1. Chapter

What is artificial intelligence

What exactly is AI?

So, you're curious about artificial intelligence, or AI as it's often called.  That's fantastic!  It's a really exciting field, and honestly, it's becoming more important to understand every day.  AI is popping up everywhere, from the apps on our phones to the way businesses operate, and it's changing the world around us in some pretty big ways.  But AI can also seem a bit mysterious, right?  Like it's something super complicated that only tech geniuses can understand.  Well, that's what we're going to fix in this book.  We'll break down AI into simple, easy-to-digest pieces, so you can understand what it's all about, even if you've never thought about code or algorithms before.

Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, though, let's take a quick trip down memory lane.  Believe it or not, the idea of AI has been around for quite a while!  People have been dreaming about creating thinking machines for centuries, but it wasn't until the mid-20th century that things really started to take shape.  A bunch of smart folks got together at a workshop at Dartmouth College in 1956, and that's often considered the official "birth" of AI as a field.  They even came up with the name "artificial intelligence" right there!

Now, back then, there was a lot of excitement about AI. People thought we'd have robots doing everything for us in no time. But, as it often happens with new technologies, progress wasn't as easy as everyone hoped.  There were times when interest in AI waned, and funding dried up – these periods are sometimes called "AI winters."  But the dream of AI never really went away.

And now, here we are in the 21st century, and AI is having a major moment!  Thanks to some incredible breakthroughs, especially in something called "machine learning" and "deep learning," AI is more powerful than ever before.  We have huge amounts of data and super-fast computers, which has allowed AI to do some truly amazing things.  Think about how ChatGPT can write stories and answer your questions, or how AI can create realistic-looking images from just a few words.  It's mind-blowing!  This latest wave of AI innovation is super exciting, but it also raises some important questions about ethics and the future of work.  We'll touch on some of those later.

So, what exactly is artificial intelligence?  At its core, AI is the ability of a computer or machine to mimic human intelligence.  Think of it as trying to teach a computer to think and learn like we do.  This doesn't mean building robots that perfectly replicate humans (though that's a cool idea often explored in movies!). Instead, it's about creating systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence."

"Let's break that down a bit more:  AI is about enabling computers to:

Learn: Just like a student studies for a test, AI systems can learn from data. The more data they have, the better they become at their task. For example, an AI might learn to recognize cats in photos by being shown thousands of pictures of cats.

Problem-solve: AI can be used to solve complex problems, from playing chess to optimizing delivery routes. They can analyze vast amounts of information and find the best solutions.

Make decisions: AI can make decisions based on the information it has learned. For instance, an AI might recommend products you'd like based on your past purchases.

t's important to remember that AI is implemented through technology – it's code, algorithms, and data working together to create these intelligent systems."

Examples of What AI Is

Now that we have a basic understanding of what AI is, let's look at some concrete examples of AI in action. Seeing how AI is used in real-world applications will help solidify the concept. We'll also discuss some common misconceptions about AI, because it's just as important to understand what AI isn't as what it is.

Image Recognition: Think of your phone unlocking with facial recognition, or Google Lens identifying objects in a photo. AI algorithms are trained on massive datasets of images to recognize patterns and identify what's in a picture. This is narrow AI, as it's very good at image recognition, but can't do other things.

Natural Language Processing (NLP): This is what powers chatbots like ChatGPT. AI algorithms are trained to understand and generate human language. This allows computers to understand your voice commands, translate languages, and even write articles (like this one!). Again, this is typically narrow AI, focused on language tasks.
