Artificial intelligence and the future pose many important problems. I would like to discuss the conflict between human innovation and artificial intelligence. The problem is already on the horizon and, although no one really says it, it is only because we do not pay attention to our environment or our environment in the information age.
Many will tell you that artificial intelligence will never replace humans in certain areas, such as creativity, categories like; Art, storytelling, film, writing and innovation. Although I would like to assure you that these notions are true, I can not tell you in a rational or honest way that they are true. We already see the beginnings of AI in these categories, and the art of graffiti (writing) is on the wall. We already have an art of artificial intelligence, and some of them are indistinguishable from works done by humans. AI has already passed the Turing test in this area.
We also have new AI writers, writing software and songwriting, and it is also very good. We have also seen the first AI films, no, not yet on a human level, but we certainly do, and we consider the fact that there are very few new genres introduced these days, most of the movies. They are common scenarios with slight derivations in the genre. The intrigues are predictable enough and good Hollywood movies follow certain rules, as well as good writing and good art. The rules can be taught to computers, software and therefore to artificial intelligence. AI can also mix and match combinations never before tested, in real time and at a very low cost per new unit produced.
As I said before, most innovations also follow rules and often use easy-to-follow strategies. Also, for those who believe that all innovation educators today really help people learn to be more creative and innovative, it is obviously not that difficult to do. And if it's an easy task, then we can say that Artificial Intelligence can easily defeat it. In fact, it does not take a creative genius to understand how.
How to imitate creativity and innovation with artificial intelligence.
All you have to do is take the IBM Watson, connect it to a super computer and send it all the information of the world. Then, simply ask him to combine each word or phrase in each language, then ask Watson what this new sentence might mean. It will return with the answers and the probability percentage that each of these answers is correct for each new combination. Suppose that the results of the recomposition with high percentages, for example 75-99%, could be examined through collective purchases with people trained in these areas to determine if each of the answers obtained made sense. Using this technique, IA Innovating Watson could offer tens of millions of viable original ideas in one day.
Yes, this would be the first project in question, but this unique effort would create more original thoughts than the combined ones between Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Richard Feynman that they had imagined in their entire lives. Suppose that this number represents 10,000 new original ideas per man or 30,000 in total, an incredible number in all respects, but AI using a super computer and all the knowledge and information registered around the world, the innovative program The IA could propose a thousand millions of new original thoughts for the next weekend and this could continue until the exhaustion of the possibilities of combination.
Does this mean that AI will be the master of innovation? Does this mean that artificial intelligence will replace the human intellect? Does this mean that innovation consultants will become a thing of the past? Yes and no. Yes, because it is finally inevitable and not, because it will not happen overnight, and the AI will create a lot of work on the fly and humans will have to check all these new concepts, this could only employ millions of intellectuals in almost all the sectors, industries and intellectual domains. This project could last for decades and generate millions of jobs for more than 30 years.

Should Artificial Intelligent Robots Be Able to Tell Jokes?
There are obviously degrees of intelligence and if we call intelligent human beings, I hear people laughing in the background when I say that, but if we use the human brain as a model to design artificial intelligent robots, then we have: our work is done for us.
Indeed, I would think that a robot of high-end artificial intelligence should be able to think enough to invent his own jokes which his human companion might well make fun of. This topic was recently addressed in an online think tank when a member, Keith, said during the review of this topic;
"I could no longer disagree, humans expect computers and robots to respond with non-deceptive, jovial or other facts." Do you want to tolerate a washing machine or a dishwasher? saying the items were clean when they were not? Or wasting your time accepting an order but not running it, "like a joke"? "
This is of course not what I really thought, but it's an interesting point, indeed, that Keith argues. I thought instead that since humans have artificial intelligent companion robots, Android assistants, the human must unite with the artificial intelligent robot and try to keep things on an equal footing. respect. Because if you take the advice of a robot or an intelligent artificial machine, you must also respect them. And so you need a report.
Now, if your washing machine confused you and you could not trust it, it's one thing, a negative point, but if you had to live with an artificial person, that person would then need more human traits at beyond the behavior. Humor is something important. the comic relief makes sense. Interesting topic probably and you could perhaps consider this in 2006.

Artificial Intelligence Possible Concepts - Are You Ready for the Future
Artificial intelligence has come a long way in the last decade and has yet to be consulted; Where we are today Looking at the brief history of artificial intelligence or artificial intelligence, we see things like chess champions between humans and machines, but current research goes much further.
The applications and uses of artificial intelligent machines are endless. The forecasting software can help us in the areas of medicine, environmental monitoring, weather warnings and even to optimize our transportation systems and cash flows, and help us protect our country. The way forward for artificial intelligence is closer to the track and you can expect us to do the same in the next five years.
For example, if you are worried that your CEO is making too much money in your business, you will not have to worry, as it will soon be replaced by an artificial business tool; That's right, meet your new CEO.
Artificial intelligence will be used at work, but also at home and probably in your future flying car, which will be centrally connected to all other cars on the road to avoid crashing and letting you read your newspaper put your lipstick and talk on your cell phone while your car drives alone.
This is the future of artificial intelligence and it will arrive soon. Of course, artificial intelligence and future transport controls are likely to have disadvantages. For example, every time you accelerate, you receive a ticket by email, which you must pay because the system will be connected to electronic government.
If you think you can park in a prohibited parking area without getting a parking ticket, think again because in the future you will not be able to get a parking ticket because the system knows everything.

What Will the Artificial Intelligent Robotic Androids Be like in the Future?
The answer is relatively simple and you can expect artificially intelligent robotic androids at home, similar to the Hollywood movie "AI." Your artificial and intelligent robotic androids will also be a member of the family and a companion.
Of course, in the future, there will be colonies on Mars and the Moon and artificially intelligent systems will help humans manage these habitats to protect them from damage. Of course, there will be similar systems that will protect our country from damage. Our national defense will be made up of artificially intelligent robotic computer systems, including AI in the battle space centered on the network.
The complete logistics chain for the army will be run using artificially intelligent software that predicts needs as they occur in real time. The NSA, the FBI and the CIA will have artificially intelligent supercomputers, which sweep a billion bytes of information every minute to protect our country.
Will artificially intelligent robotic androids merge with humans?
We already see artificial components used in the medical industry to help people with lost members in the future. These robotic arms and legs will work with wireless devices and will be controlled by brain thinking. Should we be alarmed by the fusion of man and machine?
AI in your brain and AI controlling your electronic devices thinking?
