Artificial Intelligence: Beginning of a New Era?
Many of us have come across the term “Artificial Intelligence” or “AI”. But most of us don’t know what artificial intelligence actually is or only have a vague idea about it. So what is artificial intelligence (AI)
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
The simulation of human intelligence in machines
programmed to think like humans, act like humans,
and talk like humans—simply put,
it can do almost
everything a human can do—is artificial intelligence (AI).
Types of AI:
There are mainly two types of AI on the basis of capabilities and functionality.
Type-1 is AI based on capabilities. AI type-1 is divided into three types-
Super AI (ASI)-
The type of AI which is capable of surpassing human intelligence by
developing its own think skills and manifesting cognitive skills
General AI (AGI)-
The type of AI which can understand/learn/do any intellectual task that
a human being can do.
Examples- Chatbots, autonomous vehicles etc.
The type of AI that is specified to handle a singular or limited task.
Examples- Facial recognition, recommendation engines etc.
Type-2 is AI based on functionalities. AI type-2 is divided into four types-
The type of AI which will be capable of doing everything independently
without any human influence, and will have their own
sense, power and understanding.
Examples– semi-sentient tesla bot, GPT 3 etc.
The AI which has cognitive understanding which involves the ability to
think about abstract mental states of itself and others.
Example- AI which can understand emotions.
The type of AI which has the ability to store previous data and can make
better decisions by using that data
Example- self-driving cars.
The Evolution of AI:
Day by day, as the world advances, it
becomes more technology-based. Technology has made life a lot easier for humans. AI is one of those technologies that is making a difference in every aspect of life. AI is advancing quickly with new discoveries and breakthroughs with the help of data science.
The industries which AI is changing:
- Transportation-
- Healthcare-
AI is already a game changer in the healthcare sector. By the help
of AI, diseases are more accurately and quickly diagnosed, and
drug discovery is sped up
- Manufacturing Industries-
In industries, AI robots are now working alongside humans doing
complex and risky tasks
- E-commerce-
Aside from these, the existence of AI can be seen in almost every industry that we can think of. Though we don’t know what the future has in store for us, what we know for sure is that AI improves the life quality of humans in every possible way and also eases their difficulties.
