An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI)
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer
systems. These processes include learning (acquiring information and rules for using it), reasoning (using
rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction.
Types of AI
1. Narrow AI: AI systems that are trained to perform a single task and operate under a limited set of
constraints.
2. General AI: AI with generalized human cognitive abilities, capable of solving unfamiliar tasks.
3. Super AI: A theoretical AI that surpasses human intelligence in all aspects.
Applications of AI
AI is used in various sectors including healthcare (diagnosis and treatment recommendations), finance (fraud
detection, trading), transportation (autonomous vehicles), and customer service (chatbots and virtual
assistants).
Ethical Concerns
AI raises ethical issues such as data privacy, job displacement due to automation, bias in decision-making,
and the potential for autonomous weapons. Addressing these concerns requires thoughtful regulation and
design.
