                                      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.
