About Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence, in which the machines are being programmed in such a manner that they copy the action and mimic human beings. Initially, these machines are fed with huge data, enabling them to learn to perform the task at hand without major human intervention.
AI is a buzzword and finding application in various industries, from medicine to space. AI technology is a major leap in todayâs world of digital transformation as the companies are benefitted from the increasing data that is being generated and gathered. This was made possible through the Big Data.
Types of Artificial Intelligence:
The research & development under AI is divided into two categories. These are âapplied Artificial Intelligenceâ and âgeneralised Artificial Intelligenceâ.
- Applied AI uses principles of replicating human thoughts to carry out a particular set of tasks.
- In Generalised AI, machines are capable of doing anything what a human brain can do.
