After watching the video, answer the following question:
What is the role of generalised learning in AI?
Brainy Fact
The first-ever AI game was built by John McCarthy at MIT on the IBM 704. The program would take days
to process a single move and didn’t stop for months. Students and McCarthy himself, from time to time,
made modifications to improve its efficiency and accuracy. Interestingly, in 1966 when McCarthy was
at Stanford, he designed another chess game with his team to compete with their counterparts in the
Soviet Union. Unfortunately, they never won with two losses and two draws.
What is NOT AI?
Today, we are surrounded by a wide variety of devices. As a result, we frequently misidentify any other technology as
AI. That is why, it is crucial to clarify the distinction between what constitutes AI and what does not.
As we all know, artificial intelligence refers to any system that has been trained with data and can make decisions/
predictions on its own. Here are some examples of what is not artificial intelligence:
• Traditional rule-based systems do not learn from data and instead, follow pre-defined rules.
• Simple automation tools, such as timers and calculators, do certain tasks without thinking or learning.
• Mechanical devices, such as pulleys or gears, rely on physics and cannot think or learn.
• Microwave ovens are examples of fixed-function hardware that performs tasks without thinking or learning.
• Non-interactive systems are machines that do not respond to new input, such as a basic electric fan.
• Basic sensors collect data but do not evaluate it.
