UNIT 1 - Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence is formed by combining the two words artificial and

intelligence.
a. Artificial – Artificial refers to something created or produced by humans
rather than existing naturally
b. Intelligence – The ability to acquire and use knowledge and skills is referred
to as intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence Definition

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to do cognitive tasks such as

thinking, perceiving, learning, problem solving, and decision making. It is based on
how individuals use their brains to observe, learn, figure out, and make decisions.

History of Artificial Intelligence

The phrase “artificial intelligence” was created by John McCarthy, who also hosted
the first AI conference.

What is Machine Learning

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn

and develop without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning is concerned
with the creation of computer program that can access data and learn for
themselves.

What is Natural Language Processing

Natural language processing (NLP) is an area of artificial intelligence (AI) that

focuses on assisting computers in understanding how humans write and
communicate.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence

AI Application in E Commerce

a. Personalized Shopping – Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to develop

recommendation engines that help you engage with your customers more effectively.

b. AI-powered Assistants – Virtual shopping assistants and chatbots aid in the

enhancement of the online buying experience.

c. Fraud Prevention – Two of the most serious difficulties that E-Commerce

businesses face are credit card fraud and fraudulent reviews

Artificial Intelligence in Social Media

a. Facebook – Artificial Intelligence uses the technique known as DeepText.

DeepText automatically translates the post from one language to another language.

b. Twitter – Twitter uses AI for fraud detection, propaganda removal, and to remove
hateful content.

Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture

With the help of AI the farmer can identify defects and nutrient deficiencies in the
soil with the help of machine learning applications

Artificial Intelligence in Robotics

Another industry where artificial intelligence applications are widely used is

robotics. AI-powered robots use real-time updates to detect obstructions in their
path and instantaneously arrange their route.
 Three Domains of Artificial Intelligence

There are three types of domain in Artificial Intelligence.

1. Data Science (Data for AI)

2. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
3. Computer Vision (CV)

1. Data Science (Data for AI) –

The process of converting a raw dataset into valuable knowledge is known as Data
Science. Nowadays Data Science is an important part of an Industry. Data science is
an AI domain concerned with data systems and processes, in which the system
collects a large amount of data, maintains sets of data, and extracts meaning from
them.

2. Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence. Natural

language Processing has the ability to understand text and spoken words in the
same manner that humans can.

3. Computer Vision (CV)

Computer vision allows computers and systems to extract useful information from
digital photos, videos, and other visual inputs. The goal of Computer Vision is to
take necessary action after identifying an object or person in a digital image.
What is Smart Home

A smart home is a flexible house setup in which appliances and devices may be
managed remotely using a mobile or other networked device from anywhere with an
internet connection.

What is Smart City

The Smart Cities Mission’s goal is to promote economic growth and improve people’s
quality of life by facilitating local area development and utilizing technology,
particularly technology that leads to Smart results.

AI Ethics

AI ethics are a collection of principles that guide the development and use of
artificial intelligence.

Why AI Ethics is important?

Ethical AI can help businesses run more efficiently, provide cleaner products,
reduce negative environmental impacts, improve public safety, and improve human
health.
