Question 1: What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence strongly suggests how human intelligence is mimicked in a machine by using computer programming, also to think and act like humans.[1] A common characteristic of these types of machines is that they can intercept data and analyze it to achieve a specific goal.[1] There are two subsets of them, machine learning and deep learning. While it is a simple concept of how computer programs can adapt and quickly learn new data without the assistance of a human, the second subtopic enables the considerable process of learning through absorbing huge amounts of media that are not appropriately structured, such as text, image, and video.
Question 2: What are some key events in the history of A.I.?
1950- Alan Turning, a famous sophisticated British man, explored the possibilities of artificial intelligence using mathematical knowledge. He published a paper thoroughly explaining how to build intellectual machines.
1956- What really accelerated the research in AI for the following years is a conference hosted by John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky. They showed a program named “Logic Theorist,” created by Allan Newell, Cliff Shaw, and Herbert Simon. It was functioned to mimic the problem-solving skills and thinking of a human. Unfortunately, the audience’s expectations dropped to extremely low.
1957-1974 Computer production became cheap and accessible. They could store a hefty amount of information, to add on to that, new computers during their time have the ability to run faster. The algorithms that were heavily used in machine learning are enhanced, allowing people to identify which algorithms are necessary to solve problems. Their success motivated advocacy from the lead researchers in the Dartmouth workshop to convince the government to fund the AI research, ending up with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to finance institutions to assist them in finding more information in AI
1980- AI aroused again due to the following: an enormous expansion of algorithmic toolkit and funding boost. John Hopfield and David Rumelhart made a technique of it popular called “deep learning,” essentially how computers learn using experience. Though, Edward Feighbaum introduced an expert system, a machine with the decision-making skills of a human. How it works is that the program is designed to ask a field expert how to solve the problem. Japanese people from the industrial side contributed money towards this system in order to fulfill their project.
Question 3: What are some examples of Artificial Intelligence in use?
Robotics
iRobot
Emotech (An A.I. assistant with a personality
HealthCare
Pathai (Analyzes tissue samples)
Pager (Helps patients with minor aches, pains, and illness)
Atomwise (Uses A.I and deep learning to make drug discovery a hassle)
Self-Driving Cars
Tesla
Cruise
Waymo
Luminar Technologies
Question 4: How can A.I. change the future?
Transportation
By the time 2030 comes, it is predicted by the University of Southern California researchers that autonomous cars are going to be ubiquitous. Two examples of self-driving vehicles: driverless trains are predominant in Europe, and Boeing, an airplane company, is manufacturing a jetliner without requiring a pilot.
Cybersecurity
2015 was a devastating time for cybersecurity; since there were about 707 million breaches, and in the half of 2016, 554 million breaches have been recorded. USC experts claim that companies would develop A.I. based tools. Their main role will be to look for patterns with spiteful computer viruses to prevent them from stealing a substantial amount of data.
Entertainment
While Netflix is universal worldwide, they believe that in 2050, people will sit down on their couch and make a custom film of their choice with virtual actors. A predictive program is destined to arise soon to analyze a film’s script, and thoroughly forecast its box office potential.
