Artificial Intelligence

**Artificial Intelligence**(AI) is an approach to make a computer, a robot, or a product to think how smart humans think. AI is a study of how the human brain thinks, learns, decides and works, when it tries to solve problems. And finally this study outputs intelligent software systems. The aim of AI is to improve computer functions which are related to human knowledge, for example, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving.

The term Artificial Intelligence(AI) is coined by an American Scientist, **John McCarthy** in 1955.

The objectives of AI research are reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, realization, and ability to move and manipulate objects. There are long-term goals in the general intelligence sector.

<H4> Definations of AI </H4>
The definations of AI are categorised in four ways:
1. Systems that think like humans.
2. Systems that act like humans.
3. Systems that think rationally. 
4. Systems that act rationally.

<h4> Advantages of AI </h4>
<li>**Reduction in human error**
<p>The phrase “human error” was born because humans make mistakes from time to time. Computers, however, do not make these mistakes if they are programmed properly.</p>
<li>**Available 24 x 7**
<p>An Average human will work for 4–6 hours a day excluding the breaks.But using AI we can make machines work 24x7 without any
breaks and they don’t even get bored, unlike humans.</p>
<li><b>Helping in Repetitive Jobs
<p>In our day-to-day work, we will be performing many repetitive works like sending a thank you mail, verifying certain documents for errors and many more things. Using artificial intelligence we can productively automate these mundane tasks and can even remove boring tasks for humans and free them increasingly creative.</p>
<li><b>Digital Assistance
<p>Some of the highly advanced organizations use digital assistants to interact with
users which saves the need for human resources. The digital assistants are also used
in many websites to provide things that users want. We can chat with them about
what we want. Some chatbots are designed in such a way that it’s 
hard to determine that we’re chatting with a chatbot or a human being.</p>
<li><b>Take risk job instead of humans
<p>This is one of the biggest advantages of Artificial intelligence. Humans can overcome
many risky jobs by developing an AI Robot which in turn can do the risky things. For example: going to mars, defuse a bomb, explore the deepest parts
of oceans, mining for coal and oil, it can be used effectively in any kind of natural or
man-made disasters.</p>
<li><b>Faster Decisons
<p>Using AI alongside other technologies we can make machines take decisions
faster than a human and carry out actions quicker. While taking a decision humans
will analyze many factors both emotionally and practically but an AI-powered
machine works on what it is programmed and delivers the results in a faster way.</p>
<h4> Disadvantages of AI </H4>
<li><b>High Costs
<p>As AI is updating every day the hardware and software need to get updated
with time to meet the latest requirements. Machines need repairing and maintenance
which need plenty of costs. Its creation requires huge costs as they are very complex
machines.</p>
<li><b>Making Humans Lazy
<p>AI is making humans lazy with its applications automating the majority of the
work. Humans tend to get addicted to these inventions which can cause a problem to
future generations.</p>
<li><b>Unemployment
<p>As AI is replacing the majority of the repetitive tasks and other work with
robots, human interference is becoming less which will cause a major problem in the
employment standards</p>
<li><b>No emotions
<p>The machines are much better when it comes to working
efficiently but they cannot replace the human connection that makes the team.
Machines cannot develop a bond with humans. </p>
<li><b>Lacking out of box thinking
<p>Machines can perform only those tasks which they are designed or
programmed to do, anything out of that they tend to crash or give irrelevant outputs
which could be a major backdrop.</p>

<p><b>Artificial intelligence has dramatically changed the business landscape. It is not just the human-like capabilities that make artificial intelligence unique. AI has impacted various fields.</i>The various Application domains of AI are: </p>

<h4> Applications of AI</H4>
<li>  <b>Marketing
<p>With the growing advancement in AI, in the near future, it may be possible for
consumers on the web to buy products by snapping a photo of it.</p>
<li>  <b>Banking
<p>AI in banking is growing faster .A lot of banks have already
adopted AI-based systems to provide customer support, detect anomalies and credit
card frauds. </p>
<li>  <b>Finance
<p>In the age of ultra-high-frequency trading, financial organizations are turning to
AI to improve their stock trading performance and boost profit.</p>
<li>  <b>Agriculture
<p>AI can help
farmers get more from the land while using resources more sustainably.
Issues such as climate change, population growth, and food security concerns
have pushed the industry into seeking more innovative approaches to improve crop
yield.
Organizations are using automation and robotics to help farmers find more
efficient ways to protect their crops from weeds.</p>
<li>  <b>HealthCare
<p>When it comes to saving our lives, a lot of organizations and medical care
centers are relying on AI. There are many examples of how AI in healthcare has
helped patients all over the world.</p>
<li>  <b>Gaming
<p>Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of
the gaming industry. In fact, one of the biggest accomplishments of AI is in the gaming
industry.
</p>
<li>  <b>Space Exploration
<p> Space expeditions and discoveries always require analyzing vast amounts of data. Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning is the best way to handle and process data
on this scale.</p>
<li>  <b>Autonomous Vehicles
<p>For the longest time, self-driving cars have been a buzzword in the AI industry.The developments of autonomous vehicles will definitely revolutionaries the transport system.</p>
<li>  <b>Chatbots
<p>These days Virtual assistants have become a very common technology. Almost every household has a virtual assistant that controls the appliances at home. A few examples include Siri, Cortana, which are gaining popularity because of the user
experience they provide.
