      Chapter 0: Introduction

      What is Artificial Intelligence?

      Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. It is also a field of study which tries to make computers smart. They work on their own without being encoded with commands. John McCarthy came up with the name Artificial Intelligence in 1955.

      The difference between AI and regular programing? Regular programs define all possible scenarios and only operate within those defined scenarios. AI ‘trains’ a program for a specific task and allows it to explore and improve on its own. A good AI ‘figures out’ what to do when met with unfamiliar situations. Microsoft Word cannot improve on its own, but facial recognition software can get better at recognizing faces the longer it runs.

      To apply AI, you need data. Lots of it. AI algorithms are trained using large datasets so that they can identify patterns, make predictions and recommend actions, much like a human would, just faster and better.

      We interact with AI every day in our professional and personal lives:

      Task automation: repetitive back-office tasks such as clerical work, invoicing, and management reporting can be automated to save time and improve accuracy. Factory and warehouse work can also be automated using AI-powered robots.

      Customer support: remember the online text chat you had with your bank’s customer support? That may have been a chatbot instead of an actual human.

      Social media: Facebook uses AI to recognize faces. When you upload photos to Facebook, it puts a box around the faces in the photo and suggests friends’ names to tag.

      Self-driving cars: Onboard cameras and computers identify objects and people on the road, follow traffic signs, and drive the car. Early models are already safer than human drivers.

      Still, even the best AI today cannot match up to the human brain in some respects. While some AI is designed to mimic the human brain, AI today is
