Program Plan Intro

Artificial Intelligence:

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

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

Components of Artificial Intelligence:

The six key components of AI are as follows:

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