The idea of new technologies such as AI, Deep and machine learning, sensing cities, artificial embryos, and more might sound scary to a lot of people. Many fears the rise of the machines like in “Terminator” and believe that this new wave of technology is the beginning of the end for the human-race, but that’s now what’s going to happen. These new technologies are going to change our society in a dramatic way, and will allow us to do things that we believed were only possible in science-fiction movies. Throughout this essay I’ll discussed the importance of AI and how it’s changing the world around us and the way we use and see computers.
AI or artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers. So, basically AI is a human computer which has the ability to do many things from self-driving cars, to helping doctors find the right treatment for patients. There are many different types of AI, but two main ways to classify them. Type 1 are either weak/narrow AI which only focuses on one simple task like playing a game of chess against a human, which is the opposite of a strong AI which can perform tasks like a human being. Type 2 are classified by their functionalities, like reactive machines, limited memory which are used in self-driving cars, and self-awareness which has its own conscious, intelligence, and is self-aware almost like a human-being. AI gains its intelligence through a process called machine-learning where the system is feed millions of images and it learns how to tell different things apart like what’s a cat and a dog and how they’re different from each other.
