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.
