Basics of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 

 21st century belongs to technology. In the evolving technology landscape, AI and ML are the dominant players. Artificial Intelligence is the science of making machines responsive, intelligence through machine learning. The science of AI and ML rides on the power of high scale computing, high bandwidth data transfer and huge data storage systems. Data is the king. 

 

Types of Artificial Intelligence:

Artificial Intelligence can be divided in various types, there are mainly two types of main categorization which are based on capabilities and based on functionally of AI.

Types of Artificial Intelligence

 

AI type-1: Based on Capabilities

 

1. Weak AI / Narrow AI:

  • Narrow AI is a type of AI which is able to perform a dedicated task with intelligence.The most common and currently available AI is Narrow AI in the world of Artificial Intelligence.
  • Narrow AI cannot perform beyond its field or limitations, as it is only trained for one specific task. Hence it is also termed as weak AI. Narrow AI can fail in unpredictable ways if it goes beyond its limits.
  • Apple Siriis a good example of Narrow AI, but it operates with a limited pre-defined range of functions.
  • IBM's Watson supercomputer also comes under Narrow AI, as it uses an Expert system approach combined with Machine learning and natural language processing.
  • Some Examples of Narrow AI are playing chess, purchasing suggestions on e-commerce site, self-driving cars, speech recognition, and image recognition.

2. General AI:

  • General AI is a type of intelligence which could perform any intellectual task with efficiency like a human.
  • The idea behind the general AI to make such a system which could be smarter and think like a human by its own.
  • Currently, there is no such system exist which could come under general AI and can perform any task as perfect as a human.
  • The worldwide researchers are now focused on developing machines with General AI.
  • As systems with general AI are still under research, and it will take lots of efforts and time to develop such systems.

3. Super AI:

Types of Artificial Intelligence

  • Super AI is a level of Intelligence of Systems at which machines could surpass human intelligence, and can perform any task better than human with cognitive properties. It is an outcome of general AI.
  • Some key characteristics of strong AI include capability include the ability to think, to reason,solve the puzzle, make judgments, plan, learn, and communicate by its own.
  • Super AI is still a hypothetical concept of Artificial Intelligence. Development of such systems in real is still world changing task.

The Multiverse, Human Purpose, and a Balanced Way of Life

Humans by virtue of their communication skills, intelligence and technological advancements, consider themselves to be at the top of the food chain, claiming the first right over nature’s resources. The privileged humans are consuming the natural resources of Earth at an unprecedented rate. Humanity is also ready with its scientific toys to go beyond Earth to maximise its consumption pleasure. To quench this thirst of pleasure, privilege and comforts, humans have little concern for other ecosystems like flora and fauna. The idea of a multiverse, an infinite array of parallel universes, each with its own distinct laws, realities, and possibilities, is a big threat to the ambitions and actions of the human race. This evolving framework of humans not at the centre of things but impacting the whole in unimaginable ways,  invites profound questions about humanity's role, the multiplicity of pathways available to individuals, and the sense of purpose that drives action. When viewed throu...

Living in Paradox

Life is essentially a paradox as it happen in possibilities. Change, instability and uncertainty are its essential features. Anyone looking for stability and certainty is living in fool’s paradise  Modern physics in general and quantum physics in particular has increasingly validated this finding of ancient Eastern Yogis. Now there is sufficient scientific evidence to prove that the systematic and mechanical view of world as given by Newtonian Physics is grossly limited at both sub atomic and cosmic levels.  This change in understanding is essential to re calibrate our knowledge about how ecosystems works and they organize themselves. It calls for a sea change in our conceptual understanding that integrates three dimensions of life - biological, cognitive and social  Life is aliveness. Most of the things that we encounter in our environment are alive. Everything vibrates. The only difference lies in the rate of vibration. Life is essentially a network of i...

Transcending the Corona Threat – The India Style

Swasthya ( Well Being) is a   journey of coming of one’s self, realizing one’s true nature. When the mind is free of all Vaysans( emotions of fear, anger, guilt, shame), the consciousness heals everything. Our job is only to remove the blocks that lies between   the self and   consciousness.                                           Anonymous Across the world, people are deriving their own ways and means to fight the menace of COVID 19. Social Distancing and washing hands have emerged as the most effective tool to prevent the spread of the virus. Mass Social distancing in form of lockdowns, have been practiced in almost all countries to prevent the societal spread of the virus. However, the virus continues to find home at new places and group of people. No authority in the ...
