Artificial Intelligence

By: Groups 19 & 20

What is A.I.

• A.I. is a broad discipline that promises to simulate numerous human skills such as automatic programming, case-based reasoning, neural networks, decision-making, expert systems, natural language processing, pattern recognition and speech recognition etc.

• In other words:

– It does rudimentary stuff that we do not want to do or already do, faster and better.

How does A.I. work?

• First, the A.I. robot, computer or agent gathers facts about a situation through sensors or human input.

• The computer compares this information to stored data and decides what the information signifies

• The computer runs through various possible actions and predicts which action will be most successful based on the collected information

• Only able to solve problems that have been programmed http://science.howstuffworks.com/

Emergence of A.I.

• Used in business application since early 1980’s, initially did not live up to hype.

• Within the last decade, interest has picked up significantly due to the advent of web-enabled infrastructure and great strides made by the A.I. development community.

Uses in the Business world• Stock analysis/selection• Companies like Brighterion, use A.I. to prevent fraud

in transaction environments such as finance, e-commerce, telecommunications and insurance.

• Retailers use A.I. to predict customer behavior and predict trends

Real World Examples

• Medicine

• Video Games

• Driving cars

• Military

• Facial RecognitionSoftware

Current Obstacles

• Ability of A.I. to have human-like thought process

• Domestic use of a human-like robot is a long way off.

• Size and Temperature control of some A.I. systems

A.I. in the Future• By 2025, robots could potentially replace

humans in almost all manufacturing jobs

• By 2050 robot "brains" based on computers that execute 100 trillion instructions per second could start rivaling human intelligence
