Main Concepts
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that is dedicated to solving cognitive problems that would normally be associated with human intelligence, such as learning, recognition and image creation.
- AI systems designed to mimic human intelligence.
AI objective
The goal of AI is to create a system that learns on its own and is able to extract meaning from raw data.
Key Aspects
- In addition to responding coherently when asked questions, AI can create original content such as text and images.
- AI can be used to solve complex problems, given its ability to process large amounts of data.
- AI can also perform repetitive and monotonous tasks.
- AI can find patterns in data and predict trends.
AI elements
Artificial Intelligence involves the following elements and processes:
- A Training Dataset
- The process of training an AI Model from the Dataset
- A data scientist who trains the model
- The user who uses the previously trained model to obtain some response from it.
IA Subdisciplines
Example
- A basic example of an AI model could be a classification algorithm, which contains a collection of fruit images classified according to the corresponding fruit, the model was previously trained with a large number of images of different fruits.
- A user can enter a new image of a fruit, and the model would be able to classify what type of fruit it is, without having had that exact image before.
Applications
Areas of application of AI:
- Medical Industry: AI can read medical images such as X-rays to make diagnoses
- Pandemic Prediction: Agencies such as the Center for Disease Control, CDC, use AI to predict pandemics and outbreaks around the world and dispatch necessary medical personnel and resources.
- Manufacturing Industry: Using AI with computer vision to monitor assembly lines to maintain product quality, and sensor data to predict when equipment needs maintenance.
- Customer service: Chat solutions and search systems using AI for language recognition
- Retail: Using AI to use customer purchase history to make product recommendations.
- Image recognition
- Speech-to-text conversion
- Machine learning
