Describe the word "artificial".
Something caused or produced by a human often with a natural model.
When were the first computers built?
In the 1940s.
What is natural language processing?
Natural language processing strives to build machines that understand and respond to text or voice data—and respond with text or speech of their own—in much the same way humans do.
Define Artificial Super Intelligence.
ASI is a term referring to the time when the capability of computers will surpass humans.
Which company uses predictive searches based on data they collect about you, such as your location, age, previous searches and other personal details.
Google, Apple, ...
Define the term "machine".
A machine is a mechanically, electrically, or electronically operated device for performing a task.
Investment and interest in AI boomed in
the first decades of the 21st century.
What is an AI-powered knowledge base?
Knowledge bases with AI not only store data but find solutions for further problems using data from previous experience stored as part of the knowledge base.
Define Artificial General Intelligence.
AGI also known as strong AI, involves machines that possess the ability to perform any intellectual task that a human being can.
Define the term Artificial Intelligence.
AI is a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers.
AI describes the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior.
In 1950 Alan Turing published a landmark paper in which he speculated about the possibility of creating machines that think. He noted that "thinking" is difficult to define and devised his famous Turing Test.
How did the Turing test work?
If a machine could carry on a conversation (over a teleprinter) that was indistinguishable from a conversation with a human being, then it was reasonable to say that the machine was "thinking".
What is machine learning?
Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience and by the use of data.
Define Artificial Narrow Intelligence.
ANI also known as weak AI involves applying AI only to specific tasks.
Name at least three pros and cons of voice assistants.
cons: lack of personal contact, privacy concerns, data security, signal strength
pros: more free time, skills, help destress
Who organized the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence at Dartmouth College in Hanover (New Hampshire), which is considered the beginning of Artificial Intelligence?
John McCarthy organized the conference.
What are some of the oldest known precursors (Vorboten) of artificial intelligence?
Greek Mythology:
Talos was a giant automaton made of bronze to protect Europa in Crete from pirates and invaders.
Argonautica, the only surviving Hellenistic epic, the Argonautica tells the myth of the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts to retrieve the Golden Fleece from remote Colchis.
What are advantages of Expert Systems?
