An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence refers to the ability of machines and computer systems to exhibit intelligent behavior and perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

AI encompasses a broad spectrum of techniques, algorithms, and methodologies that enable machines to learn, reason, perceive, and make decisions. It aims to replicate human cognitive functions, such as problem-solving, pattern recognition, language processing, and decision-making, but with exceptional speed and accuracy.

Examples of AI:

• ChatGPT: Uses large language models (LLMs) to generate text in response to questions or comments posed to it.
• Google Translate: Uses deep learning algorithms to translate text from one language to another.
• Netflix: Uses machine learning algorithms to create personalized recommendation engines for users based on their previous viewing history.
• Tesla: Uses computer vision to power self-driving features on their cars.
• Finance: Fraud detection is a notable use case for AI in the finance industry.
• Healthcare: AI-powered robotics could support surgeries close to highly delicate organs or tissue to mitigate blood loss or risk of infection.
