Class Note 1: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
- Definition and history of AI
- Branches: machine learning, natural language processing, robotics
- Applications in real life: recommendation systems, voice assistants
- Key challenges: bias, data privacy, ethics
AI has become an integral part of modern technology. From automating tasks to making intelligent
decisions, AI systems leverage vast datasets and algorithms to simulate human-like intelligence.
The historical journey of AI begins in the 1950s and has evolved through periods of innovation and
setbacks.
Understanding AI requires diving into subfields like supervised and unsupervised learning, computer
vision, and reinforcement learning. It is also essential to critically evaluate the ethical implications
and challenges related to fairness and transparency.