In the future, you can get your PhD. and it will simply be a small information chip that will connect to your brain's port. You can have multiple PhDs in many different areas and your CV will be really out of the ordinary, combining artificial intelligence with real human intelligence. Please consider all this.

The Turing Test, Artificial Intelligence and Science Fiction
It is even difficult to start a debate about the possibility of artificial intelligence, because we have to eliminate so many semantic debris before we can agree on what we are talking about.
For starters, does artificial intelligence imply an artificial consciousness of the self, an artificial consciousness? In my opinion, this should be the case. Otherwise, we are really talking about advanced machines.
But some would disagree and say that the question of conscience is not important; It is the construction of an expert system that simulates human intelligence for practical purposes.
This may well turn out to be an issue that deserves to be decided, since many experts predict that artificial intelligence (AI) will be realized in the current century and will pose a great threat to human supremacy on this planet.
Another point, perhaps less urgent, but equally interesting at the philosophical level, is this: can all intelligence be artificial? If a machine becomes conscious of itself, should not it be considered that this condition has been activated instead of "created" by the human constructors of the physical structure of the machine? After all, parents who father children are considered to be issuers rather than creators of life.
In my opinion, if a machine is built with a level of recursive complexity that leads to self-consciousness, it will be thanks to an attraction that complexity will be exercised at any level of reality that governs the arrival of consciousness. In the words of Philip K. Dick, the machine "caught" life.
Another point is that it is possible, in a more distant future, that the automation of the machine advances to such an extent that adjustments and automatic adaptations begin to present a close analogy with biological evolution. In this case, the notion of "artificiality" is relegated to a second plane, because machines in fact become an integral part of nature and react to natural conditions as other creatures do. This idea is brilliantly described in the Poul Anderson story, "Epilogue" (1962). Electronic models, which contain complete information on the design of machines, play the role of DNA. Hard radiation affects these recordings because they would affect an organic gene, and the resulting mutations play a role in natural selection. The superior machines have something analogous to sexual reproduction ("... their body diagram has been crossed by currents and magnetic fields ... the two heterodyned patterns and in the deepest part of it had had the first crystallization to place").
In the Ooranye project, a series of stories that take place on the giant planet Uranus, not well known to astronomers, but its most real and archetypal: the process of evolution of the machine has resulted in a category of beings, Ghepiones. , which are partly organic. Components of the city, means of transport or even the landscape.
After considering all this, what is left of the usefulness of the Turing test?
This is the test suggested by Alan Turing (1912-1954) in his 1950 article entitled "Computing Machinery and Intelligence". To perform the test, someone questions an invisible human and an invisible machine, and tries to distinguish them by the quality of their responses. If the machine responds so well that it can not be separated from the human respondent, it has passed the test and can be considered a successful imitator of the human mind.
Maybe Turing himself was happy to leave him there. If we only talk about evaluating the degree of imitation, the test is good. But, of course, it is impossible to leave it there, because the broader philosophical questions attract attention. It is unfortunate that some authors, such as Arthur C Clarke, seem to think that the Turing test is something more useful. It's as if they said that the issue of self-consciousness is not important.
On the other hand, I can underestimate Clarke; perhaps when he says that we are all machines (thus emphasizing that it is the motive that counts and not the material), he argues in favor of a transcendent consciousness that both organic and inorganic organisms possess as soon as possible. They reach a certain level of complexity. In other words, he says that complexity is consciousness, which is a wise or stupid thing, depending on whether, in the back of his mind, he allows a higher level of reality in which consciousness can register.
If you do not allow this higher level of reality, you can only allow many particles and force fields to interact at the same monistic level. In this case, whatever the complexity, nothing qualitative. Without transcendence, you can not even have sensitivity, let alone intelligence.
I do not base this claim on my religious nature, but on the absolutely fundamental distinction made / value in philosophy. This distinction has never been convincingly refuted and certainly must be one of the few solid conclusions that philosophers have reached over millennia of intellectual effort and controversy. You can not take a value out of a fact. That is, he can not draw a word from an article without presupposing a "better" and a "worse".
If you do not believe me, try it. Is life better than death? Yes? Why? Why does life add complexity and variety to the universe? But who says that complexity and variety are better than simplicity and monotony? It is not good to discuss alone. The value comes from its own dimension. It has its own origin, its own aspect or its own level of reality. If I could extract a value from a fact, it would immediately cease to be a value. ("This mother died to save her children!" "Ah, I was just obeying her imperative of evolution").
Maybe in the coming decades, a machine will "wake up" with a personality. Some people can use this to argue against spiritual beliefs, as if proving that we brought the spirit back to earth and showed that it was just a refined circuit board. On the contrary, I would say: the creation of an artificial intelligence will be the last nail in the coffin of materialism.

Artificial Intelligence and the Turing Test
The Turing test is often discussed without reference to the fact that it is not a test but a definition of artificial intelligence.
Before explaining this statement, allow me to sketch the background of the subject.
Thirty years ago, computers grew so fast and became so powerful that "artificial intelligence" chairs were created in the best universities and it was feared that computers would take over. Nowadays, computers are much more powerful and much more portable, but humans still seem to control them.
The idea of taking over computers was always absurd. A computer takes into account the data provided by human beings, executes a program of instructions written by humans and transmits the output data to its human operator, who can activate and deactivate them at any time. The output data can be used for a variety of purposes, including robot control as in the automotive industry. But we are far from a robot that plays tennis and can beat Djokowic, Nadal, Andy Murray or Federer. The only type of robot that would probably approach him would be one with a pseudo-biological construction that imitates muscle and bone. Such a robot would be an intelligent device, but far from being equivalent to a human clone playing tennis. Such a clone is a distant possibility but it would not be a human design computer.
But even thirty years ago, the subject was not new. The pioneer of computer science, Alan Turing, had analyzed the question "Can computers think" in the 1940s and suggested a test to answer it, what is now called the Turing test? ? Essentially, a human interrogator was sitting alone in a room with a keyboard on which he could ask questions. The written answers would be provided by an entity in another room and published in the interrogator. After about ten minutes of interrogation, the interrogator would declare the human or artificial entity. If the entity had been declared human but in fact was artificial, it would have passed the test.
