What is AI? An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

what is AI anyway artificial intelligence or AI can be broadly defined as the simulation of human intelligence by machines there are of course varying degrees of sophistication in so-called AI enabled machines processes or services but almost all businesses employ some type of AI dig deeper on AI in the Enterprise and business use cases by clicking the link above or in the description below and be sure to subscribe for more videos on all things business Tech AI can be thought of as an umbrella t

erm comprised of other Technologies like machine learning deep learning and natural language processing to name a few in general AI systems work by ingesting large amounts of data analyzing the data for correlations and patterns and using these patterns to make predictions the human element comes from incorporating key cognitive elements into AI programming learning reasoning self-correction and creativity not all AI is created or programmed equally though AI can be either weak or strong a weak

AI system or narrow AI is designed for a particular task but can't operate without human interaction take for instance how Alexa Siri chat GPT and Bard respond to specific user prompts even self-driving cars which can pilot a vehicle stay in a lane and avoid unexpected obstacles are considered weak AI strong AI has generalized human cognitive abilities meaning it can solve tasks without human intervention in theory a strong AI program should be able to pass both a turning test and the Chinese ro

om argument there is not yet a real world application of strong ai ai can be broken down even further into four types reactive machines which are the earliest for forms of AI that have no memory limited memory machines which can use past experiences to inform future decisions this is where most AI we reference today lands theory of Mind AI which can understand emotions and intentions and finally self-aware AI or systems that have Consciousness there are no examples of this kind of AI yet the pop

ularization of generative AI specifically put AI in the spotlight as far as business decision-making is concerned conned while AI can excel at detail oriented repetitive data heavy tasks and free workers from more complex or creative tasks it has its drawbacks it can be expensive to run AI models it requires deep technical knowledge and raises ethical concerns around perpetuating bias and discrimination despite these risks there aren't many regulations governing the use of AI tools for one the t

echnology behind Ai and generative AI is evolving fast faster than the law or even this video can keep up with second companies are using AI for different things so it's hard to make blanket legislation around its use and third the transparency of AI algorithms or lack thereof makes it difficult to explain how AI reaches its results experts anticipate that AI will only improve products and performance and eventually the distinction between human intelligence and artificial intelligence will blur

and then evaporate all together how do you think AI impacts our ability to work and learn does it help or hurt us share your thoughts in the comments and remember to like And subscribe too
