1. Introduction to AI

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems, enabling them to perform tasks that typically require human cognition such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.

  • Machine Learning (ML): A subset of AI that involves algorithms allowing computers to learn from and make decisions based on data without being explicitly programmed.

  • Deep Learning: A specialized form of ML that uses neural networks with multiple layers to model complex patterns in large datasets, often used in image and speech recognition.

  • Neural Networks: Computing systems inspired by the human brain's interconnected neuron structure, used in deep learning to recognize patterns and solve complex problems.

  • Supervised Learning: A type of ML where models are trained on labeled data, meaning each input has a corresponding correct output.

  • Unsupervised Learning: ML approach where models find patterns or groupings in unlabeled data without predefined labels.

Essential Points

  • AI aims to replicate or simulate human intelligence to automate tasks, improve efficiency, and solve complex problems.
