1. Artificial Intelligence and Its Scope

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Artificial intelligence: a branch of computer science that aims to build systems capable of performing tasks that usually require human intelligence and simulating human thinking.

β˜… Must-know

πŸ“Œ Most current AI systems have a narrow scope and are designed to perform one task or a limited group of tasks rather than everything a human can do.

Further detail

  • Examples of AI applications include:
    • spam filtering
    • product recommendations
    • translation
    • speech recognition
    • image recognition

Memory Hook

A simple calculator performs a narrow task, whereas AI imitates human intelligence across broader tasks.
