Technical Basics of
Algorithms and Artificial
Intelligence
What is AI?
• Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is a branch of computer science
and engineering that focuses on developing devices and
programmes that are capable of carrying out operations that
ordinarily call for human intellect, such as comprehending
natural language, identifying objects, and forming
judgements.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) is defined as the simulation of
human intelligence by software-coded heuristics. Nowadays
this code is prevalent in everything from cloud-based,
enterprise applications to consumer apps and even
embedded firmware.
What is AI?
• Depending on the situation, several interpretations of AI’s
significance can be made. The capacity of computers to
display intelligent behaviour, such as learning, thinking,
and problem-solving, is at the heart of Artificial
Intelligence (AI). Yet, the technology or environment in
which AI is utilised can also have an impact on what it
means.
• Artificial Intelligence, for instance, pertains to a machine’s
capacity to comprehend and produce human language in
the context of natural language processing. Artificial
Intelligence (AI) can also refer to a machine’s capacity to
comprehend and engage with the physical environment.

Artificial Intelligence: Characteristics

Artificial Intelligence: Characteristics
• The goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which an interdisciplinary study, is to develop intelligent
computers that can carry out activities that ordinarily require human intelligence. AI aims to
create robots that can reason, learn, and understand like humans, and that are able to solve
challenging issues and adapt to evolving circumstances.
• The ideal characteristic of artificial intelligence is its ability to rationalize and take actions that
have the best chance of achieving a specific goal. A subset of artificial intelligence is Machine
Learning (ML), which refers to the concept that computer programs can automatically learn from
and adapt to new data without being assisted by humans. Deep learning techniques enable this
automatic learning through the absorption of huge amounts of unstructured data such as text,
images, or video.
• Several sectors, including healthcare, banking, transportation, and entertainment, can benefit
from the use of AI. For instance, AI-powered autonomous cars can increase transportation safety
and efficiency while AI powered medical imaging technologies can assist doctors in providing
more precise diagnoses.
EVOLUTION OF ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
EVOLUTION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
• The idea of “artificial intelligence” goes back thousands of years, to
ancient philosophers considering questions of life and death.
• In ancient times, inventors made things called “automatons” which
were mechanical and moved independently of human intervention.
The word “automaton” comes from ancient Greek and means “acting
of one’s own will.”
• One of the earliest records of an automaton comes from 400 BCE and
refers to a mechanical pigeon created by a friend of the philosopher
Plato. Many years later, one of the most famous automatons was
created by Leonardo da Vinci around the year 1495.
EVOLUTION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
• John McCarthy, the founder of artificial intelligence, provided the original definition of the word in 1955, essentially stating: “The goal of AI is to
develop machines that behave as though they were intelligent”.
• The science of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is expanding quickly, is transforming the manner we operate, live, and interact with the environment.
The creation of computer systems with Artificial Intelligence (AI) is what allows them to do things like understand language, acquire, organize, solve
problems, and make decisions— tasks that would ordinarily need human intellect.
• Although the idea of artificial intelligence has been known since the 1950s, it has only recently gained widespread recognition. AI is currently
employed in a wide range of industries, from voice assistants like ‘Siri’ and ‘Alexa’ to self-driving automobiles and medical diagnosis, owing to
developments in machine learning and deep learning.
• The study of Artificial Intelligence (AI) spans a wide range of technologies and methodologies. Building systems that can acquire information and
adjust to changing conditions is at the heart of artificial intelligence. A mix of algorithms, data processing methods, and numerical simulations are
used to do this.
• The fact that AI is built to be independent is one of its fundamental qualities. This implies that AI can make decisions independently of human input.
However, the autonomy that gives AI its strength also comes with several grave difficulties. It may be difficult to comprehend why such an AI system
committed an error and how to fix it, for instance, if the system makes one.
• The fact that AI is clever by design itself is another important feature. This intelligence may manifest itself in a variety of ways, from the capacity to
spot data trends to the capacity for deliberation and judgement. Although it is the eventual objective of AI, there is still a long way for development of
machines that can replicate human intellect.
• A rapid emerging field among technology is AI that is rapidly evolving with each passing day. The potential of AI systems is always growing as new
methods and algorithms are created. So, a large increase in the number of AI technologies is to be anticipated in the upcoming years.
Groundwork for AI

• 1900-1950In the early 1900s, there was a lot of media created that centered around the idea of artificial
humans. So much so that scientists of all sorts started asking the question: is it possible to create an
artificial brain? Some creators even made some versions of what we now call “robots” (and the word was
coined in a Czech play in 1921) though most of them were relatively simple. These were steam-powered
for the most part, and some could make facial expressions and even walk.
