AI
- Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that involves creating computer systems that can perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence
- The goal of AI is to simulate intelligent behaviour in machines, including:
- problem-solving, decision-making, natural language processing
- AI is often used in areas such as:
- Robotics
- Natural language processing
- Expert systems
- Machine learning
- Machine learning is a subset of AI that focuses on giving computers the ability to learn and improve from data, without being explicitly programmed
- There are different types of AI, including weak AI, strong AI, and superintelligence
- Weak AI, also known as narrow AI, is designed to perform a specific task or set of tasks
- Strong AI, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), is designed to perform any intellectual task that a human can do
- Superintelligence is a hypothetical AI that would surpass human intelligence in all areas
- AI has advantages such as increased efficiency, accuracy, and scalability
- However, AI also has disadvantages such as the potential for job loss, biassed decision-making, and ethical concerns around its use
