What is AI?
Artificial?
Intelligence?
A branch of computer science by which we can create
intelligent machines which can behave like a human,
think like humans, and able to make decisions.
Components of intelligence
Reasoning: why
Learning: how
Problem Solving: inference
Perception: sensors
Linguistic Intelligence: understand human
language(verbal, written, emoji)
AI, ML and deep learning
Goals of AI
Replicate human intelligence
Solve Knowledge-intensive tasks
An intelligent connection of perception and action
Building a machine which can perform tasks that
requires human intelligence
Creating some system which can exhibit intelligent
behavior, learn new things by itself, demonstrate,
explain, and can advise to its user.
Disciplines required by AI
Advantages of AI
High Accuracy with fewer errors:
High-Speed:
High reliability:
Useful for risky areas
Digital Assistant:
Public utility:
Disadvantages of AI
High Cost:
Can't think out of the box:
No feelings and emotions:
Increase dependence on machines:
No Original Creativity (yet):
