouth College)
– Marvin Minsky ( Harvard University)
– Nathaniel Rochester(IBM)
– Claude Sha
– nnon (Bell Telephone Laboratories)
Purpose of Summer
Research project
• To tackle “every aspect of learning or
any other feature of intelligence that
can in principle be so precisely
described, that a machine can be
made to simulate it.”
Types of AI
 Machine Learning
• It is the art of study of Algorithms that
learn from examples and experiences.
• Machine learns on its own to find
rules.
Machine

Supervised Unsupervised Reinforcement

Learning Learning Learning
Supervised Learning
• It is related to the concept of ‘Work on
Me’.
• Human is teaching the learning and
hence called supervised learning.
Unsupervised Learning
• I am happy myself in learning.
• The machine learns on its own.
Reinforcement Learning
• My way of doing things , My rules!
• Here the computer uses the Hit and
Trial method to do the learning.
 Deep Learning
• It is a sub field of machine learning.
• Machine uses different layers to learn
from the data.
• The depth of the model is represented
by the number of layers in the model.
• In deep learning ,the learning phase is
done through a neural network.
