1.4 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AND MACHINE LEARNING (ML)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming industries by enabling machines to
perform tasks that once required human intelligence. AI aims to replicate human-like decision-making and
cognition, allowing systems to think, reason, and solve problems. On the other hand, ML focuses on enabling
machines to learn from experience and improve over time without explicit programming. Together, these
technologies are reshaping technology and society, creating smarter devices and systems that are more
efficient and capable of handling complex tasks across various fields.
What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human
intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn
like humans. The goal of AI is to create systems that can perform
tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as problem-
solving, decision-making, language understanding, and visual
perception.
Types of AI
AI can be classified into three main types:
1. Narrow AI (Weak AI): Narrow AI refers to systems that are
designed and trained to perform a specific task. These systems
operate under a limited set of conditions and do not possess
general intelligence. Examples: Virtual assistants (like Siri or
Alexa), spam filters, and facial recognition software.
