 What is AI?
• Artificial defines "man-made“, and intelligence defines "thinking power"

• Or “the ability to learn and solve problems”, hence Artificial Intelligence means
"a man-made thinking power.“

• AI is 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.

• Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge.

• Knowledge is the information acquired through experience.

• Experience is the knowledge gained through exposure (training).

3

• Therefore, artificial intelligence as the “copy of something natural (i.e., human
beings) ‘WHO’ is capable of acquiring and applying the information it has gained
through exposure.”

• AI exists when a machine can have human-based skills such as learning, reasoning,
and solving problems

• With AI you do not need to preprogram a machine to do some work, despite that
you can create a machine with programmed algorithms which can work with own
intelligence.

 Intelligence is composed of:

• Reasoning

• Learning

• Problem Solving

• Perception

• Linguistic Intelligence

An AI system is composed of:
• Agent
• Environment
• An agent (e.g., human or robot) is anything that can perceive its environment
through sensors and acts upon that environment through effectors.
• Intelligent agents must be able to set goals and achieve them
• Machine perception is the ability to use input from sensors (such as cameras,
microphones, sensors, etc.) to deduce aspects of the world. e.g., Computer
Vision
• Computer vision is an interdisciplinary scientific field that deals with how computers
can gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos.

 High-profile examples of AI include:

• Autonomous vehicles (such as drones and self-driving cars),

• Medical diagnosis

• Creating art (such as poetry),

• Proving mathematical theorems,

• Playing games (such as Chess or Go),

• Search engines (such as Google search),

• Online assistants (such as Siri)

• Image recognition in photographs,

• Spam filtering,

• Prediction of judicial decisions and targeting

• Online advertisements 7

Machine Learning (ML) is an advanced form of AI where the machine can learn as it
goes rather than having every action programmed by humans.

ML, a fundamental concept of AI research since the field’s inception, is the study of
computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience.

The term ML was introduced by Arthur Samuel in 1959.

Neural networks(NN) are biologically inspired networks that extract features from the
data in a hierarchical fashion.

The field of NNs with several hidden layers is called Deep learning.

 Need of Artificial Intelligence

Need for Artificial Intelligence

1. To create expert systems that exhibit intelligent behavior with the capability
to learn, demonstrate, explain and advice its users.

2. Helping machines find solutions to complex problems like humans do and

applying them as algorithms in a computer-friendly manner.

9
 Goals of Artificial Intelligence
1. Replicate human intelligence

2. Solve Knowledge-intensive tasks

3. An intelligent connection of perception and action

4. Building a machine which can perform tasks that requires human intelligence such as:
• Proving a theorem

• Playing chess

• Plan some surgical operation

• Driving a car in traffic

5. Creating some system which can exhibit intelligent behavior, learn new things by
itself, demonstrate, explain, and can advise to its user

 What Comprises to Artificial Intelligence?

To create the AI-first we should know that how intelligence is composed,

So Intelligence is an intangible part of our brain which is a combination of

Reasoning, learning, problem-solving, perception, language understanding,
etc.

To achieve the above factors for a machine or software Artificial Intelligence
requires different disciplines shown in the figure:

 Advantages and Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence
 Advantages of Artificial Intelligence:

• High Accuracy with fewer errors: AI systems are prone to fewer errors and high accuracy as it takes decisions as per
pre-experience.

• High-Speed: AI systems can be of very high-speed and fast-decision making, e.g., AI systems can beat a chess
champion in the Chess game.

• High reliability: AI machines are highly reliable and can perform the same action multiple times with high accuracy.

• Useful for risky areas: AI machines can be helpful in situations such as defusing a bomb, exploring the ocean floor,
where to employ a human can be risky.

• Digital Assistant: AI can be very useful to provide digital assistant to users such as AI technology is currently used
by various E-commerce websites to show the products as per customer requirements

• Useful as a public utility: AI can be very useful for public utilities such as a self driving car, facial recognition for
security purposes, Natural language processing (for search engines, for spelling checker, for assistant like Siri, for
translation like google translate) 13
 Disadvantage of AI
 High Cost: The HW and SW requirement of AI is very costly as it requires lots of
maintenance to meet current world requirements.
 Can't think out of the box: Even we are making smarter machines with AI, but
still they cannot work out of the box, as the robot will only do that work for which
they are trained, or programmed.
 No feelings and emotions: AI machines can be an outstanding performer, but still
it does not have the feeling so it cannot make any kind of emotional attachment
with humans, and may sometime be harmful for users if the proper care is not
taken.
 Increase dependence on machines: With the increment of technology, people are
getting more dependent on devices and hence they are losing their mental
capabilities.
 No Original Creativity: As humans are so creative and can imagine some new
ideas but still AI machines cannot beat this power of human intelligence14 and
History of AI(Reading Assignment)

15
 Levels of AI
Stage 1 – Rule-Based Systems
• Is a system that applies human-made rules to store, sort and manipulate data.
In doing so, it mimics human intelligence.
• It’s a logical program that uses pre-defined rules to make deductions and
choices to perform automated actions.
Stage 2 – Context Awareness and Retention
• Algorithms that develop information about the specific domain they are being
applied in.
• They are trained on the knowledge and experience of the best humans, and
their knowledge base can be updated as new situations and queries arise.
Well known applications of this level are chatbots and “roboadvisors”

