AI—DOMAINS AND ADVANTAGES
#Problem Solving & Logical Reasoning
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.
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. Lets 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. 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.”
