Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. It is a
concept of giving human-like intelligence to the
machines. Though the computers do their work
faster and better than the human beings, the
intelligence of them is zero because they just
follow the set of instructions given by the user.
In case of wrong instruction, they do wrong
processing. It is because they do not have
intelligence of their own. So, the scientists are in
research of giving them artificial
intelligence, so that they can understand the natural languages of the human beings and interact. They can
express their feelings and many more.
Components of AI
Different disciplines contributed their ideas, viewpoint, and techniques to plan the foundation of Al that acts as
components of Al. Some of the major contributions of various disciplines a given below
1. Philosophy: It introduces the concept of logic and methods of reasoning and studying the mind as a
physical system. It creates the foundation for learning language, and rationality. It also expresses
knowledge-based action to be embedded into the machine to act with AI
2. Mathematics: It introduces the concepts of the formal representation of facts and proof, algorithms,
computation, and reasoning with uncertain information.
3. Economics: It introduces the concepts of the formal theory of rational decision.
4. Neuroscience: It introduces the concepts of mental activity which can be introduced into the machine.
5. Psychology: It introduces the concepts of the brain as an information processing device and
phenomenon of perception and sensory-motor control.
6. Linguistics: It introduces the concepts of knowledge representation and grammar and how does
language relates to thought.
7. Control Theory and cybernetics: It introduces the concepts of designing the system that maximizes an
objective function over time. This is roughly similar to the concepts of Al that behave optimally. It
describes how artifacts (objects) can operate under their own control. That is, it introduces the concept of
a self-controlling machine.
8. Computer science and engineering: This component introduces the concept of hardware, software, and
operating system. Apart from this, it also discusses the programming language and tools used in Al.
Uses/Applications of Al
The potential applications of Artificial Intelligence are abundant (plentiful). They stretch from the military for
autonomous control and target identification, to the entertainment industry for computer games and robotic pets.
Let's also not forget big establishments dealing with huge amounts of information such as hospitals, banks,
industries, and insurances, which can use Al to predict customer behavior and detect trends.
1. Game playing:
Robotics
Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of
robots. It is a discipline overlapping artificial intelligence and mechanical engineering. It is concerned with
building robot programmable devices consisting of mechanical actuators and sensory organs that are linked to a
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is the use of various services, such as software development platforms, servers, storage, and
software, over the Internet, often referred to as the "cloud". It is
defined as a type of computing that relies on sharing computing
resources rather than having handle applications.
Types of Clouds
Clouds can be classified as public, private, and hybrid. Public cloud is made available to the general public or
a large industry group. Private cloud computing environment resides within the boundaries of an organization
and is used exclusively for the organizational benefits Hybrid cloud is the combination of both public and
private cloud. Sensitive with this cloud organization might run non-core applications in a public cloud, while
maintaining core applications and data in a private cloud.
Big Data
Big Data refers to complex and large data sets that have to be processed and analyzed to uncover valuable
information that can benefit businesses and organizations.
It has features like:
Virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR) is a term that expresses computer-based simulated environments. Which can perceive as
in the real world, as well as in unreal worlds.
Classification of e-Commerce
1. B2B (Business to Business) Sells products or services to other businesses. e.g. www.freemarkets.com
2. B2C (Business to Consumer) Sells products or services directly to consumers. e.g. www.amazon.com,
www.yahoo.com.
3. C2B (Consumer to Business) Consumer fixes a price on their own, which businesses accept or decline,
e.g., www.priceline.com
4. C2C (Consumer to Consumer) Consumer sells directly to other consumer. e.g.
www.ebay.com
Advantage of e-Commerce
Some of the advantages of e-commerce are:
1. It enables more individuals to work at home, and to do less traveling for shopping, resulting in less
traffic on the roads, and lower air pollution.
Disadvantage of e-Commerce
1. Businesses often calculate return on investment numbers before committing to any new technology.
Costs, which are a function of technology, can change dramatically during even short-lived e-commerce
implementation projects.
