Have you ever wondered how maps in your smartphone are able to guide you to take the
fastest route to your destination by analyzing real-time data, such as traffic congestion? On
uploading a photo on a social networking site, has it ever happened that your friends in the
photograph were recognized and tagged automatically? These are some of the examples of
application of Artificial Intelligence. The intelligent digital personal assistants like Siri, Google
Now, Cortana, Alexa are all powered by AI. Artificial Intelligence endeavours to simulate the
natural intelligence of human beings into machines, thus making them behave intelligently.
Thus, Artificial Intelligence aims to create Expert Systems, i.e., systems which display intelligent
behaviour, learn, demonstrate, explain and advice its users. AI also aims at implementing human
intelligence in machines by creating systems that can understand, think, learn and behave like
humans.
 Applications of AI:

The applications of Artificial Intelligence are endless. The technology can be applied to
different sectors and industries. AI is being tested and used in the health care industry

for dosing drugs, various other treatments, and also for surgical procedures in the
operating room.
Apart from the above important applications, AI has been dominant in various other fields
such as:
Artifical Intelligence
• Gaming Predictive Text-to- Image
Analytics Speech Recognition
Deep Speech- Machine
• Natural Language Processing Learning to-Text Vision
Machine Speech Vision
• Expert Systems Learning
• Vision Systems

• Speech Recognition Translation
Natural Language Data Expert Planning & Robotics
• Handwriting Recognition Processing (NLP) Extracion Systems Optimization

Thus, we may say that Artificial Intelligence is a field of science and technology based on
disciplines such as Computer Science, Biology, Psychology, Linguistics, Mathematics and
Engineering.
12.2.1 Machine Learning

Machine Learning is an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It focuses on providing
systems which enable the computer to automatically learn and improve without being explicitly
programmed. Learning from the previous tasks handled by the machine leads to better
intelligence with better response to new inputs and situations in the future. This is called
machine learning.

Machine Learning focuses on development of computer programs that can access data and use
it themselves and learn from it.