16
 Cont’d
Stage 3 – Domain-Specific Expertise
• Going beyond the capability of humans, these systems build up expertise in a
specific context taking in massive volumes of information which they can use for
decision making.
• Successful use cases have been seen in cancer diagnosis and the well-known
Google Deepmind’s AlphaGo.
• Currently, this type is limited to one domain only would forget all it knows
about that domain if you started to teach it something else.
Stage 4 – Reasoning Machines
• These algorithms have some ability to attribute mental states to themselves and
others – they have a sense of beliefs, intentions, knowledge, and how their own
logic works.
• This means they could reason or negotiate with humans and other machines.
• At the moment these algorithms are still in development, however, commercial
applications are expected within the next few years
17
 Cont’d
Stage 5 – Self Aware Systems / Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
• These systems have human-like intelligence – the most commonly portrayed
AI in media – however, no such use is in evidence today. It is the goal of many
working in AI and some believe it could be realized already from 2024.
Stage 6 – Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)
• AI algorithms can outsmart even the most intelligent humans in every
domain.
• Logically it is difficult for humans to articulate what the capabilities might be,
yet we would hope examples would include solving problems we have failed
to so far, such as world hunger and dangerous environmental change.
• Views vary as to when and whether such a capability could even be possible,
yet there a few experts who claim it can be realized by 2029.
• Fiction has tackled this idea for a long time, for example in the film Ex
Machina or Terminator.
18
 Cont’d
Stage 7 – Singularity and Transcendence
• This is the idea that development provided by ASI (Stage 6) leads to a massive
expansion in human capability.
• Human augmentation could connect our brains to each other and to a future
successor of the current internet, creating a “hive mind” that shares ideas,
solves problems collectively, and even gives others access to our dreams as
observers or participants.
• Pushing this idea further, we might go beyond the limits of the human body
and connect to other forms of intelligence on the planet – animals, plants,
weather systems, and the natural environment.
• Some proponents of singularity such as Ray Kurzweil, Google’s Director of
Engineering, suggest we could see it happen by 2045 as a result of exponential
rates of progress across a range of science and technology disciplines.
• The other side of the fence argues that singularity is impossible and human
consciousness could never be digitized.
19
There are mainly two types of the main categorization which are based on
Types of AI

capabilities and based on functionally of AI

20
 Cont’d
Based on Capabilities
• Weak AI or Narrow AI
• Is able to perform a dedicated task with intelligence
• The most common and currently available AI is Narrow AI in the world of
AI
• Narrow AI cannot perform beyond its field or limitations, as it is only
trained for one specific task.
• Hence it is also termed as weak AI.
• Narrow AI can fail in unpredictable ways if it goes beyond its limits.
• Apple Siri is a good example of Narrow AI, but it operates with a limited
predefined range of functions.
• IBM's Watson supercomputer also comes under Narrow AI, as it uses an
Expert system approach combined with ML and NLP.
• Some Examples of Narrow AI are Google translate, playing chess,
purchasing suggestions on e-commerce sites, self-driving cars, speech
recognition, and image recognition 21

Based on the functionality

• Reactive Machines:
• Purely reactive machines are the most basic types of AI.

• Such AI systems do not store memories or past experiences for future

actions.
• These machines only focus on current scenarios and react on it as per
possible best action.
• IBM's Deep Blue and Google's AlphaGo system is an example of reactive
machines.
24

• Self-driving cars are one of the best examples of Limited Memory systems.

• These cars can store the recent speed of nearby cars, the distance of other
cars, speed limits, and other information to navigate the road

25
 Cont’d

Based on the functionality

• Theory of Mind
• It should understand human emotions, people, beliefs, and be able to
interact socially like humans.
• This type of AI machines is still not developed, but researchers are making
lots of efforts and improvement for developing such AI machines

26
 Cont’d
Based on the functionality

• Self-Awareness
• It is the future of AI

• These machines will be super intelligent and will have their own
consciousness, sentiments, and self-awareness.
• These machines will be smarter than the human mind.

• Self-Awareness AI does not exist in reality still and it is a hypothetical

concept
27
 How humans think?
The goal of many researchers is to create strong and general AI that learns
like a human and can solve general problems as the human brain does.

Intelligence or the cognitive process is composed of three main stages:

Observe and input the information or data in the brain.

Interpret and evaluate the input that is received from the surrounding
environment.

Make decisions as a reaction towards what you received as input and

interpreted and evaluated.

28
 Cont’d

AI researchers are simulating the same stages in building AI systems or

models.

This process represents the main three layers or components of AI systems.

29
 Mapping human thinking to AI components
 Because AI is the science of simulating human thinking, it is possible to map the human thinking stages to the

layers or components of AI systems

 In the first stage, humans acquire information from their surrounding environments
• Through human senses, such as sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch,

• through human organs, such as eyes, ears, and

• other sensing organs, for example, the hands

 In AI models, this stage is represented by the sensing layer, which perceives information from the surrounding

environment.

 This information is specific to the AI application

 E.g. sensing agents such as voice recognition for sensing voice and visual imaging recognition for sensing

images

 These agents or sensors take the role of the hearing and sight senses in humans .
30
 Cont’d
The second stage is interpreting and evaluating the input data

In AI Models, this stage is represented by the interpretation layer, that is, reasoning
and thinking about the gathered input that is acquired by the sensing layer

The third stage is related to taking action or making decisions.

 After evaluating the input data, the interacting layer performs the necessary tasks.

Robotic movement control and speech generation are examples of functions that are
implemented in the interacting layer

31
