Program Plan Intro

Artificial Intelligence:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) simulates thinking and behaves as human such as the capability of giving reason and learning.

• Its main aim is to develop a system which mimics human intelligence.
• It increases the speed and consistency of decision making, helps in solving the problems without lending complete information.
• The problems which cannot be solved by the conventional computing can be resolved using the AI system.

Components of Artificial Intelligence:

The six key components of AI are as follows:

• Expert systems: A work performed by a human expert and the same task is performed by a computer application is known as expert systems.
• Robotics: It is a nothing but a development of computer devices that can perform tasks that are difficult for humans which requires higher precision.
• Vision systems: A hardware or a software program that allows the processor (computer) to capture, store and process visual images.
• Natural language processing: As the name suggests, it allows the processor to infer and respond to the statements and commands (human level) that are given in natural language like English.
• Learning systems: It is an integration of software and hardware that permits the processor to change how it functions and how it responds to certain conditions based on comment it collects.
• Neural networks: Neural network is also called as artificial neural network where the AI attempts to imitate the way human brain works. It recognize and act on the patterns or trends that it detects in large sets of information.