We could design a refinement of the test by replacing the questions with movements in a chess game. Nowadays, the artificial player almost always defeats any human opponent in chess, but that does not mean that the computer thinks about its actions as a great master does. It is simply a matter of following the instructions of a very long program designed by man. The grand master has the understanding of the whole game; The computer calculates the best opportunities for your next move. It is a simple combat partner for the human, not a substitute for live game that is more popular than ever. The fact that a computer can beat a human does not destroy the appeal of chess, rather than the fact that a cheetah can defeat a man destroys the attractiveness of athletics. Neither computers nor cheetahs take over.
The philosopher John Searle gave an example in the 1980s in which the test consisted of translating Chinese messages into English. It was conceivable that an artificial device could be built to do it perfectly according to a routine programmed step by step. But as Searle pointed out, that would not prove that the computer could think.
When a computer "passes the test", we should ask ourselves: "What did he really do?" And the answer is that the computer simply performed a prescribed task also or better than the human being. It is a mistake to conclude that the Turing test showed that the computer can think. The test is simply a way of deciding whether or not to think about the task at hand. If there seems to be a reflection, we can say, by definition, that the computer shows artificial intelligence.
In summary, the Turing test should be seen as a way to determine if the computer shows "artificial intelligence," not to decide if it really thinks.
And the display of "artificial intelligence" by a computer does not prove that it has fundamental beliefs or self-awareness. In fact, as Bertrand Russell argued, we can not prove that our partners have a spirit like us. We are forced to believe it without proof. But there is no reason to believe the same about computers. (See next note in 'Creeds').
I hope that one day public figures (scientists, broadcasters, presenters, religious, commentators) will see it as a duty to tell us clearly and briefly "where they come from", that is, to publish their beliefs or "My Creed in a few words" (acronym) mycian ").

Roboethics and the Inevitability of Artificial Intelligence
The opinions expressed in the ethical debate about the creation of artificial intelligence (AI) are as diverse as the most heated debates. Not only is there the question of whether or not we will "play God" by creating a real AI, but also the question of how to install a set of respectful ethics of human beings in a sensitive machine.
As humanity is currently divided into many countries, religions and groups, the question of who should make the last call is delicate. The country that comes first and the dominant opinion in its government and scientific community may be left behind. After that, we may have to let it work and hope that everything goes well.
Is the birth of artificial intelligence inevitable?
Each week, dozens of academic publications are published in universities around the world, firmly defending different opinions. An interesting factor here is that it is widely accepted that this event will occur in the coming decades. After all, in 2011, Caltech created the first artificial neural network in a test tube, the first robot with "muscles" and "tendons" that are currently with us in the form of Ecci, and considerable progress has been made in Almost all the scientific discipline.
It is as exciting as it is amazing to think that we could attend such an event. Nick Bostrom, of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oxford, said in an article: "There does not seem to be a good reason to attribute an insignificant probability to the assumption that a superintelligence will be created during the lives of some people alive today." It is a complicated way of saying that super intelligent science fiction machines are a very likely future reality.
Roboethics and Machine Ethics
So, what ethics is involved here? Roboethics considers the rights of the machines that we create in the same way as our own human rights. Examining the rights of a sensitive robot, such as freedom of expression and personal expression, is a reality.
The ethics of machines is slightly different and applies to computers and other systems sometimes called artificial moral agents (AMA). A good example of this is in the army and in the philosophical enigma of responsibility that would fall on someone who died in a "friendly fire" of an artificially intelligent drone. How can you make a martial machine?
In 1942, Isaac Asimov wrote a short story that defined his Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot can not hurt a human being or, by his inaction, allow a human being to hurt himself.
2. A robot must obey the orders given by human beings unless such orders are contrary to the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as this protection does not conflict with the first or second law.
This trio of well-designed rules of behavior seems infallible, but how will they behave in real life? Asimov's series of stories on the subject suggested that no rule could properly govern behavior in a completely infallible way in all potential situations and inspired the 2004 film of the same name: "I, Robot".
Who Gets to Call the Shots?
Other controversial areas of development, such as biotechnology, also raise the question of whether we are trying to interpret God. These are difficult questions, but it seems almost inevitable that scientific progress is pushing the limits in the coming decades. The powerful combination of our endless curiosity and possible commercial applications will inevitably continue to move things forward.
So, where is this artificial intelligence technology? Certainly, the power potentially controlled by a super artificial intelligence, the technology it could create and the devastation it could cause if it became uncontrollable, would place it in a completely different sphere to create algae that harness the energy of the sun?
It can be argued that Japan is currently at the forefront of robotic systems, and in view of the declining population of a growing percentage of older people who need pensions and medical care funded by a limited number of active contributors, it seems unlikely that Japan is suddenly held back due to the current situation. ethical debate.
As interesting as it is to take into account the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, it is easy to overlook the fact that it is a global problem, a human race rather than a specific problem. a country It is not like landing on the Moon where countries can compete in a space race scenario. But perhaps with the growing effect of the Internet that unites us all, some decisions will be made in the general way they deserve.
As humanity is currently divided into many countries, religions and groups, the question of who should make the last call is delicate. The country that comes first and the dominant opinion in its government and scientific community may be left behind. After that, we may have to let it work and hope that everything goes well.
Is the birth of artificial intelligence inevitable?
Each week, dozens of academic publications are published in universities around the world, firmly defending different opinions. An interesting factor here is that it is widely accepted that this event will occur in the coming decades. After all, in 2011, Caltech created the first artificial neural network in a test tube, the first robot with "muscles" and "tendons" that are currently with us in the form of Ecci, and considerable progress has been made in Almost all the scientific discipline.
It is as exciting as it is amazing to think that we could attend such an event. Nick Bostrom, of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oxford, said in an article: "There does not seem to be a good reason to attribute an insignificant probability to the assumption that a superintelligence will be created during the lives of some people alive today." It is a complicated way of saying that super intelligent science fiction machines are a very likely future reality.
Roboethics and Machine Ethics
So, what ethics is involved here? Roboethics considers the rights of the machines that we create in the same way as our own human rights. Examining the rights of a sensitive robot, such as freedom of expression and personal expression, is a reality.
The ethics of machines is slightly different and applies to computers and other systems sometimes called artificial moral agents (AMA). A good example of this is in the army and in the philosophical enigma of responsibility that would fall on someone who died in a "friendly fire" of an artificially intelligent drone. How can you make a martial machine?
In 1942, Isaac Asimov wrote a short story that defined his Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot can not hurt a human being or, by his inaction, allow a human being to hurt himself.
2. A robot must obey the orders given by human beings unless such orders are contrary to the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as this protection does not conflict with the first or second law.
