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 Sure! But, I can also see that you have some more questions to ask. Let’s hear them? Yes, I
You said AI driven algorithm, could you tell me more about it?
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 interconnected mechanisms that help the AI
to work properly. These mechanisms are the different components with which the AI system can work. They
are commonly called domains of AI. In this chapter, we are going to learn about the different domains of AI.
Barr and Feigenbaum in 1981 defined AI 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.
