TYPES OF AI

What is AI
Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence
processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific
applications of AI include expert systems, natural language
processing, speech recognition and machine vision.

Artificial Intelligence is the intelligence possessed by the machines

under which they can perform various functions with human help.
With the help of A.I, machines will be able to learn, solve problems,
plan things, think, etc. Artificial Intelligence, for example, is the
simulation of human intelligence by machines. In the field of
technology, Artificial Intelligence is evolving rapidly day by day and it
is believed that in the near future, artificial intelligence is going to
change human life very drastically and will most probably end all the
crises of the world by sorting out the major problems.
Our life in this modern age depends largely on computers. It is
almost impossible to think about life without computers. We need
computers in everything that we use in our daily lives. So it becomes
very important to make computers intelligent so that our lives
become easy. Artificial Intelligence is the theory and development of
computers, which imitates the human intelligence and senses, such
as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and
translation between languages. Artificial Intelligence has brought a
revolution in the world of technology.
Artificial Intelligence Applications
AI is widely used in the field of healthcare. Companies are
attempting to develop technologies that will allow for rapid
diagnosis. Artificial Intelligence would be able to operate on patients
without the need for human oversight. Surgical procedures based on
technology are already being performed.
Artificial Intelligence would save a lot of our time. The use of robots
would decrease human labour. For example, in industries robots are
used which have saved a lot of human effort and time.
In the field of education, AI has the potential to be very effective. It
can bring innovative ways of teaching students with the help of
which students will be able to learn the concepts better.

Artificial intelligence is the future of innovative technology as we can

use it in many fields. For example, it can be used in the Military
sector, Industrial sector, Automobiles, etc. In the coming years, we
will be able to see more applications of AI as this technology is
evolving day by day.
 Marketing: Artificial Intelligence provides a deep knowledge of
consumers and potential clients to the marketers by enabling
them to deliver information at the right time. Through AI
solutions, the marketers can refine their campaigns and
strategies.

 Agriculture: AI technology can be used to detect diseases in

plants, pests, and poor plant nutrition. With the help of AI,
farmers can analyze the weather conditions, temperature,
water usage, and condition of the soil.

 Banking: Fraudulent activities can be detected through AI

solutions. AI bots, digital payment advisers can create a high
quality of service.

 Health Care: Artificial Intelligence can surpass human cognition

in the analysis, diagnosis, and complication of complicated
medical data.
History of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence may seem to be a new technology but if we do
a bit of research, we will find that it has roots deep in the past. In
Greek Mythology, it is said that the concepts of AI were used.
The model of Artificial neurons was first brought forward in 1943 by
Warren McCulloch and Walter Pits. After seven years, in 1950, a
research paper related to AI was published by Alan Turing which was
titled 'Computer Machinery and Intelligence. The term Artificial
Intelligence was first coined in 1956 by John McCarthy, who is
known as the father of Artificial Intelligence.
To conclude, we can say that Artificial Intelligence will be the future
of the world. As per the experts, we won't be able to separate
ourselves from this technology as it would become an integral part
of our lives shortly. AI would change the way we live in this world.
This technology would prove to be revolutionary because it will
change our lives for good.

Branches of Artificial Intelligence:

 Knowledg Engineering
 Robotics
  Machines Learning
 Natural Language Processing

Types of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is categorized in two types based on
capabilities and functionalities.

 Artificial Intelligence Type-1

 Artificial Intelligence Type-2
Artificial Intelligence Type-1
 Narrow AI (weak AI): This is designed to perform a specific
task with intelligence. It is termed as weak AI because it
cannot perform beyond its limitations. It is trained to do a
specific task. Some examples of Narrow AI are facial
recognition (Siri in Apple phones), speech, and image
recognition. IBM’s Watson supercomputer, self-driving cars,
playing chess, and solving equations are also some of the
examples of weak AI.

 General AI (AGI or strong AI): This system can perform nearly

every cognitive task as efficiently as humans can do. The main
 characteristic of general AI is to make a system that can think
like a human on its own. This is a long-term goal of many
researchers to create such machines.

 Super AI: Super AI is a type of intelligence of systems in which

machines can surpass human intelligence and can perform
any cognitive task better than humans. The main features of
strong AI would be the ability to think, reason, solve puzzles,
make judgments, plan and communicate on its own. The
creation of strong AI might be the biggest revolution in
human history.

Artificial Intelligence Type-2:

 Reactive Machines: These machines are the basic types of AI.
Such AI systems focus only on current situations and react as
per the best possible action. They do not store memories for
future actions. IBM’s deep blue system and Google’s Alpha go
are the examples of reactive machines.

 Limited Memory: These machines can store data or past

memories for a short period of time. Examples are self-driving
cars. They can store information to navigate the road, speed,
and distance of nearby cars.

 Theory of Mind: These systems understand emotions, beliefs,

and requirements like humans. These kinds of machines are still
not invented and it’s a long-term goal for the researchers to
create one.

 Self-Awareness: Self-awareness AI is the future of artificial

intelligence. These machines can outsmart the humans. If these
 machines are invented then it can bring a revolution in human
society.

Conclusion
Artificial Intelligence will bring a huge revolution in the history of
mankind. Human civilization will flourish by amplifying human
intelligence with artificial intelligence, as long as we manage to keep
the technology beneficial.
