 What is Artificial Intelligence?
• Definition: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the
simulation of human intelligence processes by
machines, especially computer systems.
• Key components: Machine Learning, Natural
Language Processing, Robotics, and Computer
Vision.
 History of AI
• 1950s: The term 'Artificial Intelligence' was
coined by John McCarthy.
• 1960s-70s: Early AI research focused on
problem-solving and symbolic methods.
• 1980s: Rise of machine learning.
• 2000s-present: Advances in deep learning, big
data, and increased computational power.
 Types of AI
• Narrow AI: AI systems that are designed to
perform a narrow task (e.g., facial recognition,
internet searches).
• General AI: AI systems that possess the ability
to perform any intellectual task that a human
can do.
• Superintelligent AI: AI that surpasses human
intelligence in all aspects.
 How AI Works
• Data Collection: Gathering large datasets.
• Data Processing: Cleaning and organizing data.
• Algorithms: Creating models using machine
learning algorithms.
• Training: Teaching the model using data.
• Inference: Making predictions or decisions
based on new data.
 Machine Learning
• Definition: A subset of AI that involves the use
of statistical techniques to enable machines to
improve at tasks with experience.
• Types: Supervised Learning, Unsupervised
Learning, Reinforcement Learning.
• Applications: Spam filtering, recommendation
systems, fraud detection.
 Deep Learning
• Definition: A subset of machine learning that
uses neural networks with many layers (deep
neural networks).
• Key Concepts: Neural Networks,
Backpropagation, Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks
(RNNs).
• Applications: Image and speech recognition,
natural language processing.
 Applications of AI
• Healthcare: Diagnostics, personalized
medicine, robotic surgery.
• Finance: Algorithmic trading, credit scoring,
fraud detection.
• Transportation: Autonomous vehicles, traffic
management.
• Entertainment: Recommendation systems,
content creation.