This trio of well-designed rules of behavior seems infallible, but how will they behave in real life? Asimov's series of stories on the subject suggested that no rule could properly govern behavior in a completely infallible way in all potential situations and inspired the 2004 film of the same name: "I, Robot".
Who Gets to Call the Shots?
Other controversial areas of development, such as biotechnology, also raise the question of whether we are trying to interpret God. These are difficult questions, but it seems almost inevitable that scientific progress is pushing the limits in the coming decades. The powerful combination of our endless curiosity and possible commercial applications will inevitably continue to move things forward.
So, where is this artificial intelligence technology? Certainly, the power potentially controlled by a super artificial intelligence, the technology it could create and the devastation it could cause if it became uncontrollable, would place it in a completely different sphere to create algae that harness the energy of the sun?
It can be argued that Japan is currently at the forefront of robotic systems, and in view of the declining population of a growing percentage of older people who need pensions and medical care funded by a limited number of active contributors, it seems unlikely that Japan is suddenly held back due to the current situation. ethical debate.
As interesting as it is to take into account the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, it is easy to overlook the fact that it is a global problem, a human race rather than a specific problem. a country It is not like landing on the Moon where countries can compete in a space race scenario. But perhaps with the growing effect of the Internet that unites us all, some decisions will be made in the general way they deserve.
Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks and Smart Computers
The current computer system, which has evolved considerably, is part of the technological evolution of the company. Living without a computer is like a brake on progress, because they are the most important tool in any activity of daily life, they help us maintain our accounts, develop new technologies and connect to the world.
A conventional computer is capable of performing millions of operations per second, but it can not make decisions on its own. In other words, a computer can not perform tasks on its own. It must be programmed, but only one program is limited to one task. A specific task, and for several tasks requires several programs. Computer manufacturers provide us with the hardware necessary to run the computer, and software developers provide programs that allow us to use hardware as a tool, but what would happen if a computer could make decisions without using large amounts of specialized software?
The new technology developers have looked for alternatives to carry out this task. An amazing discovery was made 50 years ago when studying the human brain; It is possible to implement an artificial system based on the same architecture as the biological neural networks and their operation, so that they develop artificial intelligence and neural networks.
Artificial intelligence is nothing more than a set of techniques based on the behavior of a human brain, mainly to learn and make decisions. For the most part, living beings are biological systems that learn and are capable of making decisions, decisions that are generally based on survival.
Similarly, artificial intelligence systems require learning and decisions, but unlike biological systems, artificial systems work on the basis of mathematical algorithms and learning is induced for specific purposes. In artificial intelligence, there are many categories, but in the case of smart computers, the most used are artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms, among others.
Neural networks are nothing more than an emulation of the neuronal system of the brain, and each element of the biological system is replaced by a mathematical equivalent. A network of artificial neurons can perform similar tasks in the human brain, tasks that a common computer can not perform, such as image recognition, voice recognition and decision making. However, this system has the disadvantage of having a disadvantage compared to a programmed system. In other words, a network of untrained neurons is like a newborn baby coming into the world. Therefore, scientists have developed different models of neural networks, each with different capabilities and algorithms.
Nowadays, the use of artificial intelligence and neural networks is implemented in software, imitating the parallel nature of a neural network to a linear system. The most common applications are speech recognition, character recognition (OCR), image reconstruction, etc., but they are also implemented in the hardware, where the linear structure of the processors is replaced by a neural structure, which is extracts Part of the parallel nature of neural networks. . This new technology is called neuronal processors.
Neural processors are currently used in specific applications, such as robotics, for which it is easy to implement at the moment, but recently they have developed hybrid systems that use microprocessors and neural processors, generally used in servers.
I might think that artificial intelligence technology will help society improve their standard of living, but we must also bear in mind that inheriting our biological capabilities from a machine makes us more dependent on them. and that this addiction only slows down our intellectual abilities. capabilities To avoid this, you have to see these machines for what they are: tools to improve.

Is "It" Directing Our Fate?
"I'm visualizing a moment in which we're going to show robots how dogs are for humans, and I'm looking for machines." -Claude Shannon
"The father of information theory" showed the power of artificial intelligence decades ago and we are seeing it now. We do not know, but most of our daily tasks are influenced by artificial intelligence, such as credit card transactions, the use of GPS in our vehicles, personal assistance provided by various applications of our smartphones or customer service in line through chatbots. That are very close to reality. But we are sure that in the future, the developments in artificial intelligence will not represent the greatest danger for us.
Today, this complex programming that is weak, AI reproduces the intelligence of human beings and surpasses humans in specific tasks. In the future, with the evolution of strong artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence will surpass almost all human tasks. The work and work that defines our identity and our way of life will be transmitted to the robots. There is no doubt that AI has the potential to be smarter than us, but we can not predict how it will behave in the future.
Currently, nobody in the world knows if a strong artificial intelligence will be beneficial or harmful to humanity. There is a group of experts who believe that strong artificial intelligence or superintelligence will help us to eradicate war, disease and poverty. In addition, some experts believe that it can be used criminally to develop autonomous weapons to kill human beings. They are also concerned about AI, which by itself can develop destructive methods to achieve the objectives.
Some people suggest that artificial intelligence can be handled as a nuclear weapon, but this comparison in itself is not wise. Nuclear weapons rarely need raw materials such as uranium and plutonium, while artificial intelligence is essentially software. When computers are powerful enough, anyone who knows how to write the appropriate code could create artificial intelligence anywhere.
Leading figures in the world of technology such as Bill Gates, Elon Musk and the great scientist Stephen Hawkins have already expressed concern about the future transformation of artificial intelligence. They are not wrong to see AI as the greatest existential threat because we already depend on intelligent systems and this dependence will only increase in the future.
What we could face in the future could be our own evolution. We control the world because we are the smartest. Can we maintain control when we are not the smartest? A visible solution today is to look for and be prepared for any possible future negative outcome. This will help us avoid the difficulties and benefits of AI.

Where Are We Today?
In fact, lately we hear a lot about artificial intelligence, but few really understand what artificial intelligence is. What is even more confusing for newbies and novices is that many people working in the field of artificial intelligence are debating its definition. The problem is compounded when commercial companies begin to promote their technologies as artificially intelligent when they are not.
There are two different categories in the field of artificial intelligence. One is those who believe that artificial intelligence is a computer software that mimics or seems to mimic human decision making. Then there is the group that thinks that they are purists who believe that the processing of neural networks is a true artificial intelligence. Of course, we are going to discuss the two types. We will also discuss all the applications, technologies that are or seem to be quite similar, that their creators or marketers have called artificial intelligence.
