Artificial intelligence (A.I.)


Listen Later

Artificial intelligence refers to computer science and engineering that focuses on the development of intelligent machines or systems that are capable of reasoning, learning, and acting independently.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the nature of almost everything which is connected to human life. However, we are yet to see its evolution in the long term, whether it's leading humanity towards making this planet a better place to live or a place that is full of disaster.

“Is AI the human race’s future?” The reality is that there is no straightforward answer to this question. Some believe that AI will eventually result in a form of human augmentation in which we become smarter, faster, and more efficient as a result of our merger with technology. Others believe that AI will eventually surpass human intelligence, ushering in a world ruled by machines. There is no correct or incorrect response, and it ultimately depends on the individual’s perspective.

With all the hype around Artificial Intelligence - robots, self-driving cars, social media meta-worlds, and virtual realities. - it can be easy to assume that AI doesn’t impact our everyday lives. In reality, most of us encounter Artificial Intelligence in some way or the other almost every single day. From the moment you wake up to check your smartphone to watching another Netflix-recommended movie, AI has quickly made its way into our everyday lives.

AI provides a computer program with the ability to think and learn on its own. It is a simulation of human intelligence (hence, artificial) into machines to do things that we would normally rely on humans. There are three main types of AI based on their capabilities - weak AI, strong AI, and super AI.

  • Weak AI - Focuses on one task and cannot perform beyond its limitations (common in our daily lives)
  • Strong AI - Can understand and learn any intellectual task that a human being can (researchers are striving to reach strong AI)
  • Super AI - Surpasses human intelligence and can perform any task better than a human (still a concept)
