AN INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial Intelligence:- Human made intelligence is known as Artificial Intelligence(AI). John McCarthy is known as the father of Artificial Intelligence.

Example :- Self Driving car, Apple's Siri, Google Assistant etc are example of AI.

Difference between Artificial and Human Intelligence:-

Artificial intelligence or machine intelligence is man- made intelligence that enables computers or machines to have an IQ similar to that of humans. Intelligence of AI is based on algorithms.

Human Intelligence is natural intelligence which is based on logically and emotionally. Both the factor affect the decision making.

Qualities on which AI based on:-

There are three qualities which are given below-

1. Perception (the acquisition of information and rules for using      the information)

2. Reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite                conclusion)

3. Learning (self-correction)

NEED OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

 A few major points that highlight the importance of AI are as follows:

1. AI can help us create programs, software or devices that are able to solve real-life problems.

2. AI can helps us in creating our personal virtual assistant, such as the Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa.

3. AI can help us build robots and devices which can work in an environment which is dangerous for humans.

4. AI opens up a path for other new technologies, new devices and new opportunities.

Difference between Programming without AI and with AI:-

Programming without AI                            Programming with AI

1. A computer program can                      1. A computer program can 

 answer specific questions                    answer the generic questions

only or can solve specific                     it is meant to solve.

problems for which it is 

programmed

2. We need to change the                      2. AI programs can adapt new

structure of the program                        modification automatically 

in order to modify it.                             by assembling independent

                                                               pieces of information 

                                                               together. Thus, an AI

                                                               program  can be modified 

                                                               without affecting its structure

3.Modification requires rewriting         3. AI-enabled programs are 

the program code at times. Thus,          easy to modify and require

to modify a program without AI is        less time.

a time-consuming and difficult task.
