Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI is the field of computer science focused on creating systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as:
Learning (from data or experiences)
Reasoning (solving problems and making decisions)
Perception (seeing, hearing, understanding language)
Interaction (like chatting with humans)
Key Technologies Behind AI
-
Machine Learning (ML): Systems learn patterns from data.
-
Deep Learning: A subset of ML using neural networks, especially good at tasks like image or speech recognition.
-
Natural Language Processing (NLP): Understanding and generating human language (like ChatGPT).
-
Computer Vision: Teaching machines to see and interpret images.
-
Robotics: AI controlling physical machines.
Applications of AI
-
Healthcare: Diagnosing diseases, drug discovery.
-
Finance: Fraud detection, stock trading bots.
-
Retail: Personalized shopping, chatbots.
-
Transportation: Self-driving cars, traffic optimization.
-
Education: Adaptive learning systems.
-
Content Creation: Text, art, video generation.
Ethical and Social Concerns
-
Bias & Fairness: AI can inherit human biases from data.
-
Job Automation: Risk of job displacement in some industries.
-
Privacy: Use of personal data for AI training.
-
Control & Safety: Ensuring AI does what we intend.
