Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines. It is about designing machines that can think. Researchers also aim at introducing an emotional aspect into them. How will it affect our lives? Read this article for an overview of the Advantages of Artificial Intelligence..
What is Artificial Intelligence actually?
In the last few years, Artificial intelligence evolved from a
science-fiction dream to an internal part of our lifestyle. we use AI
systems to interact with our phones through Siri and Alexa.
From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons.
Artificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI (or weak AI), in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car). However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create general AI (AGI or strong AI). While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task.
The Top Myths About Advanced Artificial Intelligence
A captivating conversation is taking place about the future of
artificial intelligence and what it will/should mean for humanity. There
are fascinating controversies where the world’s leading experts
disagree, such as: AI’s future impact on the job market; if/when
human-level AI will be developed; whether this will lead to an
intelligence explosion; and whether this is something we should
welcome or fear.
