Artificial Intelligence
This book About Artificial Intelligence by Michael Kanaan has highlighted several concepts, but below is a summary of the most critical points addressed in the book.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a potent tool with too great implications that must be considered and carefully evaluated.
- Time and distance are two of the best ways of representing the tremendous spans of differences that lie between the absurd amount of numbers.
- Natural language processing (NLP) programs and machine learning applications were developed to solve the problem of needing an interpreter when two humans with different languages needed to communicate.
- The first programming language, FORTRAN, which means formula translation was published in 1957, which helped programmers to express their scientific and mathematical computations.
- Computers utilize a base-2 number system called binary as opposed to the common base-10 used in mathematics.
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning confront us with machines that have intelligent characteristics that were initially associated with animals.
- No structure, animal or organism can learn without memory, and computers are also included in this.
- Computer memory has two advantages over the human memory, in that once stored, information in computers takes a long time to deteriorate, as long as the machine is not destroyed and secondly, computers can be connected to share all the data stored in their memory between them.
- The first successful and widely recognized application of machine learning and reinforcement was DeepMind.
- All the things that Artificial Intelligence applications can do will always depend on the applications ability to obtain and analyze situations they are programmed to solve.
- The human ability to learn requires the capacity to acquire data and the ability to explore it.
- Although the power of the human brain is high, there is a limit to the amount of information that a human brain can obtain.
- There is a lot of data that is created and shared over the internet with over half of the world population using the internet daily.
- Almost every activity imaginable on earth can now be done over the internet.
- Cloud operations range from the public through private to hybrid cloud applications.
Privacy is more complicated than security since it is not clear of our expectations as regards to the security of data. Machine learning systems are designed to perform their operations without having to rely on human actions.
