- As humans, we rely on external tools to perform calculations and gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. This is why we invented the abacus, a tool that facilitates computations.
- Computers also utilize computational power to perform calculations, but interpreting the nature of the world is still our responsibility.
- The term "Artificial Intelligence" originated in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference. The goal was to demonstrate that every aspect of learning or intelligence could be precisely described, enabling machines to simulate it. The objective was to create a computer capable of replicating human intelligence.
- In 1980, expert systems sparked the second AI Spring, driven by interest from companies.
- The resurgence of AI in recent years is attributed to advancements in Machine Learning.
- Task: There is a task that a computer must perform.
- Logic: We provide instructions to solve the problem.
- Implementation: Execution of the code, which a software engineer has encoded.
The limitations stem from the inability to identify patterns in data and the logic required to write the code.
- How do we recognize a person? How do we learn to perform a task?
- Machine learning mirrors the functioning of the human brain, employing a set of techniques that enable computers to learn from experience.
- By providing data and desired behavior, machine learning allows computers to extract the underlying logic.
