What is Artificial Intelligence?
A.I.(Artificial Intelligence) is all around us. In fact, it seems like every week there is a new breakthrough in the field and a new record set in some task previously done by humans. Advancements in computing are pushing progress quicker than ever.
A MATURING TECHNOLOGY
Not too long ago A.I. may have seemed a distant dream to researchers. Today it is a part of our daily life. Just take a look at some of the apps you use every day:
- A.I. powered predictions make navigation apps possible.
- Features we have come to rely on in mobile banking are based on A.I. systems.
- Social media's use of neural networks to power facial recognition and contextual learning to understand the content of posts.
Deep learning is quickly becoming a part of our everyday life.
What makes A.I. possible?
MACHINE LEARNING
Gives "Computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed"
Arthur Samuel, American pioneer in the field of computer gaming & artificial intelligence, he coined the term "machine learning" in 1959
Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it learn for themselves. The process of learning begins with observations or data, Such as examples, direct experience or instruction, in order to look for patterns in data and make better decisions in the future based on the examples that we provide.
The primary aim is to allow computer programs to learn automatically without human intervention or assistance and adjust actions accordingly.
