Why AI Matters
Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries by automating tasks, enhancing decision-making, and enabling new technologies.
From healthcare to finance, AI is driving innovation and efficiency.
Understanding AI: Key Acronyms and Phrases
- AI (Artificial Intelligence):
Machines performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation.
- AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) / GAI (General Artificial Intelligence):
Hypothetical AI with human-like intelligence across multiple domains. Current AI is considered narrow because it focuses on specific tasks.
- Bias:
In machine learning, bias occurs when a model favors certain outcomes due to patterns in its training data. Monitoring and correcting bias is crucial.
- Computer Vision:
Enables machines to interpret visual information, similar to human vision. It involves extracting insights from images or videos.
- ML (Machine Learning):
A subset of AI where algorithms learn from data to improve performance over time.
- NLP (Natural Language Processing):
AI’s ability to understand and generate human language.
- DL (Deep Learning):
An ML technique using neural networks with multiple layers to learn complex patterns.
- CNN (Convolutional Neural Network):
A specialized neural network for image recognition and computer vision.
- RNN (Recurrent Neural Network):
Used for sequence data (e.g., text, time series) due to its memory capabilities.
- IoT (Internet of Things):
Interconnected devices that collect and share data, often integrated with AI.
Applications of AI 
- Healthcare: AI assists in diagnosing diseases, personalizing treatment plans, and managing patient data.
