What is Artificial Intelligence?
“Predicting the future isn't magic, its artificial intelligence” — Dave Waters
Artificial Intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. It is a technique of getting
machines to work and behave like humans. The machines that are incorporated with human-like intelligence to
perform tasks as we do. This intelligence is built using complex algorithms and mathematical functions.
To conclude, a machine is artificially intelligent when it can accomplish tasks on its own like collecting data,
understanding it, analyzing it, learning from it, and finally improving it.
How do Machines become Intelligent?
Machines become intelligent with the algorithms that are fed into them by developers. They are trained with
information that makes them intelligent to achieve the desired output. An intelligent machine has the ability to
monitor its environment and then adjust its actions based on what it senses. If you see around yourself, you will
find many such machines that use AI.
In simpler terms, we can summarize as follows:
Data + Algorithm = AI Machines
Where data is the information needed for training artificial intelligence systems and algorithms are needed to
analyse data which will help in making predictions.
Applications of AI Around Us
We have been using AI enabled applications for quite some time now. Let us study about some of these
applications in detail.
Google Search
Google search is powered by AI. It responds to our search in a more accurate way. Sometimes, it also suggests
and autocorrects our typed sentences. It even catches incomplete words or sentences to display a list according
to your preferred search history.
