Meaning
The theory and development of computer
systems able to perform tasks normally
requiring human intelligence, such as
visual perception, speech recognition,
decision-making, and translation between
languages.
The term was coined in 1956 by John
McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
HISTORY

Less errors and defects
Function is infinite
No risk of harm
Increase Our Technological Growth Rate
APPLICATIONS IN BUSINESS
Medical Diagnosis
Stock Trading
Robot Control

Major breakthroughs
For almost 60 years, Artificial intelligence
researchers have predicted that AI is right
around the corner, yet until a few years ago it
seemed as stuck in the future as ever. There
was even a term coined to describe this era of
meagre results and even more such research
finding: The AI winter.
Has anything really changed?
Yes. recent breakthroughs have unleashed the
long-awaited arrival of artificial intelligence
Autonomous cars
Anautonomous car, also known as adriverless car,self-driving
carandrobotic car, is a vehiclecapable of fulfilling the main
transportation capabilities of a traditional car. As an autonomous
vehicle, it is capable of sensing its environment and navigating
without human input. Robotic cars exist mainly as prototypes and
demonstration systems. As of 2014, the only self-driving vehicles
that are commercially available are open-air shuttles for pedestrian
zones that operate at 20.1km/h
Autonomous vehicles sense their surroundings with such techniques
asradar,lidar, GPS, andcomputer vision. Advanced control systems
interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation
paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage. Autonomous
vehicles are capable ofupdating their maps based on sensory input,
allowing the vehicles to keep track of their position even when
conditions change or when they enter uncharted environments.
Humanoid Robots
Ahumanoid robotis arobotwith its body shape built
to resemble that of thehuman body. A humanoid
design might be for functional purposes, such as
interacting with human tools and environments, for
experimental purposes, such as the study ofbipedal
locomotion, or for other purposes. Androidsare
humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble
humans.
Humanoid robots are used as a research tool in
several scientific areas, they are being developed to
perform human tasks like personal assistance, where
they should be able to assist the sick and elderly, and
dirty or dangerous jobs. Regular jobs like being a
receptionist or a worker of an automotive
manufacturing line are also suitable for humanoids.
In essence, since they can use tools and operate
equipment and vehicles designed for the human
form.
Googles DeepMind
Google acquired DeepMind led by Demis
Hassabis for $628 million.
It is a startup that uses the techniques of
Deep Learning to process data through a
network of layered neurons.
Its technology can be used to optimise
Googles search engine, YouTubes
recommendations software and even robotics.
In the coming era it can revolutionise the role
that computers play in the lives of humans.
Drawbacks:
AI is integrated with number-crunching
force and lacks in approximating how
desires and autonomy in human minds work.
Computers are far from attaining the smooth
ability to decipher and take action in unexpected
circumstances and emergency.
For example: Googles software cant use social cues like
eye contact or waving to other drivers and pedestrians
as
a human driver might to clear up a misunderstanding.
Technological Singularity:
A hypothetical event where smart machines design
successive generations of increasingly powerful
machines, creating intelligence far exceeding human
intellectual capacity and control.
The technological singularity is the point beyond
which events may become unpredictable or even
unfathomable to human intelligence. This may prove
to become a doomsday for humanity.
AI in Defence:
An open letter was signed by
leading scientists and
technologists calling for a ban
on lethal weapons controlled
by artificially intelligent
machines
Fears of making killing more
efficient, and less
accountable, both on the
battlefield and off.
The signatories included
prominent scientists and
entrepreneurs like Elon Musk,
Stephen Hawking, and Steve
Wozniak.
Other fears:
Our instincts about privacy must change now that
machines can decipher images.
Our personal data could be used to create intelligent
digital doppelgangers with a kind of life of their own.
Although intelligent software could never be conscious,
it could still harm us if not designed correctly.
The capacity to monitor billions of conversations and to
pick out every citizen from the crowd by his voice or her
face poses grave threats to liberty.
