Definition of AI:-
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems of performing
tasks that require human intelligence. AI aids, in processing amounts of data identifying
patterns and making decisions based on the collected information. This can be achieved
through techniques like Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision
and Robotics. AI encompasses a range of abilities including learning, reasoning, perception,
problem solving, data analysis and language comprehension. The ultimate goal of AI is to
create machines that can emulate capabilities and carry out diverse tasks, with enhanced
efficiency and precision. The field of AI holds potential to revolutionize aspects of our
daily lives.

The term artificial intelligence was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 when he held the
first academic conference on the subject. But the journey to understand if machines can truly
think began much before that. In Vannevar Bush’s seminal work As We May Think [Bush45]
he proposed a system which amplifies people’s own knowledge and understanding. Five
years later Alan Turing wrote a paper on the notion of machines being able to simulate
human beings and the ability to do intelligent things, such as play Chess.

Examples of AI:-

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly integrated into various aspects of our
lives, revolutionizing industries and impacting daily routines. Here are some examples
illustrating the diverse applications of AI:
1. Virtual Personal Assistants: Popular examples like Siri, Google Assistant, and
Amazon Alexa utilize AI to understand and respond to user commands. These assistants
employ natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to improve
their accuracy and provide more personalized responses over time.
2. Autonomous Vehicles: AI powers the development of self-driving cars, trucks, and
drones. Companies like Tesla, Waymo, and Uber are at the forefront of this technology,
using AI algorithms to analyze sensory data from cameras, radar, and lidar to make real-
time driving decisions.
3. Healthcare Diagnosis and Treatment: AI algorithms are used to analyze medical data,
including patient records, imaging scans, and genetic information, to assist healthcare
professionals in diagnosing diseases and planning treatments. IBM's Watson for Health
and Google's DeepMind are examples of AI platforms employed in healthcare.
4. Recommendation Systems: Online platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and Spotify utilize
AI to analyze user behaviour and preferences, providing personalized recommendations
for movies, products, and music. These systems employ collaborative filtering and
content-based filtering techniques to enhance user experience and increase engagement.
5. Fraud Detection: AI algorithms are employed by financial institutions to detect
fraudulent activities in real-time. These systems analyze.
AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries and fields, such as healthcare, finance,
transportation, and education. However, it also raises important ethical and societal
questions, such as the impact on employment and privacy, and the responsible development
and use of AI technology.

Importance of AI
Today, the amount of data in the world is so humongous that humans fall short of
absorbing, interpreting, and making decisions of the entire data. This complex decision-
making requires higher cognitive skills than human beings. This is why we’re trying to
build machines better than us, in these task. Another major characteristic that AI machines
possess but we don’t is repetitive learning. Let consider an example of how Artificial
Intelligence is important to us. Data that is fed into the machines could be real-life
incidents. How people interact, behave and react ? etc. So, in other words, machines
learn to think like humans, by observing and learning from humans. That’s precisely what
is called Machine Learning which is a subfield of AI. Humans are observed to find
repetitive tasks highly boring. Accuracy is another factor in which we humans lack.
Machines have extremely high accuracy in the tasks that they perform. Machines can also
take risks instead of human beings. AI is used in various fields like:
 Health Care
 Retail
 Manufacturing
 Banking etc.
Types of AI
AI can be broadly classified into two major categories:
Based on Capabilities:
Narrow AI: Narrow AI, also known as Weak AI, refers to artificial intelligence
systems that are designed and trained to perform a specific task or a narrow range of
tasks. These systems excel at their designated tasks but lack the broad cognitive
abilities and understanding of human intelligence. Narrow AI is the most common
form of AI currently in use and has found widespread application across various
industries and domains.
HISTORY of AI:-
Birth of AI: 1950-1956

This range of time was when the interest in AI really came to a head. Alan Turing published
his work “Computer Machinery and Intelligence” which eventually became The Turing Test,
which experts used to measure computer intelligence. The term “artificial intelligence” was
coined and came into popular use.

Dates of note:

 1950: Alan Turing published “Computer Machinery and Intelligence” which

proposed a test of machine intelligence called The Imitation Game.
 1952: A computer scientist named Arthur Samuel developed a program to play
checkers, which is the first to ever learn the game independently.
 1955: John McCarthy held a workshop at Dartmouth on “artificial intelligence” which
is the first use of the word, and how it came into popular usage.
AI maturation: 1957-1979

The time between when the phrase “artificial intelligence” was created, and the 1980s was a
period of both rapid growth and struggle for AI research. The late 1950s through the 1960s
was a time of creation. From programming languages that are still in use to this day to books
and films that explored the idea of robots, AI became a mainstream idea quickly.

