What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is a wide- range branch of computer science, it deals with making smart machines that are capable of performing smart tasks that mimic human intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence process by machines.

Artificial intelligence is built with the aim to mimic the human brain and its learning process, it's often referred to or used to describe machines or computers that mimic "cognitive" functions that are associated with the human mind.

Though artificial intelligence study was founded in the 1950's due to slow growth and funding in the research also known as (AI winter). As we are seeing that AI is gaining prominent ground in the era we live today. Let's dive into the topic to understand what Actually AI is and how it can help in the betterment of human civilization.

Let's understand AI better by knowing how it works. AI works by mimicking the human brain, it largely focus on things like Learning, reasoning, Correction.AI programming focuses on acquring data and and making rules to turn the information into actions.  These rules are called algorithms, providing step-by-step instructions for the work to be performed.

The AI continuously reasons wether which algorithm will be best for performing a specific task. Another important functions of AI is how it self-corrects and analyze the algorithms and fine-tune it to provide better service.AI has become so popular that many companies are trying to incorporate it into their product.

AI is mostly around us today, normally we use AI at a small level in our daily life too. One part of AI known as Narrow AI or weak AI is also very popular it operates with limited context and is a simulation of human context. Norow AI  is often focused on performing a single task extremely well and while they might seem very intelligent, they operate under constraint and limitations then the human brain performs.

Some examples of Artificial Intelligence includes:

1)Smart assistants like Alexa, Siri, Cortana, etc.
2)Manufacturing and drone robots.
3)Conversations bots for products services.
4)Spam filters on email.
5)Social media monitoring tools for content and false news.

Let's know about some fancy terms that we might have heard about Artificial Intelligence?

Machine Learning: "Machine learning is the science of gettings computers to act without being explecitly programmed"- Stanford University. It is a subset of AI it uses algorithms to enable machines to learn and improve with experiance. These programs and algorithms are designed so as they might learn and improve over time when exposed to new data.

Deep learning: It is a sub-field of machine learning concerned with algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the brain called artificial neural networks. It's a particular kind of machine learning that is inspired by the functionality of brain cells called neurons which lead to the concept of artificial neural networks.

Let's see how Artificial intelligence is helping us humans in improving our lives.
AI has helped us a lot and the recent decade has shown how AI has hepled lead the Healthsector. Researcher's at MIT computer science and Artificial Intelligence lab(CSAIL) and Massachusetts General Hospital(MSH) have created a new deep learning model that can predict from a memogram if a patient is likely to have brest cancer as much as 5 years in the future. 
DeepMind in collabaration with the expets from US Departments of Veterans Affairs(VA), has developed a technology that gives doctors a 48 hour head start in treating acute kidney injury(AKI).The research shows that the AI cloud accurately predict AKI in patients up to 48 hours earlier then its is currently diagonsed.

Well, that's all for now, much about AI in future articles. If you have any queries then you can mail me at phoenixblogs99@gmail.com
