Abstract:
In the past few years, systems like Siri and Google Now opened our minds to the
idea that we don’t have to be tethered to a laptop to have seamless interaction with
information. In this model, AIs will move from speech recognition to natural language
interaction, to natural language generation, and eventually to an ability to write as well as
receive information. Machine learning is about man assisting computers. Deep learning is
about systems beginning to progress and learn on their own. Historically, systems have
always been trained, they’ve been programmed. And, over time, the programming
languages changed. As we move into the area of AI and cognitive computing, we’re
exploring the ability of computers to do more unaided / unassisted learning.
AI definition: The theory and development of computer systems able to perform
tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition,
decision-making, and translation between languages. In other words, artificial intelligence
is the ability of a computer to understand what you’re asking and then infer the best
possible answer from all the available evidence. Soon AI will become the most important
human collaboration tool ever created, amplifying our abilities and providing a simple user
interface to all exponential technologies. Ultimately, it’s helping us speed toward a world of
abundance. It’s only been in the last few years that we’ve seen a fundamental
transformation in this technology.