The 1970s showed similar improvements, such as the first anthropomorphic robot being built
in Japan, to the first example of an autonomous vehicle being built by an engineering grad
student. However, it was also a time of struggle for AI research, as the U.S. government
showed little interest in continuing to fund AI research.

Notable dates include:

 1958: John McCarthy created LISP (acronym for List Processing), the first
programming language for AI research, which is still in popular use to this day.
 1959: Arthur Samuel created the term “machine learning” when doing a speech about
teaching machines to play chess better than the humans who programmed them.
 1961: The first industrial robot Unimate started working on an assembly line at
General Motors in New Jersey, tasked with transporting die casings and welding parts
on cars (which was deemed too dangerous for humans).
 1965: Edward Feigenbaum and Joshua Lederberg created the first “expert
system” which was a form of AI programmed to replicate the thinking and decision-
making abilities of human experts.
 1966: Joseph Weizenbaum created the first “chatterbot” (later shortened to
chatbot), ELIZA, a mock psychotherapist, that used natural language processing
(NLP) to converse with humans.1968: Soviet mathematician Alexey Ivakhnenko
published “Group Method of Data Handling” in the journal “Avtomatika,” which
proposed a new approach to AI that would later become what we now know as “Deep
Learning.”
 1973: An applied mathematician named James Lighthill gave a report to the British
Science Council, underlining that strides were not as impressive as those that had
been promised by scientists, which led to much-reduced support and funding for AI
research from the British government.
 1979: James L. Adams created The Standford Cart in 1961, which became one of the
first examples of an autonomous vehicle. In ‘79, it successfully navigated a room full
of chairs without human interference.
 1979: The American Association of Artificial Intelligence which is now known as
the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) was founded.
AI boom: 1980-1987

Most of the 1980s showed a period of rapid growth and interest in AI, now labeled as the “AI
boom.” This came from both breakthroughs in research, and additional government funding
to support the researchers. Deep Learning techniques and the use of Expert System became
more popular, both of which allowed computers to learn from their mistakes and make
independent decisions.

Notable dates in this time period include:

 1980: First conference of the AAAI was held at Stanford.

 1980: The first expert system came into the commercial market, known as XCON
(expert configurer). It was designed to assist in the ordering of computer systems by
automatically picking components based on the customer’s needs.
 1981: The Japanese government allocated $850 million (over $2 billion dollars in
today’s money) to the Fifth Generation Computer project. Their aim was to create
computers that could translate, converse in human language, and express reasoning on
a human level.
 1984: The AAAI warns of an incoming “AI Winter” where funding and interest
would decrease, and make research significantly more difficult.
 1985: An autonomous drawing program known as AARON is demonstrated at the
AAAI conference.
 1986: Ernst Dickmann and his team at Bundeswehr University of Munich created and
demonstrated the first driverless car (or robot car). It could drive up to 55 mph on
roads that didn’t have other obstacles or human drivers.
 1987: Commercial launch of Alacrity by Alactrious Inc. Alacrity was the first strategy
managerial advisory system, and used a complex expert system with 3,000+ rules.
AI winter: 1987-1993

As the AAAI warned, an AI Winter came. The term describes a period of low consumer,
public, and private interest in AI which leads to decreased research funding, which, in turn,
leads to few breakthroughs. Both private investors and the government lost interest in AI and
halted their funding due to high cost versus seemingly low return. This AI Winter came about
because of some setbacks in the machine market and expert systems, including the end of the
Fifth Generation project, cutbacks in strategic computing initiatives, and a slowdown in the
deployment of expert systems.

Notable dates include:

 1987: The market for specialized LISP-based hardware collapsed due to cheaper and
more accessible competitors that could run LISP software, including those offered by
IBM and Apple. This caused many specialized LISP companies to fail as the
technology was now easily accessible.
 1988: A computer programmer named Rollo Carpenter invented the chatbot
Jabberwacky, which he programmed to provide interesting and entertaining
conversation to humans.
AI agents: 1993-2011

Despite the lack of funding during the AI Winter, the early 90s showed some impressive
strides forward in AI research, including the introduction of the first AI system that could
beat a reigning world champion chess player. This era also saw early examples of AI
agents in research settings, as well as the introduction of AI into everyday life via innovations
such as the first Roomba and the first commercially-available speech recognition software on
Windows computers.

The surge in interest was followed by a surge in funding for research, which allowed even
more progress to be made.

