Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Defining Artificial Intelligence   


http://theband.hiof.no/band_pictures/artificial_intelligence.jpgThe phrase Artificial Intelligence I, which was coined by John McCarthy three decades ago, evades a concise and formal definition to date. One representative definition is pivoted around the comparison of intelligence of computing machines with human beings . Another definition is concerned with the performance of machines which "historically have been judged to lie within the domain of intelligence" . None of these definitions or the like have been universally accepted, perhaps because of their references to the word "intelligence", which at present is an abstract and immeasurable quantity. A better definition of artificial intelligence, therefore, calls for formalization of the term "intelligence". Psychologist and Cognitive theorists are of the opinion that intelligence helps in identifying the right piece of knowledge at the appropriate instances of decision making. The phrase "artificial intelligence" thus c bane defined as the simulation of human intelligence on a machine, so make the machine efficient to identify and use the right place of "Knowledge" at a given step of solving a problem. A system capable of planning and executing the right task at the right time is generally called rational . Thus, AI alternatively may be stated as a subject dealing with computational models that can think and act rationally 1, 2, 3, 4. A common question then naturally arises: Does rational thinking and acting include all possible characteristics of an intelligent system? If so, how does it represent behavioral intelligence such as machine learning, perception and planning? A little thinking, however, reveals that a system that can reason well must be a successful planner, as planning in many circumstances is part of a reasoning process. Further, a system can act rationally only after acquiring adequate knowledge from the real world. So, perception that stands for building up of knowledge from real world information is a prerequisite feature for rational actions. One step further thinking envisages that a machine without learning capability cannot possess perception. The rational action of an agent (actor), thus, calls for possession of all the elementary characteristics of intelligence. Relating artificial intelligence with the computational models capable of thinking and acting rationally, therefore, has a pragmatic significance.

You Don't Have To Pay To Be Infected

As a general IT consumer having various expensive electronics, you decide to keep them safe from malware and viruses. So, just like everyone else, you decide to look up "the best antivirus" to pay for and be safe. The '90s are gone and you could just be wasting or in simple terms, unnecessarily spending for the "protection". This does not mean there is no need to be worried about the infected and malicious software. They are plenty. For example, September 18, the facts about hackers having piggybacked malware onto one of the widely used tools, that was  designed to optimize system performance on Windows PCs and Android mobile device known as CCleaner —  According to Piriform, around 2.27 million users might have installed the infected version of the CCleaner software, a spokesperson told TechCrunch .  The next thing you know, everybody is rushing out to buy a good (expensive) antivirus. There are various antivirus services that offer genuine tools that can

Online Learning – Does It Pay Off?

Image
At one point or the other, we have all thought about learning online. The question is, is it worth it?The ease of access to the internet has tremendously increased the scope of online learning. But is it really worth it? Let's take a look at the benefits of online learning for students (especially programmers and developers). FLEXIBILITY AND BALANCE Probably the hardest thing about taking up an online course or learning something new is to find the time to do it. Everyone is engaged in activities relating to their personal lives and other commitments. There is a significant amount of time spent in traveling (especially for students who live far away from their respective institutions), reaching the classroom, sitting and waiting for the lecturer to arrive, and then the hassle to travel back. However, the importance of education and building a future for yourself and your family cannot be ignored. Through online learning, you can balance both of these very important thing

How To Make Your Computer Talk Like JARVIS

Image
You must have Windows Speech Recognition Macros installed. Follow this LINK to download it. You Must have Watched The Movie  "IRON MAN" ,"The Avengers" and Tony Stark's Talking Computer "JARVIS". Despite being busy, I saw the movie "iron man" a few months ago and since then I was planning on making something similar to"Jarvis" The project development on "human computer interface" and "Gestural interface" has already been started on my side, which is capable of having features like voice recognition, gestural interfaces. Some of those projects have been partially developed and working in the desired manner, but few features and modules are yet to be implemented and are on their way of completion in very short span of time. So lets come to the body of this article.The reason for writing this post for my readers is to share what I've achieved till now in this journey of  Artificia