Today, most of the time we find applications such as search engines on the Internet, autonomous and interactive online operating systems, as well as speech recognition software, facial functions, fingerprints, spellchecker, voice programs, anti-spam or database analysis algorithms to find anomalies. Of course, the more intense the application, for example, in autonomous cars, independent aircraft, corporate telephone systems, weather forecasts, stock trading, military warfare, automated storage or space systems. The more important artificial intelligence becomes.
It should be relatively easy to see that artificial intelligence has changed our lives as much as the computers themselves and even more so in the future with artificially intelligent robotic androids in our homes and computers that make decisions at work. In the future, we will have artificial intelligence for our government, our transportation systems, our cash flow, our environment, our distribution systems, our virtual reality entertainment systems and almost anything you can imagine. After reading this book, you can think of more applications in your industry.
Is the sky the limit of artificial intelligence? In fact, it seems to be and maybe not, because we already use the AI under water and underground, so the sky is not the limit, neither the ground nor anything else. In this dimension. Artificial intelligence is not even limited to time, space, energy or matter in one dimension. In the future, humans may have additional characteristics in which humans and machines are fused using artificially intelligent components. Then, when we look at where we are today with artificial intelligent systems, the most appropriate response would be: We are on the tip of the ice.
The most pressing question is how to proceed. Does humanity have the discipline and integrity to continue advancing in this technology without sacrificing or risking everything we are and everything we have built? Maybe this is really the biggest question?

Artificial Intelligence Is a Must, Not a Need
Artificial intelligence refers to the proximity of science and engineering focused on the development of machines as intelligent as humans. They are created to adapt to behaviors considered by humans as intelligent, that is, by simulating behaviors that they consider intelligent through the use of machines.
Everything deals with the development of intelligent computer programs. The main objective of adopting AI is to allow a machine to discover, analyze and solve problems in parallel. It is not essential that the developed computer programs are as intelligent as humans in all aspects. But somehow, the machine with artificial intelligence can be even smarter than man.
The future of artificial intelligence will change everything in our lives.
The integration of artificial intelligence in computer programs helps create more efficient and effective systems. The opportunity offered by AI is challenging and effective.
The shameless trap that must be taken into account when it comes to the efficiency and opportunities offered by this high-tech world is that the amount of data generated daily is growing rapidly and it becomes impossible to exploit and analyze them. completely. . The amount of data generated made it impossible for humans to handle them, that is, exceeded their capabilities and allowed them to extract valuable information.
Data science professionals with experience and skills try to create correlations between different inputs to obtain a specific result. But with the volume of data, it has become relatively impossible to correlate all possible entries.
This is where artificial intelligence can help. The integration of the AI into the systems allows you to purify raw data into useful and pleasant information. The driver's seat in the field of artificial intelligence is managed by new and innovative codes generally called algorithms.
Let's take an example to understand how AI works:
- Facebook is a very popular social networking platform. Facebook deciphers tastes, activities, etc. of the user, and then determines the content of all its content in your news feed. The more active you are on Facebook, the more data will be generated and stored in the store.
- Integrated AI systems use deep learning to get infinite feedback on their algorithms as users interact. In this way, the so-called coding algorithms help Facebook analyze user interactions to determine what content to include in the news feed.
- Not only Facebook, even Twitter uses the concept of artificial intelligence to position tweets according to the relevance and interests of users, and also suggests tweets according to their interests.
Learning a New Language With an Artificial Intelligent Program - How Might That Work?
Some of Google's brilliant software engineers have been working on ways to help human translation, especially on the Internet. In fact, they want to use gamification to help do all that. It is a worthwhile endeavor that would also help people to learn new languages, while helping the world to communicate, no matter what language they use or the language their human mind has learned in school. Okay, let's talk about that because I have another idea.
This concept comes from the idea that we can use avatars to help autistic children get out of their shell while we teach them in special education classes. It turns out that it works very well and that we can use artificial intelligence to ask questions to autistic children, and it will be as if they were communicating with someone while communicating with a computer.
Now, what would happen if we did that, if we allowed people to use an artificial intelligence program to be able to communicate as correspondents on the Internet? Each time they communicated with the artificial intelligence program, they learned to communicate better and each person learned to correct the grammar by writing a secondary language.
If the artificial intelligent computer asked the person who participated if he would kindly correct some grammatical error, the next time the artificial intelligence system would improve even more. It would also help people to practice communicating with people from other cultures and using other languages, to the point of being comfortable talking to someone from any language at home. future. In fact, it would open communications on a global scale for the good of humanity. Now, why do I think it will work?
It's simple because I looked at the various translation tools currently in use, all the gamification that is happening and all the monitoring tools that IARPA is working on, and then I looked at all the speech and voice recognition software we have. This technology that I describe fits perfectly with my new concept here. Not only that, but the intelligent artificial computer could become so good that it could easily pass the Turing test.
In fact, I would not be surprised if people are already working on this type of software and we still do not have the capacity. If so, we should use it for the greater good of humanity and global communication to bring the world closer. Please consider all this and think about it.

How Will Artificial Intelligence Affect Our Lives In The Next Ten Years?
The main objective of this essay is the future of artificial intelligence (AI). To better understand how AI is likely to develop, I intend to explore its history and current state first. By showing how their role in our lives has changed and expanded so far, I will be able to better predict their future trends.
Nowadays, artificial intelligence is already part of our lives. For example, there are several systems based on AI only in Microsoft Word. The little trombone that tells us how to use Office tools is based on a network of Bayesian beliefs and red and green scribbles that tell us if we misspelled a word or read a sentence of research in natural language. However, you can say that it did not have a positive impact on our lives. Such tools have simply replaced good spelling and grammar with a device that saves time and produces the same result. For example, I compulsively spell the word "successful" and other words with several incorrect double letters every time I write them, it does not matter, because the software I use corrects my work automatically, relieving the pressure. to improve myself The end result is that these tools have damaged rather than improving my written skills in English. Voice recognition is another product of natural language research that has had a much more dramatic impact on people's lives. Advances in the accuracy of speech recognition software have helped an amazing friend who, two years ago, lost her sight and limbs to seize her sepsis. University of Cambridge. Speech recognition had a bad start, since the success rate when it was used was too poor to be useful unless it had perfect and predictable spoken English, but now it has progressed to the point where it is possible to do a translation. on the progress. The system under development is a telephone system with English-Japanese translation in real time. These artificial intelligence systems are successful because they do not attempt to imitate the human mind as a system would likely be subject to the Turing test. Instead, they mimic very specific parts of our intelligence. The grammatical systems of Microsoft Words mimic the part of our intelligence that judges the grammatical precision of a sentence. He does not know the meaning of the words, because it is not necessary to make a judgment. The voice recognition system emulates another subset other than our intelligence, the ability to deduce the symbolic meaning of speech. And the translator on the fly expands voice recognition systems with speech synthesis. This shows that by being more precise with the function of an artificially intelligent system, it can be more precise in its operation.