Notable dates include:

 1997: Deep Blue (developed by IBM) beat the world chess champion, Gary
Kasparov, in a highly-publicized match, becoming the first program to beat a human
chess champion.
 1997: Windows released a speech recognition software (developed by Dragon
Systems).
 2000: Professor Cynthia Breazeal developed the first robot that could simulate human
emotions with its face,which included eyes, eyebrows, ears, and a mouth. It was
called Kismet.
 2002: The first Roomba was released.
 2003: Nasa landed two rovers onto Mars (Spirit and Opportunity) and they navigated
the surface of the planet without human intervention.
 2006: Companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and Netflix started utilizing AI as a part
of their advertising and user experience (UX) algorithms.
 2010: Microsoft launched the Xbox 360 Kinect, the first gaming hardware designed
to track body movement and translate it into gaming directions.
 2011: An NLP computer programmed to answer questions named Watson (created by
IBM) won Jeopardy against two former champions in a televised game.
 2011: Apple released Siri, the first popular virtual assistant.
Artificial General Intelligence: 2012-present

That brings us to the most recent developments in AI, up to the present day. We’ve seen a
surge in common-use AI tools, such as virtual assistants, search engines, etc. This time period
also popularized Deep Learning and Big Data..

Notable dates include:

 2012: Two researchers from Google (Jeff Dean and Andrew Ng) trained a neural
network to recognize cats by showing it unlabeled images and no background
information.
 2015: Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Steve Wozniak (and over 3,000 others)
signed an open letter to the worlds’ government systems banning the development of
(and later, use of) autonomous weapons for purposes of war.
  2016: Hanson Robotics created a humanoid robot named Sophia, who became known
as the first “robot citizen” and was the first robot created with a realistic human
appearance and the ability to see and replicate emotions, as well as to communicate.
 2017: Facebook programmed two AI chatbots to converse and learn how to negotiate,
but as they went back and forth they ended up forgoing English and developing their
own language, completely autonomously.
 2018: A Chinese tech group called Alibaba’s language-processing AI beat human
intellect on a Stanford reading and comprehension test.
 2019: Google’s AlphaStar reached Grandmaster on the video game StarCraft 2,
outperforming all but .2% of human players.
 2020: OpenAI started beta testing GPT-3, a model that uses Deep Learning to create
code, poetry, and other such language and writing tasks. While not the first of its kind,
it is the first that creates content almost indistinguishable from those created by
humans.
 2021: OpenAI developed DALL-E, which can process and understand images enough
to produce accurate captions, moving AI one step closer to understanding the visual
world.



