AI is used to create intelligent machines that help us. AI is a part of almost everything we use
                 today such as smartphones, cars and banks. Some main areas of application of AI are:

                    Expert  System:  These are communicating  computer                                User
                   programs  that  solve  problems  which would  otherwise                           Interface
                                                                                                              User (not
                   require human expertise. These programs replicate the                            Inference   an expert)
                   reasoning  process  of experts  in certain  areas. For                            engine
                   example, PROSPECTOR was the first expert system that                             Knowledge
                   analysed geological data to identify and locate mineral                            base
                   deposits.                                                     Human    Knowledge
                                                                                          engineer
                                                                                 expert
                                                 Natural Language Processing: It is the study of methods by which
                                               computers can recognise and understand spoken or written human
                                               language. Speech recognition  software are an example  of NLP
                                               where computers translate spoken speech into text.


                   Intelligent Agents: It is a type of computer program that has built-in
                   intelligence which keeps a check on the work patterns, asks questions

                   and  performs tasks  on the  behalf of the  user.  A  simple  example  of
                   intelligent agents is when we search for something on the Internet.



                 The intelligent  agent  searches  the  Internet  and  the  available  databases  for information  and
                 compiles the result for you after filtering it based on your previous surfing history.

                                             Pattern Recognition: This type of software uses a camera and software
                                           that  together  identify  repetitive  patterns  and establish  connections
                                           between the patterns stored in the database and the perceived patterns.
                                           Facial  recognition  software, video  surveillance cameras,  fingerprint
                                           identification  and  automatic  voice  recognition  software  are some

                                           examples of pattern recognition software.
                   Robotics: Shakey  was the first robot  to  use AI to  navigate.  It was

                   developed  in Artificial  Intelligence  Center  of the Stanford Research
                   Institute (SRI) from 1966 to 1972. There are so many robots that use AI
                   such as Rosie and Roscoe are used in hospital to supply medicines,
                   Robodoc performs hip implant surgeries, Roomba and Scooba can do
                   housework such as cleaning the floor, etc.

                                  Intelligent Apps (I-Apps): Intelligent Apps are software written for mobile devices
                                based on artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, aimed at making
                                everyday tasks easier. This involves tasks like organising and prioritising emails,
                                scheduling meetings, logging interactions, content, etc. Some familiar examples of
                                I-Apps are chatGPT chatbots and virtual assistants.