• Dates of note:
• 1921: Czech playwright Karel Čapek released a science fiction play “Rossum’s Universal Robots” which
introduced the idea of “artificial people” which he named robots. This was the first known use of the word.
• 1929: Japanese professor Makoto Nishimura built the first Japanese robot, named Gakutensoku.
• 1949: Computer scientist Edmund Callis Berkley published the book “Giant Brains, or Machines that Think”
which compared the newer models of computers to human brains.
Birth of AI: 1950-195
• This range of time was when the interest in AI really came to a head. Alan Turing
published his work “Computer Machinery and Intelligence” which eventually
became The Turing Test, which experts used to measure computer intelligence.
The term “artificial intelligence” was coined and came into popular use.
• Dates of note:
• 1950: Alan Turing published “Computer Machinery and Intelligence” which
proposed a test of machine intelligence called The Imitation Game.
• 1952: A computer scientist named Arthur Samuel developed a program to play
checkers, which is the first to ever learn the game independently.
• 1955: John McCarthy held a workshop at Dartmouth on “artificial intelligence”
which is the first use of the word, and how it came into popular usage.
AI maturation: 1957-1979
The time between when the phrase “artificial intelligence” was created, and the 1980s was a period of
both rapid growth and struggle for AI research. The late 1950s through the 1960s was a time of
creation. From programming languages that are still in use to this day to books and films that explored
the idea of robots, AI became a mainstream idea quickly.
The 1970s showed similar improvements, such as the first anthropomorphic robot being built in Japan,
to the first example of an autonomous vehicle being built by an engineering grad student. However, it
was also a time of struggle for AI research, as the U.S. government showed little interest in continuing
to fund AI research.
Notable dates include:
1958: John McCarthy created LISP (acronym for List Processing), the first programming language for AI
research, which is still in popular use to this day.
1959: Arthur Samuel created the term “machine learning” when doing a speech about teaching
machines to play chess better than the humans who programmed them.
1961: The first industrial robot Unimate started working on an assembly line at General Motors in New
Jersey, tasked with transporting die casings and welding parts on cars (which was deemed too
dangerous for humans).
1965: Edward Feigenbaum and Joshua Lederberg created the first “expert system” which was a form of
AI programmed to replicate the thinking and decision-making abilities of human experts.
AI maturation: 1957-1979
1966: Joseph Weizenbaum created the first “chatterbot” (later shortened to chatbot), ELIZA, a mock
psychotherapist, that used natural language processing (NLP) to converse with humans.1968: Soviet
mathematician Alexey Ivakhnenko published “Group Method of Data Handling” in the journal
“Avtomatika,” which proposed a new approach to AI that would later become what we now know as
“Deep Learning.”
1973: An applied mathematician named James Lighthill gave a report to the British Science Council,
underlining that strides were not as impressive as those that had been promised by scientists,
which led to much-reduced support and funding for AI research from the British government.
1979: James L. Adams created The Standford Cart in 1961, which became one of the first examples
of an autonomous vehicle. In ‘79, it successfully navigated a room full of chairs without human
interference.
1979: The American Association of Artificial Intelligence which is now known as the Association for
the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) was founded.
 AI Boom: 1980-1987
• Most of the 1980s showed a period of rapid growth and interest in AI, now labeled as the “AI boom.” This came from
both breakthroughs in research, and additional government funding to support the researchers. Deep Learning
techniques and the use of Expert System became more popular, both of which allowed computers to learn from
their mistakes and make independent decisions.
• Notable dates in this time period include:
• 1980: First conference of the AAAI was held at Stanford.
• 1980: The first expert system came into the commercial market, known as XCON (expert configurer). It was designed
to assist in the ordering of computer systems by automatically picking components based on the customer’s needs.
• 1981: The Japanese government allocated $850 million (over $2 billion dollars in today’s money) to the Fifth
Generation Computer Project. Their aim was to create computers that could translate, converse in human language,
and express reasoning on a human level.
• 1984: The AAAI warns of an incoming “AI Winter” where funding and interest would decrease and make research
significantly more difficult.
• 1985: An autonomous drawing program known as AARON is demonstrated at the AAAI conference.
• 1986: Ernst Dickmann and his team at Bundeswehr University of Munich created and demonstrated the first
driverless car (or robot car). It could drive up to 55 mph on roads that didn’t have other obstacles or human drivers.
• 1987: Commercial launch of Alacrity by Alactrious Inc. Alacrity was the first strategy managerial advisory system and
used a complex expert system with 3,000+ rules.
