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.