Intelligent systems in artificial intelligence (AI) represent a broad class of systems equipped
with algorithms that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These systems
span various domains from robotics to data analysis, playing a pivotal role in driving
innovation across industries. Here, we delve into the essence of intelligent systems, their core
components, applications, and the future trajectory of this transformative technology.
Understanding Intelligence
The notion of intelligence used in reference to both men and machines entails the capacity to
acquire knowledge, perceive and comprehend information, deduce, rectify problems, educate
oneself, and take charge of a new situation. In AI, "intelligence" is not merely the capacity to
process data but more of making good or profound insights and decisions to their
information.
Components of Intelligence
The components of intelligence, as understood in the context of psychology and cognitive
science, are the fundamental elements that collectively define and influence the capabilities
and performance of human intelligence.
Here are the primary components:
1. Reasoning: Reasoning involves drawing conclusions from evidence or arguments. It
includes inductive reasoning, which builds general conclusions from specific examples,
and deductive reasoning, which applies general principles to specific cases.
2. Learning: Learning is the process by which we acquire new information or modify
existing knowledge, skills, and behaviors. It can occur through direct experience,
observation, or instruction, and is fundamental to adapting to new situations.
3. Perception: Perception is the cognitive process of interpreting and organizing sensory
information to understand the environment. It allows us to take in sensory data through
our sense organs and make sense of the world around us.
4. Linguistic Intelligence: Linguistic intelligence refers to the capability to use language—
both written and spoken—effectively. People with high linguistic intelligence are skilled
at reading, writing, telling stories, and memorizing words.
5. Problem Solving: Problem solving is the ability to process information and find solutions
to complex or challenging situations. It involves identifying the problem, generating
potential solutions, and implementing the best solution effectively.
What are Intelligent System?
An intelligent system in AI is a technology equipped with the capability to gather data,
process it, and make decisions or perform actions based on that data. At its core, an
intelligent system mimics the cognitive functions of human beings, such as learning from
experience, understanding complex concepts, solving problems, and making decisions.
Reasoning in Intelligent Systems
Intellection is a dependable attribute of intelligence, which is not possible without the
systems' ability to make inferences based on available data. There are several types of
reasoning used in AI:
1. Deductive Reasoning: Exploiting a particular result after taking into account or issuing
general principles or premises. One way is to look at the assertions as individual ones. For
example, if all humans are mortal, and Socrates is a human, then Socrates is mortal.
2. Inductive Reasoning: One approach to prediction is to have an idea on the specific
condition and then make the general inferences. For instance, the recurring act of sun
rising every morning and forecasting the idea of the sun rising tomorrow.
3. Abductive Reasoning: Infare of the most probable pair for a documentation. Such as, if
the ground is wet, on may understand that rains did occur lately.
Learning in Intelligent Systems
In intelligent systems, learning is pivotal for adapting to new environments and improving
decision-making. Here’s a brief overview of common learning paradigms:
1. Supervised Learning: Involves training a model on a dataset that includes both inputs
and expected outputs, enabling the system to predict outcomes based on past data.
Common applications include facial recognition and spam filtering.
2. Unsupervised Learning: Focuses on identifying patterns and structures in data without
predefined labels. It's used for clustering and anomaly detection, such as in market
segmentation or fraud detection.
3. Reinforcement Learning: Employs a system of rewards and penalties to foster
environment-specific decision-making. This method is vital in robotics and complex
game systems where the AI must adapt strategies based on dynamic conditions.
4. Deep Learning: Utilizes neural networks with multiple layers to analyze large volumes
of data, enhancing capabilities in image and speech recognition technologies.
5. Transfer Learning: Applies knowledge acquired from one task to different but related
problems, enhancing efficiency and adaptability across various applications with minimal
additional training.
Perception in Intelligent Systems
Being able to perceive means that intelligent systems are able to give sense to the data
received via their overwhelming number of senses and comprehend their surroundings. This
includes:
1. Computer Vision: The capacity of being able to take in and interpret images and
consequently sift and classify different objects, facial details, and scenes.
2. Speech Recognition: The possibility that a machine can transcribe language into text and
give a machine the capability to and how he or she should respond to human speech.
3. Sensor Integration: Employing a sensor with multiple point of view helps to integrate
different outputs, thereby leading more in-depth data. Cameras, microphones, and touch
sensors contribute to the creation of a method for determining the surrounding
circumstances.
Linguistic Intelligence in Intelligent Systems
Linguistic intelligence (AI) includes the capability to grasp, decipher and produce language
that a human being can understand. This is primarily achieved through Natural Language
Processing (NLP), which encompasses:
1. Text Analysis: Use of NLP in doing main text analysis such as sentiment analysis and
topic modeling.
2. Machine Translation: Tend to propose a solution that is done by a machine system when
it tries to translate text from one language to another like Google Translate.
3. Dialogue Systems: Bringing up language conversational agents or chatbots that can have
interaction with humans using natural language, such as virtual assistants like Siri and
Alexa.

Problem Solving in Intelligent Systems

Intelligent systems perform problem-solving for the sake of it. The first cognitive function is
the recognition of a problem, devising a plan, and executing it in order to find a solution.
Techniques used include:
1. Search Algorithms: Explore techniques for example, depth-first search, breadth-first
search, and A* algorithms, which are used to criss-cross the possible solutions, in order to
find the optimal solution.
2. Heuristics: Generally, these heuristics give methodology of the process some boundary
which is key to such problems.
3. Optimization Techniques: Methods functioning as genetic algorithms and simulated
annealing to optimize the search through most of the available possibilities.
Core Components of Intelligent Systems
Intelligent systems integrate various components of AI technology, including machine
learning algorithms, natural language processing, robotics, and expert systems, among others:
1. Machine Learning (ML)
Machine learning algorithms allow systems to learn from data patterns and improve their
decision-making over time without being explicitly programmed. ML models are used in
applications ranging from predictive analytics in business to diagnostic systems in healthcare.
2. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
NLP enables a system to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a way that is
both meaningful and useful. This component is crucial in applications like chatbots, voice-
operated GPS systems, and customer service AI agents.
3. Robotics
Robotics combines AI techniques with mechanical engineering to create robots capable of
performing tasks that require human-like dexterity and decision-making. These are often
employed in manufacturing, where they work alongside human operators to enhance
productivity and safety.
4. Expert Systems
Expert systems use rule-based algorithms to emulate the decision-making ability of a human
expert. In fields like law and medicine, they provide critical insights based on a set of rules
derived from the knowledge of experts.
