What is Artificial Intelligence? Explanation to: elementary school students, professionals and scientists
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we live and work , so today I invite you to learn more about this topic by approaching it from three different and increasingly complex segments.
Broadly speaking, we can refer to AI as the simulation of human intelligence by machines . In other words, a discipline that tries to create systems capable of learning and reasoning like people .
Importantly, Artificial Intelligence is the most debated technology of the 21st century . Today it is widely used to solve complex problems and facilitate human tasks.
Do you still have doubts about what artificial intelligence is? So join me in developing the following segments.
Imagine a machine that organizes your closet the way you like it , or that serves refreshments to your friends during a party . That is, a robot that performs the activities that you do daily. Well, this is precisely what Artificial Intelligence makes possible. Through algorithms and mathematical functions, AI provides machines with intelligence similar to that of a human to perform everyday tasks such as playing soccer with you or even giving you some dance classes
Through Artificial Intelligence, machines can learn, reason and solve problems . Three capabilities that make the robot artificially intelligent.
Artificial intelligence works by combining large amounts of data with fast, iterative processing, as well as intelligent algorithms, which allow software to automatically learn and identify patterns . The goal of AI is to create systems that can function intelligently and independently of human beings AND perform tasks in the professional field for example in the construction of buildings or in factories automated by intelligent robots.
Artificial intelligence has subfields, among which the following stand out:
Natural language processing : it is the ability of computers to analyze, understand and generate human language, including speech. Some products in this area are Amazon Alexa, Google voice
To develop this segment I am going to focus on the fact that Artificial Intelligence allows creating machines that can solve problems as people do . The interesting thing here is to compare them with humans and understand how they interact with them. To do this, the following points must be taken into account:
It is worth mentioning that there are currently 4 types of Artificial Intelligence , according to Professor Arend Hintze :
Purely reactive: they do not have the ability to form memories , therefore they cannot use their experience in decision making. These are machines that make predictions based on parameters.
