AI—DOMAINS AND ADVANTAGES
Hello Vincy! I read an article about AI helping doctors to find the severity of infectious
diseases.
Really? Tell me more about it.
Yes! AI can be used as an early outbreak warning system. For example, BlueDot, an AI-driven
algorithm, detected the outbreak of Zika virus in Florida.
Artificial Intelligence
You said AI driven algorithm, could you tell me more about it?
Sure! But, I can also see that you have some more questions to ask. Let’s hear them? Yes, I
want to about Deep Learning that was used in studying the symptoms of people suffering
from serious ailments.
It is nice to see that you are so curious to learn about AI. So, in this chapter let us learn more
about the various domains of AI .
We all are aware of the fact that every machine or organism is made of smaller parts that perform
a specific type of task. Similarly, the AI system is also built from different smaller mechanisms
that help the AI to work properly. These working mechanisms are the different components
with which the AI system can work. These components are called domains of AI. In this chapter,
we are going to learn about the different domains of AI.
Barr and Feigenbaum defined AI in 1981 as “Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the part of computer
science concerned with designing intelligent computer systems, that is, systems that exhibit
characteristics we associate with intelligence in human behaviour—understanding language,
learning, reasoning, solving problems, and so on.”
There are different approaches or domains to achieve Artificial Intelligence. There are various
methods through which we can develop artificially intelligent systems. Let us learn about these
domains.
