We are entering in a new world of technology where the world we know is modelled by artificial Intelligence and machine learning. For autonomous vehicles, to better customer experience, AI is everywhere, but what is this all about? This Article will discuss the basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and how it is impacting our day to day life.
A lot of people are wondering what artificial intelligence (AI) is
Even though the big debate about AI is still at the beginning stage, a lot of people have already started to use it in their lives. It is not strange to see certain aspects of life enhanced by AI and ML. A lot of companies are already making use of artificial intelligence (AI), so it won’t be weird at all if we find out that our day to day activities have been enhanced by artificial intelligence. And if this isn’t enough, artificial intelligence is being used in industries like healthcare, finance transportation and many others.
However, a lot of people are still wondering what Artificial Intelligence (AI) actually is.
Artificial intelligence is defined as a capability of machines to imitate intelligent human behavior. It requires making decisions and solving problems using approaches that are based on process involved in solving a problem using intelligence. This term is commonly referred to as AI, Machine Learning, cognitive computing and neural networks. All these terms point to one thing: building machine capable of learning using artificial intelligence and make decisions that are not pre-programmed by their designers.
In order for us to get an understanding of how this works, it would be good if we take the example of self-driving cars which have already been tested on roads around the world. The process involves sensor such as cameras and laser scanners. The quality of the picture or the depth of the scans is used recognize the road signs, lane markers and traffic lights. These images and data gathered by these sensors are analyzed by the artificial intelligence systems. The outcome of this analysis will determine whether it is safe to drive or not.
When you try to understand what machine learning is all about, you would need to understand that it is field of AI that emphasizes the development of computer programs that can learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning gives computers the ability to analyze large amounts of data, find patterns and make predictions.
