Information Technology (Presentation On Artificial Intelligence
- 2. Turing Test Human beings are intelligent To be called intelligent, a machine must produce responses that are indistinguishable from those of a human Alan Turing
- 3. Obvious question What is AI? Programs that behave externally like humans? Programs that operate internally as humans do? Computational systems that behave intelligently? Rational behaviour?
- 4. Does AI have applications? Autonomous planning and scheduling of tasks aboard a spacecraft Beating Gary Kasparov in a chess match Steering a driver-less car Understanding language Robotic assistants in surgery Monitoring trade in the stock market to see if insider trading is going on
- 5. The future of Artificial Intelligence: 6 ways it will impact everyday life
- 6. 1.AUTOMATED TRANSPORTATION We’re already seeing the beginnings of self-driving cars, though the vehicles are currently required to have a driver present at the wheel for safety. Despite these exciting developments, the technology isn’t perfect yet, and it will take a while for public acceptance to bring automated cars into widespread use. Google began testing a self-driving car in 2012, and since then, the U.S. Department of Transportation has released definitions of different levels of automation, with Google’s car classified as the first level down from full automation. Other transportation methods are closer to full automation, such as buses and trains.
- 7. 2. CYBORG TECHNOLOGY One of the main limitations of being human is simply our own bodies—and brains. Researcher Shimon Whiteson thinks that in the future, we will be able to augment ourselves with computers and enhance many of our own natural abilities. Though many of these possible cyborg enhancements would be added for convenience, others might serve a more practical purpose. This kind of cyborg technology would significantly reduce the limitations that amputees deal with on a daily basis.
- 8. 3.TAKING OVER DANGEROUS JOBS Robots are already taking over some of the most hazardous jobs available, including bomb defusing. These robots aren’t quite robots yet, according to the BBC. They are technically drones, being used as the physical counterpart for defusing bombs, but requiring a human to control them, rather than using AI. Whatever their classification, they have saved thousands of lives by taking over one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. As technology improves, we will likely see more AI integration to help these machines function.
- 9. 4.SOLVING CLIMATE CHANGE Solving climate change might seem like a tall order from a robot, but as Stuart Russell explains, machines have more access to data than one person ever could —storing a mind-boggling number of statistics. Using big data, AI could one day identify trends and use that information to come up with solutions to the world’s biggest problems.
- 10. 5.ROBOTS AS FRIEND Who wouldn’t want a friend like C-3PO? At this stage, most robots are still emotionless and it’s hard to picture a robot you could relate to. However, a company in Japan has made the first big steps toward a robot companion—one who can understand and feel emotions. Introduced in 2014, “Pepper” the companion robot went on sale in 2015, with all 1,000 initial units selling out within a minute. The robot was programmed to read human emotions, develop its own emotions, and help its human friends stay happy.
- 11. 6.IMPROVED ELDER CARE For many seniors, everyday life is a struggle, and many have to hire outside help to manage their care, or rely on family members. AI is at a stage where replacing this need isn’t too far off, says Matthew Taylor, computer scientist at Washington State University. “Home” robots could help seniors with everyday tasks and allow them to stay independent and in their homes for as long as possible, which improves their overall well-being.
