Nowadays AI has become more and more familiar among humans as it simplifies the most problematic and irritating works in our life. It is an emerging and most important branch of the computer science field. We can simply define AI as, "Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving." AI would be considered a fundamental term in the upcoming era of humanoids.
One of the best examples of AI are Social media feeds. In case we are using Instagram, the news feed automatically changes based on our search terms, liked, and saved posts. Behind this action, The AI analyzes your data and provides the feed based on your data.
TYPES OF AI:
BASED ON CAPABILITIES
WEAK OR NARROW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Narrow or weak AI is designed to perform a dedicated task and cannot be able to perform beyond its limitations. These are the most common and currently using AI type. Apple’s SIRI is one of the best examples of narrow AI. Narrow AI is used to perform a limited task and is not able to do the functions beyond human intelligence and is even not equal to humans.
GENERAL AI ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
General AI is a type of intelligence that could perform any intellectual tasks like humans. The reason for the development of this type of AI is to mimic the smartness and efficiency of the human brain. At present, there is no such type of system exist which could come under general AI.
SUPER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Super AI is a level of intelligence of machines that could surpass human intelligence. This type of AI can perform many tasks better and better than human intelligence and posses some characteristics like thinking, reactions, emotions, and sense. Super AI is still a hypothetical concept of AI.
BASED ON FUNCTIONALITIES
REACTIVE MACHINES
Reactive machines are the most basic types of Artificial intelligence. These types of machines consider only the current scenario and do not consider the memories for future performance. Google AlphaGo is one of the best examples.
LIMITED MEMORY
Limited memory machines can store the memory for a limited period of time to proceed with the tasks. It holds the memory for only a short period of time. For example, let’s consider automatic cars which consider the speed of nearby cars, other cars, speed limit, and other information for only a limited period of time to navigate the road.
THEORY OF MIND
Theory of mind AI should understand the human emotions, people, beliefs and be able to connect socially. These types of machines are not still developed.
SELF-AWARENESS
Self-awareness AI will be super-intelligent and smarter than humans. These machines will possess their own consciousness, emotions, and self-awareness. These types of machines do not exist in reality and still, it is a hypothetical concept.
WHY DO WE NEED AI?
We need Artificial Intelligence (AI) because the work that we need to do is increasing day-to-day. So it’s a good idea to automate the routine work. This saves the manpower of the organization and also increases productivity. Additionally, through this Artificial Intelligence, the company can also get skilled persons for the development of the company. Moreover the companies today think that they want to mechanize all the regular and routine work. And they think they can automate those regular works through the simple program Because, with the development of data science, automation becomes more common. The application of this AI is majorly seen at the website chat portal. You people when you come to the websites probably seen the welcome message. Then after actual conversation usually starts.
DISADVANTAGES OF AI:
- High cost of implementation
- Does not improve with
experience
- Lacks creativity
- Risk of unemployment.
FUTURE OF AI
The future of artificial intelligence is more fascinating than ever. People seem to have indulged in this debate for years now. Some say robots are the future and they will replicate humans completely. Another opinion is a human dependency on this sector will increase manifold. However, one thing is for sure, artificial intelligence is progressing faster than ever, and no one knows what might come next.