Artificial intelligence is now at a point where it can provide valuable support to accelerate the tasks people still perform, such as artificial intelligence systems based on rules used in accounting and tax software, improving the tasks. like the search for algorithms and the improvement of mechanical brakes and brake systems. Injection of fuel in a car. Interestingly, the most successful examples of artificial intelligent systems are those that are almost invisible to their users. Very few people thank artificial intelligence for saving their lives by simply avoiding the impact of their car due to the computer-controlled braking system.
One of the main problems of modern artificial intelligence is how to simulate the common sense that people acquire during their first years. An ongoing project, launched in 1990, is called CYC. The objective of the project is to provide a common sense database that artificial intelligence systems can consult to allow them to give a more human sense to the data they possess. Search engines like Google are already starting to use the information compiled as part of this project to improve their services. For example, consider the word mouse or string, a mouse can be a computer input device or a rodent, and a string can mean an array of ASCII characters or a string length. In the type of search function we are used to, if you wrote one of these words, a list of links to each document containing the specified search term was displayed. By using an artificially intelligent system with access to CYC's common-sense database, when you assign the word "mouse" to the search engine, you can ask if you want to talk about the electronic or fur variety. Then you could filter any search result that contains the word out of the desired context. Such a common sense database would also be invaluable in helping an AI pass the Turing test.
In recent times, investment in AI research has also increased considerably. In fact, companies realize the potential of saving time and work of these tools. Artificial intelligence can make existing applications easier to use, more intuitive for user behavior and more responsive to changes in the environment in which they operate. It leads to a collapse of the new capital. However, there is no doubt that Amnesty International has amply reimbursed its thirty years of investment in saving working time and more efficient software. Artificial intelligence is now one of the main investment priorities, with benefactors from the military, commercial and governmental world. The Pentagon recently invested $ 29 million in an AI-based system to help officers the same way a personal assistant would.
Since the birth of Amnesty International in the 1950s, he has moved from mathematics and physics to evolutionary biology, psychology and cognitive studies in hopes of gaining a more complete understanding of what he does. A system, be it organic or electronic, an intelligent system. Artificial intelligence has already made a big difference in our lives in the fields of recreation, communications, transportation, science and space exploration. It can be used as a way to use our time more efficiently to design complex elements, such as microprocessors or other AI. In the near future, it is about to become such an important part of our lives as computers and automobiles, and it can begin to replace people in the same way as the automation of steelmaking in the 1960s and 70. Many of its applications sound incredible, toy robots that help children learn, boxes of smart pills that bother you when you forget to take your medications, alarm clocks that teach your sleep patterns or personal assistants that can learn. continuously through the internet. However, many of its applications seem to lead to something terrible. The Pentagon is one of the largest investors in artificial intelligence research in the world. There is currently a lot of research on AI AI soldiers that look like small tanks and evaluate their targets automatically without human intervention. This device could also be reapplied as a low-cost national police. Fortunately, the dark future of artificial intelligence is still a Hollywood fantasy and the toy that we must care for the most in the near future is defeated in chess by a toy for children.
Artificial Intelligence Around Us
During the 1980s, artificial intelligence aroused much interest in the United States. The great expectations of the 1980s were followed by the skepticism of the 1990s, during which the limited capabilities of our current computers were emphasized. The skepticism of the 1990s has largely ended and one of the main scientific and industrial challenges of the 21st century is the development of Intelligent Artificial Systems (AIS).
The development of AIS aims to create new technologies that provide solutions to the problems of electronics and heavy industries, agriculture, energy and resource conservation, transport, human health, public safety, national security and other areas.
Speaking at a conference in Buenos Aires in 1995, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (vice president of the United States from 1993 to 2001 under the presidency of Bill Clinton) said: "These roads, or more precisely the distributed intelligence networks, they will allow us to share information, connect and communicate as a global community.From these connections, we will achieve solid and sustainable economic progress, solid democracies, better solutions to local and global environmental challenges, better medical care and, ultimately, a greater sense of shared administration of our world.
From a historical point of view, the AIS emerged in the last century as a result of the evolution of man-machine systems, in which the functions of man and machine are interdependent for the operation of these systems. . For example, a craftsman who operates a lathe, a driver and his car in motion, as well as the workers and machines of a power plant, are all man-machine systems. In a human-machine system, the human operator provides the objective, the direction and the integration. The machine executes everything according to the instructions given and provides comments.
During the evolution of man-machine systems, the role of man has diminished compared to that of the machines he exploits. To perform routine functions, machines are increasingly equipped with control subsystems and the resulting human-machine systems are called "semiautomatic" systems. Little by little, many semiautomatic systems became automatic systems.
Thanks to computer systems, there has been a fantastic change in many technological areas in recent decades. The previous machines had the role of carrying out tasks entrusted by human beings. Today, these machines are equipped with highly advanced programmable control systems and various types of sensory devices, allowing them to perform many human tasks, including creative problem solving. Meanwhile, engineers and scientists working on bionic technologies are approaching the creation of machines that can perform certain human functions for people with disabilities. As a result, the preconditions for the birth of artificial intelligence appeared.
Ray Kurzweil, in his very interesting book, Singularity is Real, found an adequate metaphor to describe the process of propagating computer systems. He said: "Improving computer performance is like the water that slowly floods the landscape." Half a century ago, it began to drown the lowlands, pursuing human calculators and registry employees, but leaving most of us dry. It has reached the foothills and our outposts are retreating, we feel safe in our summits, but at the current rate, they will also submerge in half a century.
It is also a fair statement about artificial intelligence (AI). In recent years, some programs and systems of artificial intelligence have managed to copy certain functions of the human brain and expand their cognitive and decision-making abilities. As a result, some existing machines can now perform the functions of a human operator based on knowledge, but with better quality. The inventor of the Lisp programming language, John McCarthy, who also coined the term "artificial intelligence" in his proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth conference, defines AI as "the science and engineering of machine manufacturing." smart".
