What is Artificial
Intelligence (AI) ?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is
the area of computer
science focusing on
creating machines that can
engage in behaviors that
humans consider
intelligent..
 About Artificial
Intelligence
The ability to create intelligent machines has
intrigued humans since ancient times, and today
with computers and 50 years of research into AI
programming techniques, the dream of smart
machines is becoming a reality. Researchers are
creating systems which can mimic human
thought, understand speech, beat the best human
chess player, and countless other feats never
before possible
Purposes of Artificial
Intelligence
Methods of artificial intelligence used as a
means in gaining greater insight into the
basic mechanisms of perception, memory and
thought.
To make machines become intelligent.
AI has spawned many great successes such
as advances in problem solving algorithms,
search algorithms, knowledge representation,
machine learning, object oriented
programming, natural language
understanding and expert systems.
Advantages Of A.I.
It is more easier to use AI to do required
detailed instructions for users.
AI is used for military benefits In turn, there
will be less injuries and stress to human
beings.
AI can execute certain tasks faster than a
human can.
AI can perform certain tasks better than many
or even most people.
Disadvantages Of A.I.
There is a lot of controversy about the
ultimate similarity between human cognitive
functioning and computer functioning.
It can be very expensive
Future Implications A.I.
 AI began as an attempt to answer some of the most fundamental
questions about human existence by understanding the nature of
intelligence, but it has grown into a scientific and technological
field affecting many aspects of commerce and society.
 Even as AI technology becomes integrated into the fabric of
everyday life, AI researchers remain focused on the grand
challenges of automating intelligence. Work is progressing on
developing systems that converse in natural language, that
perceive and respond to their surroundings, and that encode and
provide useful access to all of human knowledge and expertise.
The pursuit of the ultimate goals of AI -- the design of intelligent
artifacts; understanding of human intelligence; abstract
understanding of intelligence (possibly superhuman) -- continues
to have practical consequences in the form of new industries,
enhanced functionality for existing systems, increased productivity
in general, and improvements in the quality of life. But the
ultimate promises of AI are still decades away, and the necessary
advances in knowledge and technology will require a sustained
fundamental research effort.
Examples of The Use of
A.I.
Credit card providers, telephone companies,
mortgage lenders, banks, and the U.S.
Government employ AI systems to detect
fraud and expedite financial transactions, with
daily transaction volumes in the billions.
These systems first use learning algorithms to
construct profiles of customer usage patterns,
and then use the resulting profiles to detect
unusual patterns and take the appropriate
action (e.g., disable the credit card). Such
automated oversight of financial transactions
is an important component in achieving a
viable basis for electronic commerce.
 A True Work Of A.I
Over the past couple decades much work, and
progress, has been made in the pursuit of creating
artificial minds and lifelike humanoid movement.
Researchers from many different nations have
experimented with recreating realistic human
characteristics - with some success. Honda's
humanoid robot ASIMO leads the way in mobility,
the 120 cm high robot has already mastered the
complicated balancing act required when walking,
running and jumping and it can safely navigate
around random objects. ASIMO is also capable of
recognising people and faces and greets people
accordingly, he can also move where indicated
and recognise his name. A remarkable machine
no doubt, but ASIMO is not truly intelligent.