AI Winter: 1987-1993
• As the AAAI warned, an AI Winter came. The term describes a period of low consumer, public,
and private interest in AI which leads to decreased research funding, which, in turn, leads to few
breakthroughs. Both private investors and the government lost interest in AI and halted their
funding due to high cost versus seemingly low return. This AI Winter came about because of some
setbacks in the machine market and expert systems, including the end of the Fifth-Generation
project, cutbacks in strategic computing initiatives, and a slowdown in the deployment of expert
systems.
• Notable dates include:
• 1987: The market for specialized LISP-based hardware collapsed due to cheaper and more
accessible competitors that could run LISP software, including those offered by IBM and Apple.
This caused many specialized LISP companies to fail as the technology was now easily accessible.
• 1988: A computer programmer named Rollo Carpenter invented the chatbot Jabberwacky, which
he programmed to provide interesting and entertaining conversation to humans.
AI agents: 1993-2011
• Despite the lack of funding during the AI Winter, the early 90s showed some impressive strides forward in AI
research, including the introduction of the first AI system that could beat a reigning world champion chess
player. This era also introduced AI into everyday life via innovations such as the first Roomba and the first
commercially-available speech recognition software on Windows computers.
• The surge in interest was followed by a surge in funding for research, which allowed even more progress to
be made.
• Notable dates include:
• 1997: Deep Blue (developed by IBM) beat the world chess champion, Gary Kasparov, in a highly-publicized
match, becoming the first program to beat a human chess champion.
• 1997: Windows released a speech recognition software (developed by Dragon Systems).
• 2000: Professor Cynthia Breazeal developed the first robot that could simulate human emotions with its
face, which included eyes, eyebrows, ears, and a mouth. It was called Kismet.
• 2002: The first Roomba was released.
AI agents: 1993-2011
• 2003: Nasa landed two rovers onto Mars (Spirit and Opportunity) and they navigated the surface of the
planet without human intervention.
• 2006: Companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and Netflix started utilizing AI as a part of their advertising and
user experience (UX) algorithms.
• 2010: Microsoft launched the Xbox 360 Kinect; the first gaming hardware designed to track body movement
and translate it into gaming directions.
• 2011: An NLP computer programmed to answer questions named Watson (created by IBM) won Jeopardy
against two former champions in a televised game.
• 2011: Apple released Siri, the first popular virtual assistant.
 Artificial General Intelligence: 2012-present
• That brings us to the most recent developments in AI, up to the present day. We’ve seen a surge in common-use AI tools,
such as virtual assistants, search engines, etc. This time period also popularized Deep Learning and Big Data..
• Notable dates include:
• 2012: Two researchers from Google (Jeff Dean and Andrew Ng) trained a neural network to recognize cats by showing it
unlabeled images and no background information.
• 2015: Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Steve Wozniak (and over 3,000 others) signed an open letter to the worlds’
government systems banning the development of (and later, use of) autonomous weapons for purposes of war.
• 2016: Hanson Robotics created a humanoid robot named Sophia, who became known as the first “robot citizen” and was the
first robot created with a realistic human appearance and the ability to see and replicate emotions, as well as to
communicate.
• 2017: Facebook programmed two AI chatbots to converse and learn how to negotiate, but as they went back and forth they
ended up forgoing English and developing their own language, completely autonomously.
• 2018: A Chinese tech group called Alibaba’s language-processing AI beat human intellect on a Stanford reading and
comprehension test.
• 2019: Google’s AlphaStar reached Grandmaster on the video game StarCraft 2, outperforming all but .2% of human players.
• 2020: OpenAI started beta testing GPT-3, a model that uses Deep Learning to create code, poetry, and other such language
and writing tasks. While not the first of its kind, it is the first that creates content almost indistinguishable from those created
by humans.
• 2021: OpenAI developed DALL-E, which can process and understand images enough to produce accurate captions, moving AI
one step closer to understanding the visual world.
Types of AI
Types of AI
• Learning in AI can fall under the types “narrow intelligence,” “artificial
general intelligence,” and “super.” These categories demonstrate AI’s
capabilities as it evolves—performing narrowly defined sets of tasks,
simulating thought processes in the human mind, and performing
beyond human capability. There are 4 types of AI
1. Reactive Machines
2. Limited Memory Machines
3. Theory of Mind
4. Self-Awareness
Reactive machines
• Reactive machines are AI systems that have no memory and are task specific, meaning
that an input always delivers the same output. Machine learning models tend to be
reactive machines because they take customer data, such as purchase or search history,
and use it to deliver recommendations to the same customers.
• This type of AI is reactive. It performs “super” AI, because the average human would not
be able to process huge amounts of data such as a customer’s entire Netflix history and
feedback customized recommendations. Reactive AI, for the most part, is reliable and
works well in inventions like self-driving cars. It doesn’t have the ability to predict future
outcomes unless it has been fed the appropriate information.
