ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OVERVIEW • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS THE ABILITY FOR COMPUTERS TO “THINK” • USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, MACHINES CAN LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE AND ADAPT TO NEW SITUATIONS • THE MAIN METHOD USED TO TRAINAI IS MACHINE LEARNING

MACHINE LEARNING • MACHINE LEARNING INVOLVES THE USE OFCPU’S AND GPU’S OR OTHER DEDICATED CHIPS FOR AI CALCULATIONS • A MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHM IS TASKED WITH PROCESSING A DATA SET, THEN IT PARSES IT, LEARNS FROM IT AND MAKES A PREDICTION IN THE WORLD • MADE EVEN BETTER WITH DEEP LEARNING

DEEP LEARNING • DEEP LEARNING IS A SUBFIELD OF MACHINE LEARNING • THESE TYPES OF AI NETWORKS ARE CALLED NEURAL NETWORKS • IT’S BASED OFF THE ARCHITECTURE OF OUR HUMAN BRAINS. THEY ARE FILLED WITH SPECIAL CELLS CALLED NEURONS. THERE ARE OVER 100 BILLION OF THESE IN OUR BRAINS. THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THEM IS WHAT ENABLES US TO LEARN. • NEURAL NETWORKS MIMIC THIS KIND OF ARCHITECTURE. A NEURAL NETWORK IS A SET OF ALGORITHMS THAT BEHAVE THE WAY OUR NEURONS DO WHEN THEY ARE PASSING ON DATA.

AI IMPLEMENTATIONS IN THE REAL WORLD • SELF-DRIVING CARS, SUCH AS THE TESLA CARS, USEAI TO IMPLEMENT THAT FEATURE. THE AI WAS TRAINED OVER TIME TO RECOGNIZE SIGNS, PEOPLE AND OTHER CARS IT. USES A SET OF ALGORITHMS WHICH ARE RUN ON AGPU (GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT) IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE OBJECTS. THE TESLA CARS ALSO HAVE CAMERAS ALL OVER THE CAR WHICH CAPTURE IMAGE DATA, AS WELL AS SENSORS WHICH DETERMINE DISTANCE, SPEED AND OTHER FACTORS. THESE ARE CALCULATED IN REAL TIME TO PROVIDE THE CAR WITH INFORMATION IT NEEDS TO SLOW DOWN FOR EXAMPLE DUE TO A CAR IN FRONT OF IT.

AI APPLICATIONS CONT. • AI IS USED FOR MUCH MORE THAN SELF-DRIVING CARS ALTHOUGH THOSE HAVE GOTTEN THE MOST PRESS ATTENTION. AI HAS BEEN USED TO RECOGNIZE DIFFICULT TO DETECT DISEASES, FINANCIAL TRADING, FRAUD DETECTION AND PREVENTION. WE ALSO FEEL EFFECTS FROM AI USING FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE. IT’S USED TO TAILOR SEARCHES IN THE SEARCH ENGINE AND FEED INFORMATION ONFACEBOOK.

GOOGLE ASSISTANT • GOOGLE ASSISTANT IS AN AI TRAINED BY GOOGLE. IT IS A FEATURE ON ANDROID DEVICES AND IS ACTIVATED BY SAYING “HEY GOOGLE”. RECENTLY, IT WAS DEMONSTRATED THAT IT COULD BE USED BY A USER TO CALL A HAIR SALON OR RESTAURANT AND BOOK AN APPOINTMENT OR MAKE A RESERVATION FOR YOU. IT SOUNDED COMPLETELY NATURAL AND THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END COULDN’T TELL THAT THEY WERE TALKING TO ANAI • GOOGLE ASSISTANT IS SEEN AS THE LEADINGAI ASSISTANT TODAY

ALEXA • ALEXA IS AN AI ASSISTANT THAT AMAZON HAS CREATED AND INTEGRATED INTO PRODUCTS LIKE THE AMAZON ECHO. IT’S A CLOUD BASED VIRTUAL ASSISTANT AND CAN ANSWER A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS AS WELL AS GIVE NEWS, CREATE TO-DO LISTS, PLAY MUSIC AND ALSO HELP TO AUTOMATE YOUR HOME. Amazon Echo with Alexa

SIRI • SIRI IS APPLE INC’S VIRTUAL ASSISTANT. IT COMES ON DEVICES SUCH AS THE IPHONE, IPAD, HOME POD, IMAC AND THE MACBOOK. IT’S MORE LIMITED THAN ALEXA AND GOOGLE ASSISTANT ALTHOUGH ITS CAPABILITIES GROW YEAR UPON YEAR. RECENTLY, SIRI GAINED THE ABILITY TO DO MANY TASKS AT ONCE AND THIRD PARTY APPS CAN USE SIRI TO ACTIVATE THEIR FUNCTIONS. SMART HOME APPLIANCES ALSO MAKE USE OF SIRI TO WORK ALSO SO YOU CAN USE SIRI TO CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE OR TO TURN OUT THE LIGHTS IN THE HOUSE OR BUSINESS WITH THE APPROPRIATE APPLIANCES. IPhone XS with Siri Activated