The term "intelligence" is derived from the Latin "intellectus" and is defined as "mind, powers of human thought". According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "intelligence" has several meanings:
- The ability to learn or understand or face new or difficult situations: for example, the skillful use of reason or the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate the environment or think abstractly according to objective criteria
- Information about an enemy or potential enemy or area; and an agency responsible for obtaining this information.
- Mental acuity
- The eternal quality of the divine spirit (Christian Science).
- The ability to execute the function of the computer.
It makes sense to analyze the definition, "the ability to perform a computer function". At first glance, an executable computer program, which provides computer functions (for example, calculate or write text), has no intelligence. However, consider for a moment that "the human or animal instinct" is the inherent disposition of a living organism to a particular behavior. On the basis of our computer knowledge, we can count the "instinct" as a group of programs written in genetic material such as DNA.
When a worker performs his tasks automatically, it means that he has in his brain the "programs" necessary for automatic actions. In part, these programs were created through the special training he received to enable him to do his job. The acquired and congenital programs are all part of the human intellect or intelligence. The same goes for an executable computer program. The program contains a part of the intellect of its creators, translated into a language (code) understood by the machine.
Therefore, an executable computer program has some intelligence. Modern computer systems that can, for example, choose an optimal decision or rationally analyze the external influences of this decision are intelligent systems. This is the reason why artificial intelligence is a powerful resource for solving a wide range of problems (including non-formalized ones) for which there is currently no known solution.
Historically, the term "intelligence" has partnered with government organizations (agencies) dedicated to gathering information for national security and defense purposes, such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in America. Nowadays, this term has a broader meaning, with practical applications for systems and real products. Artificial intelligence methods include elements found in cybernetics, computer science, psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, operations research, economics, control theory and mathematics, among others. Artificial intelligence also connects and overlaps in areas such as robotics, control systems, planning, data mining and logistics.
Artificial intelligence systems are the realization of the science of artificial intelligence. In other words, the AI could be called "Artificial Intelligence Application". The term "IA" is also used to describe an intelligence property of new machines or programs. Many experts in artificial intelligence predict that by the middle of the century there will be intelligent machines around us. Machines like robots are already affecting our lives. Automobiles, electronics and aircraft are assembled and tested using several robotic machines. The fact that computers have saved the world from the explosion of information, while becoming accessible to students and other everyday users, is largely due to the use of intelligent machines. Almost all the machines that surround us are rapidly becoming "smart", with the help of smart applications. The revenues generated by the artificial intelligence and robotics industries are now worth billions of dollars a year.
With advanced computer systems used in traffic control or manufacturing, it is reasonable to maintain the human capacity to solve bottleneck problems in real time. Man-machine systems can exist at different levels of automation (from manual to autonomous) and artificial intelligence systems can have different degrees, from the simplest to the most complex.
Today, many artificial intelligence applications are present in industry, commerce, medicine, automobile navigation, communications, military operations, space exploration, etc. An average person may have little or no knowledge of current AI applications, however, they encounter AI results several times a day. For example, the surprising functionality of everyday machines, such as cars, sewing machines, kitchen appliances and the Internet, or the quality of television images, movies and telephone communications are due to the fact that artificial intelligence is used in many common applications. High technology products.
It is very likely that AIS will become commonplace in the very near future, as the widespread use of these systems will bring more prosperity and improve the well-being of all people on our planet. Intelligent automation systems, various consulting programs and robots can and will do the work we can not or do not want to do.

Five Benefits of Artificial Intelligence
One of the most misunderstood terms of technology is artificial intelligence. Several arguments have been made about how this could lead to a very disturbing concept for the human race. However, unknowingly, the cognitive system is already in use and is even appreciated by all those who fear the effects. Some argue that this will lead to several distortions, including unemployment. However, artificial intelligence is managed, maintained and even encoded by humans. It is a means of employment, instead of unemployment.
It only means that artificial intelligence can help improve human life and reduce stress. Here are the benefits of artificial intelligence.
Marketing and Business Summary
Data is probably the most important raw material for transforming an economy into a digital economy. However, these raw data float in the air untapped, untreated and useless. It can be implemented in minutes for data mining and large data processing to provide information about business prospects.
Fraud detection
One of the films that has shown much of what artificial intelligence can really do is BattleShip 2012. Artificial intelligence can be used to detect fraud by analyzing the data of various fraudulent behaviors. The system can trace the possible links and the direction that a fraud can take through the application of artificial intelligence, which involves analyzing the data from a previous record implemented in a cognitive system to track, plot and even be fully aware of the possibilities . Fraudulent action before they occur.
Quick entry and management of new information.
Over the years, companies are constantly looking for ways to manage dates, capture them quickly and retrieve them when necessary. This has resulted in different sets of improvements, from the introduction of the classification to several other storage methods. However, the data can be imputed at a faster pace and quickly recovered. Therefore, each file is organized accordingly without wasting time thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.
Analysis of large data
For all companies, organizations and even government, decision making is a key role to play. A single mistake can be expensive or ruin the organization. It is possible to analyze millions of data to ensure that each aspect has been examined before making decisions. The analysis of large data can extract, analyze and compress raw information to facilitate decision making.
Automated systems
Since the evolution of the industrial sector, the improvement of technology has always been recognized and accompanies automated work improvement systems. The introduction of artificial intelligence in hotel reservations, tractors and factory machinery is rapidly being automated, which has many advantages in terms of waste reduction, error reduction and to improve production.
As a company, start planning to improve and grow; It has become essential to introduce several measures that will help achieve this goal. Artificial intelligence has come to play this role so compelling that it can transform the face of a company, a government and even an entire economy, moving on a regular basis to move things towards a more sophisticated method.
Artificial Intelligence Versus Human Intelligence
Nowadays, many companies prefer to analyze their commercial situations using artificial intelligence instead of human intelligence. Although the question of whether it is better to work with human intelligence than to work with human intelligence is debated or not, we are moving slowly towards an era in which human intelligence is receding. Raymond Kurzweil, researcher, entrepreneur and pioneer of artificial intelligence, predicted that human intelligence would be surpassed by artificial intelligence in the 21st century.
