🧠 Artificial Intelligence (AI)
📌 Lecture Overview:
In this lecture, you will learn:
The four main types of AI
How each type works
Real-world applications
Differences between them
Examples you interact with daily
🔍 1. Reactive Machines
These are the most basic type of AI. They don’t store memories or past experiences.
🧠 Key Points:
No memory, no learning
Responds to specific inputs only
Cannot improve through experience
💡 Example:
IBM's Deep Blue (Chess-playing AI) could identify pieces and make moves but couldn’t learn from previous
games.
📷 Diagram Suggestion:
A simple block diagram: Input → Process → Output (No memory involved)
💾 2. Limited Memory AI
This AI can look into the past temporarily and make decisions based on recent data.
🧠 Key Points:
Uses short-term memory
Learns from limited data
Common in everyday applications
💡 Examples:
Self-driving cars observe other vehicles' speed and direction for decision-making.
Chatbots that remember a few previous messages to keep the conversation relevant.
📷 Diagram Suggestion:
Flowchart with "Input → Short-term Memory → Output"
🧠 3. Theory of Mind (Future AI)
Still in development, this AI will understand human emotions, beliefs, and intentions.
🧠 Key Points:
Will interact more naturally with humans
Needs to understand social behavior
Aims to form relationships and empathy
💡 Examples:
Humanoid robots understanding your tone or body language
Virtual therapists or social companions

📷 Diagram Suggestion:
Human face ↔ AI face with arrows labeled “Emotion” and “Understanding”
🧬 4. Self-aware AI (Advanced Future Concept)
This is the most advanced form of AI — machines that are conscious of themselves.
🧠 Key Points:
Has self-awareness, consciousness
Can think, feel, and make independent decisions
Still theoretical and not yet developed
💡 Example:
Imagine Jarvis from Iron Man — fully aware, self-operating AI assistant.
📷 Diagram Suggestion:
Robot looking in a mirror with a “thought cloud” above its head.

🎓 Summary
Topic Takeaway
Reactive Machines No memory, basic decisions only
Limited Memory Learns temporarily from data
Theory of Mind Future AI with emotional intelligence
Self-aware Hypothetical AI with consciousness
🏠 How It Connects to Daily Life
Think of your voice assistant (Siri/Alexa) — it remembers recent commands (Limited Memory). But it doesn’t feel
if you're angry or sad. That’s where Theory of Mind comes in. And once machines understand themselves, that’s
Self-aware AI — a concept still in sci-fi.
