1. Introduction to AI

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It involves tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. (Source: general understanding from the provided content)

  • History of AI development: The evolution of AI began in the mid-20th century, marked by initial optimism and subsequent periods of both progress and setbacks, leading to modern advancements driven by increased computational power and data availability. (Implied from the source content)

  • Types of AI:

    • Narrow AI: AI systems designed for specific tasks, such as voice assistants or image recognition, without general reasoning capabilities.
    • General AI: Hypothetical AI with human-like intelligence, capable of understanding, learning, and applying knowledge across a wide range of tasks. (Source: general AI classification)
  • Turing Test: A measure proposed by Alan Turing (1950) to evaluate a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human, serving as an early benchmark for AI evaluation.