Sharp HealthCare, a company based in San Diego, decided in 2004 to improve its ability to analyze clinical outcomes and AI care. Organizations have used PinPoint Quality from MedAI Inc to help with the analysis. He has been using the application for three years and recently renewed his contract with them.
What is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence constructs intelligent entities through computers in collaboration with human intelligence. It helps the company to better understand health insurance and can be used to test the theories of human intelligence by writing programs that mimic the same. Artificial intelligence is widely used in sectors such as banking, health, stock trading, robot control and telecommunications companies.
Artificial intelligence is slowly changing the way people think and act, and take our minds to the next level. Today, most high security institutions rely on facial recognition, fingerprinting or scanning of the retina to unlock secure doors in rooms, or even computers, by manually entering passwords. Very quickly, it is estimated that we will no longer eliminate password entry to unlock our personal computers, but we would prefer to use a facial scanner at home. Therefore, to summarize, although we still depend to a large extent on HI for economic and social progress, this dependence is gradually diminishing and, day after day, we are leaning more and more towards artificial intelligence. macro level to help us develop socially and economically, but also at the micro level to help us in our daily tasks.

Some Facts About AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Artificial intelligence is a concept that concerns people from all over the world and from all times. The ancient Greeks and Egyptians represented in their myths and philosophies artificial machines and entities with qualities similar to those of man, especially in regard to thought, reasoning and intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computing responsible for the study and design of intelligent machines. The term "artificial intelligence", invented at the Dartmouth conference in 1956, comes from John McCarthy, who defined it as the science of creating an intelligent machine.
Parallel to the development of electronic computers, this field and concept, called artificial intelligence, aimed, in the 1940s, to create intelligent machines that resemble humans, more precisely and with qualities like those of the human being. . .
The disciplines involved in artificial intelligence are extremely diverse. The areas of knowledge such as mathematics, psychology, philosophy, logic, engineering, social sciences, cognitive sciences and computer science are extremely important and are closely related, in regard to artificial intelligence. All these fields and sciences contribute to the creation of intelligent machines that look human.
The fields of application of artificial intelligence are extremely varied, such as robotics, software computing, learning systems, planning, representation and reasoning of knowledge, logical programming, natural language processing, image recognition , image comprehension, artificial vision, planning, expert systems and more.
The field of artificial intelligence has been evolving rapidly and dramatically since 1956, and researchers have succeeded in creating intelligent machines capable of doing, in part, what man is capable of doing.
Obviously, researchers have found and still find several problems to simulate human intelligence. An intelligent machine must have a series of characteristics and must comply with particular standards. For example, the human being is able to solve a problem more quickly using mainly intuitive judgments instead of conscious judgments.
Researchers have also extensively analyzed the representation of knowledge, which refers to the knowledge of the world that intelligent machines must have to solve problems such as objects or categories of objects, properties of objects, relations between objects. , the relationships between causes and effects, circumstances, situations, etc.
In addition, another challenge for researchers in the field of artificial intelligence is that intelligent machines must be able to plan the problems to be solved, define a series of objectives that must be achieved, and be able to make decisions. and to predict actions, they must be able to learn, understand human languages, show emotions and understand and predict the behavior of others.
Artificial intelligence is an extremely complex and wide area of knowledge that raises many questions and is controversial, but it also solves many of the problems that technology and industry face today and can offer many answers in the field. future.
Artificial Intelligence in Computers
Artificial intelligence is the branch of computing that aims to develop machines to act in the same way that humans work with intelligence. The word artificial intelligence was coined by John McCarthy in 1956 at Dartmouth College. Artificial intelligent computers will have the ability to write programs on their own if they are in a difficult situation. They also have the ability to test various programs and methods to achieve their goal. If they find an error, they will store it in memory and never make the same mistake again. A great service is that the mistake they make will be sent to all the other AI computers related to them so they do not make the same mistake.
As technology advances, the artificial intelligence system will provide more services, such as autonomous automobiles, autopilot aircraft, corporate phone systems, etc. These computers can also perform complicated tasks, such as weather forecasting and stock trading. The future of artificially formed computers can not be predicted. Scientists are trying to make computers capable of overcoming the intelligence of humans. The future intelligent artificial computer can change the lives of humans; They are trying to create computers that can understand human speech and even beat the smartest chess man.
Investments in research in the area of AI are increasing. In fact, they are aware of the potential outcome of such research. The effectiveness of a possible artificial training system is unimaginable. But it is true that researchers will achieve a result that will save them time and labor. Recently, the Pentagon has invested approximately $ 29 million in this area to form a system of assistance to its managers. Many controversies will arise along with future technological heights acquired by artificially formed systems.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), what is it ?
What is it ?
Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Most AI examples that you hear about today – from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars – rely heavily on deep learning and natural language processing. Using these technologies, computers can be trained to accomplish specific tasks by processing large amounts of data and recognizing patterns in the data.
The History About AI
The term artificial intelligence was coined in 1956, but AI has become more popular today thanks to increased data volumes, advanced algorithms, and improvements in computing power and storage.
Early AI research in the 1950s explored topics like problem solving and symbolic methods. In the 1960s, the US Department of Defense took interest in this type of work and began training computers to mimic basic human reasoning. For example, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) completed street mapping projects in the 1970s. And DARPA produced intelligent personal assistants in 2003, long before Siri, Alexa or Cortana were household names.
This early work paved the way for the automation and formal reasoning that we see in computers today, including decision support systems and smart search systems that can be designed to complement and augment human abilities. (sas.com)
Why it matters?
AI is a fundamental re-think at the heart of the technology industry. Rather than writing endless lines of ever complex rules, we can now produce code that writes these rules for us. It will allow us to take on previously unsolvable problems and reconsider previously addressed issues with greater effectiveness. The use of artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming more relevant and accessible to SMEs.
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is a vast field and far from being isolated from IT, it embraces many other disciplines such as philosophy, neuroscience and psychology. However, it is important to bear in mind that, instead of simply trying to understand intelligence, artificial intelligence professionals also seek to build or create it. The uses and applications of AI are many and varied, and although many think of humanoid robots when they discuss AI, you may be surprised to learn that we already comply with AI applied in our daily lives.
Artificial intelligence is full of big questions: what does an entity think (biological or mechanical)? How does a problem understand or solve this? Can a machine really be smart? What is intelligence? The answer to these questions may not be easy, but there is an answer that is seen in the mirror so that we know that the search for knowledge is feasible.
Through this series of articles, I will explore the many approaches, subdomains, applications and problems we face as we explore this vast and exciting area of research.
