Artificial Intelligence (AI)
¨
AI refers to the ability
of a computer or a computer-controlled robot to perform tasks that are
typically performed by humans because such tasks require human intelligence and
judgment.
¨ However, there is currently no AI system that can perform the wide variety of tasks that a typical human can perform, although some AIs may be able to perform certain specific tasks that humans perform.
Features and Components
¨
Deep Learning (DL)
technology enables automatic learning through large amounts of unstructured
data such as text, images, or videos.
¨
The ideal characteristic
of artificial intelligence is its ability to take rational action in which a
specific goal is achieved. Machine Learning (ML) is a type of AI.
