Some main areas of application of AI are:
User
• Expert system: It can be defined as a communicating Interface
computer program that can solve problems which User (not an
would otherwise require human expertise. These Inference expert)
engine
programs replicate the reasoning process of
experts in certain areas. For example, PROSPECTOR Knowledge LATEST TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS
base
was the first expert system that analysed geological Human Knowledge
data to identify and locate mineral deposits. expert engineer
Expert System
• Natural Language Processor (NLP): It is the method by which
computers can recognise and understand spoken or written
human language. Speech recognition software is an example of
Natural Language Processor NLP where computers translate spoken speech into text.
• Intelligent agents: It is a type of computer program that has
built-in intelligence which keeps a check on the work patterns, 7
asks questions and performs tasks on the behalf of the user. A
simple example of intelligent agent is surfing the Internet.
What happens when we search for something on the Internet?
The intelligent agent searches the Internet and the available Intelligent Agents
databases for information and compiles the result for you after
filtering it based on your previous surfing history.
• Pattern recognition: This type of software uses a camera and software
that together identifies repetitive patterns and establishes connections
between the patterns stored in the database and the perceived
patterns. Facial recognition software, video surveillance cameras,
Pattern Recognition fingerprint identification, and automatic voice recognition software are
some examples of pattern recognition software.
• Robotics: Shakey was the first robot to use AI to navigate. It
was developed in Artificial Intelligence Center of the Stanford
Research Institute (SRI) from 1966 to 1972. There are so many
robots that use AI such as Rosie and Roscoe are used in hospital
to supply medicines, Robodoc performs hip implant surgeries, Robotics
Roomba and Scooba can do housework such as cleaning the floor, etc.
• Intelligent Apps (I-Apps): Intelligent Apps are software written
for mobile devices based on artificial intelligence and machine
learning technology, aimed at making everyday tasks easier. This
involves tasks like organising and prioritising emails, scheduling
meetings, logging interactions, content, etc. Some familiar examples
Intelligent Apps of I-Apps are chatbots and virtual assistants.
