Q & A

Who first coined the term 'artificial intelligence' and when?

The term 'artificial intelligence' was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 during the Dartmouth conference.

How does artificial intelligence differ from machine learning and deep learning?

Artificial intelligence is the science of getting machines to mimic human behavior. Machine learning is a subset of AI that focuses on machines making decisions by learning from data. Deep learning is a further subset of machine learning, which uses neural networks to solve complex problems.

What is Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), and can you provide examples?

Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), also known as weak AI, is AI that focuses on specific tasks. Examples include Alexa, Tesla's autopilot, Google Maps, and facial recognition in iPhones.

What are the three stages or types of artificial intelligence?

The three stages of AI are Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). ANI focuses on specific tasks, AGI involves machines that can perform intellectual tasks like humans, and ASI refers to machines surpassing human intelligence, a currently hypothetical stage.

What concerns do experts like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have about artificial intelligence?

Elon Musk believes that AI is a fundamental risk to human civilization, and Stephen Hawking warned that strong AI could evolve faster than humans, potentially superseding us.

How is artificial intelligence currently used in healthcare?

AI is used in healthcare in various ways, such as IBM Watson’s AI technology diagnosing rare diseases and Google's AI helping to detect diabetic retinopathy by analyzing retina scans.

What role does artificial intelligence play in social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter?

AI is used on social media platforms like Facebook for face verification and on Twitter to identify hate speech and terroristic language using machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing.

How does Google's predictive search use artificial intelligence?

Google’s predictive search uses AI by analyzing data like a user’s location and personal details to make accurate suggestions as the user types in the search bar.

What is the significance of AI in self-driving cars?

AI plays a crucial role in self-driving cars by using technologies like computer vision and deep learning to allow cars to detect objects and navigate without human intervention. Elon Musk claims that Tesla will have fully self-driving cars ready soon.

Is it possible for AI to surpass human intelligence, and how soon could this happen?

Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), where AI surpasses human intelligence, is currently hypothetical. However, some experts like Elon Musk predict that AI could potentially take over by the year 2040.
