Artificial Intelligence 

Artificial Intelligence is the shine of technology that is replacing human beings, the machine works as human intelligence even sometimes better than a human using some logic, algorithms, reasoning, logic, etc., to resolve the problem on predictive, real-time, and fixed patterns bases.

e.g. in a company 100 people work, but an AI machine can decrease them from 100 to 10, increasing the outcome and the quality of the outcome.

There are three ways for AI solutions to work - 

Narrow AI

A narrow AI solution is a set of rules where the problem and the solutions are already defined and the machine knows the problem and solution. it will solve the problem which is already fed into the memory. 

e.g. A chatbot, or when you call customer care support, it gives you some options of problem to resolve the problem, Amazon Alexa, Siri, Image recognition, etc.

Functionalities: Reactive Machine.


General AI

A general AI solution is similar to the narrow but a small difference is the AI solution can learn the problem and solution and it can resolve the run-time problems too. based on its learning capacity.

e.g. A self-drive car, etc.

Functionalities: Limited Memory.


Super AI

The theory of mind and self-awareness kind of patterns used with super AI, this AI technology is the most advanced, where a machine is better than human intelligence, with such artificial intelligence the machine can learn, adapt, and it can teach other people or other machines as well.

e.g. Advanced robots, supercomputers, etc.

Functionalities: Theory of mind, self-awareness.


>> How does an AI solution work?

There are 4 steps for AI solutions to work for any respective problem -

Learning

The learning is the problem understanding, the algorithm understands the scenario and all parameters, and accordingly, it takes it as a task to resolve it, hence it is the first stage where AI gets the information from any source, to resolve that problem.

Before the development phase, the AI team makes some research, collects the information, finalizes the sources, gets the vision, and sets the resources to execute and implement the idea. 

e.g. image recognition.
 

Reasoning

According to the scope of the work, the team has set the formulas and modules in the solution, where all possible permutations and combinations can be done to get the best resolution through the AI solution and get to the conclusion according to the task and algorithm, which solution is best.

e.g. processing for the image.

Problem-Solving

Now the AI solution can resolve the problem after all learning and reasoning for possible solutions, it starts the work, and calculations to resolve the problem, and all work is done within a limited and short time so that the user shouldn't wait for that.

e.g. information from the image.

Perception

Now it's time to see or visualize the outcome after learning, reasoning, and solution, with this stage of AI, you can see the outcome of the AI solution. This is the final stage until you don't wish to improve or scale up the current solution.

e.g. audio search, and prediction or recommendation based on some trend.


>> What are the Methods?


The AI methods work according to the intelligence of human beings, like a human can write, read, speak, see, understand, think, remember, recognize, and get to some conclusion, the AI methods work on all same intelligence -

Text - NLP/NLG

Identifying the text, text capturing, text creation, text filtering, text recognition, text scrapping, text cleaning, text chat, auto-replies, text conversation, text search, voice text, etc., all intelligence related to text whether it comes under manual or file uploading or scanning, every such intelligence comes under the Natural Language Processing. NLP is the sub-part of AI and ML 

Audio - ML - NLP, 

Same things you are doing with the NLP for text results, here with this AI method you will make via audio, audio detection, creation, filtering, recognition, conversation, scrapping, etc., all intelligence related to an audio or analog form of the data comes under Machine Learning and NLP again. 

Image Recognition - ML, DL

The information scrabbing from the images or any static view is image recognition, which can be used for many things and agendas, we'll discuss the application of all methods, here with ML and Deep Learning, you can get such an AI solution. There is an advanced AI of this method where with image recognition you can make video recognition too.
 

Computer Vision - ML, DL

Again image recognition, sometimes on the next level, on a run-time basis. A camera or I must say a smart camera can capture all information via object detection and surrounding locations detection, like a human being. The camera's vision will keep an eyesight on the objects and will keep capturing the information as a human being, A human can miss something but this AI solution will not miss anything.


>> AI Applications (Cases)

There are so many AI applications, but here I can bring up a few of them. Let's check -
