Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
In this chapter, we are going to discuss the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it's applied in the real world. We spend a significant portion of our everyday life interacting with smart systems. This can be in the form of searching for something on the internet, biometric facial recognition, or converting spoken words to text. AI is at the heart of all this and it's becoming an important part of our modern lifestyle. All these systems are complex real-world applications and AI solves these problems with mathematics and algorithms. Throughout the book, we will learn the fundamental principles that can be used to build such applications. Our overarching goal is to enable you to take up new and challenging AI problems that you might encounter in your everyday life.
By the end of this chapter, you will know:
- What is AI and why do we need to study it?
- What are some applications of AI?
- A classification...