2. Many companies have had trouble recruiting and retaining employees with the technological, design,
and business process skills needed to create an effective ecommerce presence.
3. The difficulty of integrating existing databases and transaction-processing software designed for
traditional commerce into the software that enables e-commerce.
4. Many businesses face cultural and legal impediment (barrier) to e-commerce. Some consumers are still
fearful (afraid) of sending their credit card numbers over the Internet.
5. Consumers are simply resistant to change and are uncomfortable viewing merchandise on a computer
screen rather than in person.
e-Medicine
e-Medicine is an online clinical medical knowledge database, which is an approach to providing health care
service to a large number of people spread in different locations. It is mainly beneficial for the people of rural
areas with limited or no medical facilities. eMedicine is targeted to provide high-quality healthcare service. It
minimizes the time and cost required for treatment. e-Medicine usually contains up-to-date, searchable, peer-
reviewed medical journals, online physician reference textbooks, and a complete article database on medical
specialties. This Internet medical library and clinical knowledge base are available to physicians, medical
students, nurses, other health professionals, and patients.
e-Governance
e-Governance is the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance the access and
delivery of government services to benefit citizens, business partners, and employees. It transforms the
traditional government using ICT to make it clear, effective, and accountable. However, it doesn't mean that
putting more computers on the desks of
government officials is e governance.
Governance is more than just a government
website on the Internet. Political, social,
economic, and technological aspects
determine e-governance. It establishes a
relationship between government officials
and citizens, providing greater access to
government information and services by
making the government accessible online,
promoting citizen participation by enabling
citizens to interact more conveniently with
government officials, such as by requesting
government service and filing required
documents through the website, increasing
government accountability by making its
operations more transparent, thereby reducing the opportunities for corruption, and supporting development
goals by providing business, rural and traditionally underserved communities. with information,
opportunities, and communications capabilities. For example, For example,
https://www.nepal.gov.np/,https://www.moe.gov.np/, https://www.moha.gov.np/
Objectives of e-Governance
Some of the objectives of e-Governance are:
E-Governance refers to the provision of online public services to citizens and
businesses.
Services for citizens include the registration to government services such as
health care, education, or employment benefits.
For businesses, E-Governance services can take the form of online alerts for
public procurements or funding opportunities as well as information and support
on applicable legislation in a given sector.
E-Governance helps to cut down their administrative costs, speed up procedures
and therefore increase efficiency and reactivity.
It could improve and accelerate administrative efficiency.
Many types of mobile computers have been introduced since the 1990s, including a
wearable computer, PDA, enterprise digital assistant, smartphone, UMPC (Ultra-mobile
PC), Tablet PC

It provides improved communication between connected electronic devices.
Transferring data packets over a connected network saves time, effort, and
money.
Disadvantages of IoT
As the number of connected devices increases and more information is shared
between devices, the chances of the system being attacked also increases.
7.8 e-Learning
e-Learning applies to a learning/teaching or understanding about a topic with the help of Information
and Communication Technology. e-Learning allows us to learn anywhere and usually at any
time, as long as we have a properly configured computer, networks, devices, etc. e-
Learning can be CD ROM-based, Network-based, Intranet-based, or Internet-based.
It can include text, video, audio, animation, and virtual environments. It can be a very
rich learning experience that can even go beyond the lecture-based crowded classroom.
It's a self-paced, hands-on learning experience. The quality of the electronic-based
training, as in every form of training, is in its content and its delivery. However, e-
learning can suffer from many of the same pitfalls (drawbacks) as classroom training,
such as boring slides, monotonous speech, and little opportunity for interaction. The
beauty of e-learning is that new software that allows the creation of very effective
learning environments that can overcome the classic material being used in traditional
learning. For example, http://www.howstuffworks.com/
The concept of e-learning has become more popular throughout the globe because of
the Covid 19 pandemic. The tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex Meetings,
Google Meet are also used for learning purposes.
7.9 m-Commerce
m-Commerce (mobile commerce) is the buying and selling of goods and services through wireless
technology i.e., handheld devices such as cellular telephones and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
