Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that allows computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI includes machine learning, natural language processing, and generative AI.
Types of AI
-
- Machine learning: Uses algorithms to analyze data, learn from it, and make decisions
- Natural language processing (NLP): Allows computers to understand, analyze, and generate human language
- Machine learning: Uses algorithms to analyze data, learn from it, and make decisions
- Generative AI: Creates original content, such as images or text, in response to user prompts
AI applications
- Virtual assistants: Use generative AI to respond to user inputs
- Chatbots: Use generative AI to respond to user inputs
- Recommendation systems: Use AI to analyze data and make recommendations
- Home security systems: Use AI to recognize images
Future of AI
- Artificial general intelligence (AGI): AI systems that have human-like capabilities, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and language comprehension
AI pioneers
- John McCarthy is considered one of the founders of AI and coined the term
- Alan Turing is also considered a founder of AI
