Intelligence & Robotics
i + ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Computer is an electronic device that can store and process data according to the instructions
given to it. It has become an essential part of our lives and its requirement is growing exponentially.
Since its invention, scientists and researchers are continuously working on improving its speed,
reducing its size and making it more powerful in terms of its capability to complete a task with
least human involvements.
Scientists always stumbled upon the question, “Can a machine think and behave like humans?“.
This question led to the invention of one of the most advanced technologies of all times, AI.
Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that pursues the creation of computers
and machines which are as intelligent as human beings.
According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy, AI is “the science and engineering
of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”.
AI-Terminologies
There are some frequently used terms in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Let us understand
them.
Machine Learning
Machine learning allows a machine to predict
more accurate results without being explicitly
programmed to do so. It is a subset of artificial
intelligence.
Algorithms
A set of rules or instructions given to an AI machine is
known as algorithm. It helps an AI machine to learn on
its own.
