Three Domains in AI


                  Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is a way to make computers and machines smart so they can do
                  tasks that usually need human intelligence. AI can work in different ways depending on the kind
                  of information it uses. We can group AI into three important areas: Computer Vision, Natural
                  Language Processing, and Using Data to find Patterns.



                  Computer Vision
                  Computer Vision helps computers “see” and “understand” what is in pictures or videos, almost
                  like how our eyes and brain work together. Since computers don’t have eyes like humans, they
                  use cameras to take pictures. Then, special programs help them recognise objects, people, or

                  places in those pictures.

                                                                                                  bananas, apricots,
                                                                                                      peaches

                                     Functions like a sensing device,      Processor that inerprets images
                                  capturing images of the environment

                                                                                                    bowl, oranges,
                                                                                                  bananas, apricots,
                                                                                                       peaches

                  For example, think about self-driving cars. They have cameras all around that help them see

                  the road, other cars, traffic lights, and pedestrians so they can drive safely without a human
                  driver.

                  Some applications of computer vision are as follows:
                     • Face unlock on phones: Uses your face to unlock the device safely.
                     • Self-driving cars: Detects roads, traffic signs, and obstacles to drive automatically.