• Compare this to our human lives, where most of our actions are not reactive because we
don’t have all the information we need to react upon, but we have the capability to
remember and learn. Based on those successes or failures, we may act differently in the
future if faced with a similar situation.
Reactive machines
• Examples of reactive machines
• Beat at chess by IBM’s supercomputer: One of the best examples of reactive AI is
when Deep Blue, IBM’s chess-playing AI system, beat Garry Kasparov in the late
1990s. Deep Blue could identify its own and its opponent’s pieces on the
chessboard to make predictions, but it does not have the memory capacity to use
past mistakes to inform future decisions. It only makes predictions based on what
moves could be next for both players and selects the best move.
• Netflix recommendations: Netflix’s recommendation engine is powered by
machine learning models that process the data collected from a customer’s
viewing history to determine specific movies and TV shows that they will enjoy.
Humans are creatures of habit—if someone tends to watch a lot of Korean
dramas, Netflix will show a preview of new releases on the home page.
Limited Memory Machines
• The next type of AI in its evolution is limited memory. This algorithm imitates the
way our brains’ neurons work together, meaning that it gets smarter as it receives
more data to train on. Deep learning algorithms improve natural language
processing (NLP), image recognition, and other types of reinforcement learning.
• Limited memory AI, unlike reactive machines, can look into the past and monitor
specific objects or situations over time. Then, these observations are
programmed into the AI so that its actions can be performed based on both past
and present moment data. But in limited memory, this data isn’t saved into the
AI’s memory as experience to learn from, the way humans might derive meaning
from their successes and failures. The AI improves over time as it’s trained on
more data.
Limited Memory Machines
• Example of limited memory artificial intelligence
• Self-driving cars: A good example of limited memory AI is the way
self-driving cars observe other cars on the road for their speed,
direction, and proximity. This information is programmed as the car’s
representation of the world, such as knowing traffic lights, signs,
curves, and bumps in the road. The data helps the car decide when to
change lanes so that it does not get hit or cut off another driver.
Theory of Mind
• The first two types of AI, reactive machines and limited memory, are types that
currently exist. Theory of mind and self-aware AI are theoretical types that could
be built in the future. As such, there aren’t any real-world examples yet.
• If it is developed, theory of mind AI could have the potential to understand the
world and how other entities have thoughts and emotions. In turn, this affects
how they behave in relation to those around them.
• Human cognitive abilities are capable of processing how our own thoughts and
emotions affect others, and how others’ affect us—this is the basis of our
society’s human relationships. In the future, theory of mind AI machines could be
able to understand intentions and predict behavior, as if to simulate human
relationships.
Self-Awareness
• The grand finale for the evolution of AI would
be to design systems that have a sense of self, a
conscious understanding of their existence.
This type of AI does not exist yet.
• This goes a step beyond theory of mind AI and
understanding emotions to being aware of
themselves, their state of being, and being able
to sense or predict others’ feelings. For
example, “I’m hungry” becomes “I know I am
hungry” or “I want to eat lasagna because it’s
my favorite food.”
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning
algorithms are a long way from self-awareness
because there is still so much to uncover about
the human brain’s intelligence and how
memory, learning, and decision-making work.
 Nowadays, Machine Learning is being used to build robots so that they can interact with society.

information
 What is artificial general intelligence (AGI)?
• Artificial general intelligence (AGI) refers to a theoretical state in which computer systems will be able
to achieve or exceed human intelligence. In other words, AGI is “true” artificial intelligence as depicted
in countless science fiction novels, television shows, movies, and comics.
• As for the precise meaning of “AI” itself, researchers don’t quite agree on how we would recognize
“true” artificial general intelligence when it appears. However, the most famous approach to
identifying whether a machine is intelligent or not is known as the Turing Test or Imitation Game, an
experiment that was first outlined by influential mathematician, computer scientist, and cryptanalyst
Alan Turing in a 1950 paper on computer intelligence. There, Turing described a three-player game in
which a human “interrogator” is asked to communicate via text with another human and a machine
and judge who composed each response. If the interrogator cannot reliably identify the human, then
Turing says the machine can be said to be intelligent.
• To complicate matters, researchers and philosophers also can’t quite agree whether we’re beginning
to achieve AGI, if it’s still far off, or just totally impossible. For example, while a recent paper from
Microsoft Research and OpenAI argues that Chat GPT-4 is an early form of AGI, many other
researchers are skeptical of these claims and argue that they were just made for publicity.
• Regardless of how far we are from achieving AGI, you can assume that when someone uses the term
artificial general intelligence, they’re referring to the kind of sentient computer programs and
machines that are commonly found in popular science fiction.
