What is Artificial Intelligence?

According to Techopedia, Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. It has become an essential part of the technology industry. AI typically refers to the simulation of human intelligence in programmed-like-human machines and imitate human actions. So, usually AI perform actions that are associated with human intelligence such as planning, perception, learning, problem solving and many more.

What is Application of Artificial Intelligence

Nowadays, applications of AI are widely used in many diffrent sectors and industries. The most well known application of AI by our society is robot as. Robot is designed to perform task from a simple one to a complicated one to helping people doing their job.
In Entertainment field, AI are used to recommend user to watch certain movie based on what specific genre of movie the user frequently watch in the past.
In online stores website, AI also used in the same way as in Entertainment, to recommend user what products to buy based on the search key user entered before.
In transportation field, automobile has been introduced. Google’s Driveless car and Tesla’s autopilot have been tested and proved in their ability of self-parking, detecting collision, blind spot monitoring and navigation. Someday, people will be able to summon their car to the location they want.
In healthcare industry, Artificial Intelligence is also performing a lot of important work. It is used by doctors in assisting with the diagnosis and treatment procedures which reduces the cost of using for multiple machines and equipment

How do Artificial Intelligence Works?

AI works and learn by combining large amounts of data with fast, repititive processing and advanced algorithms to recognize patterns or features in the data. AI also include:

• Machine learning automates analytical model building. It uses methods from neural networks, statistics, operations research and physics to find hidden insights in data without explicitly being programmed for where to look or what to conclude.
• A neural network is a type of machine learning that is made up of interconnected units (like neurons) that processes information by responding to external inputs, relaying information between each unit.
• Deep learning uses huge neural networks with many layers of processing units, taking advantage of advances in computing power and improved training techniques to learn complex patterns in large amounts of data. Common applications include image and speech recognition.
• Computer vision use the technique of pattern recognition and deep learning to recognize what’s in a picture or video.
• Natural language processing (NLP) is the ability of AI to analyze, understand and generate human language, including speech.

Why is artificial intelligence important?

• From data the AI recieved, AI through progressive learning alogrithms will find structures and algorithms in data so that the algorithms acquires a new skill. Besides, AI analyzes more and deeper data. AI learn directly from data. The more data where AI learn, the model will be more accurate. The most important thing in AI to develop their algorithm is through data. In other words, data in AI is the same as experience for humans.
• AI can add new skill to their product. AI usually dont stand as individual product, but usually developed as a part of a product. Development of AI will result in new feature for their product.
