Applications of AI
Smart Home Automation
Artificial intelligence powers everything from refrigerators to door locks, making our homes more convenient and secure.
Medical Surgery
AI-assisted surgery offers better precision, fewer complications, and faster recovery times by allowing machines to assist in medical procedures.
E-commerce Customer Service
AI-powered chatbots are helping businesses engage with customers, provide quick assistance, and enhance user experience.
Automated Driving
AI is transforming the automotive industry by making automated driving possible, paving the way for safer and more efficient transportation.
Types of AI
Reactive Machines
Machine recognizes patterns and responds to situations. For example, IBM’s Deep Blue playing chess.
Theory of Mind
The AI is capable enough to understand other’s emotional states, beliefs, and intentions. Currently, the technology is in development.
Limited Memory
AI that can learn from the observable history and interactions with the environment. A selfdriving car is an example.
Self-Aware
The most advanced form of AI that can mimic humans by understanding emotions and reflecting on its own experience.
How AI Learns and Evolves
Unsupervised Learning
The system tries to identify patterns in the data with no training and prior knowledge.
Supervised Learning
The model is provided with labelled data to train and learn from examples.
Reinforcement Learning
The model learns by trial and error and gains efficiency through learning from rewards and feedback.
