M1 - Lesson 1: Core concepts of AI Flashcards
What is artificial intelligence?
Machines performing tasks that normally require human intelligence
Commonly referred to as AI
Who proposed a test to determine machine intelligence in the 1950s?
Alan Turing
Turing developed the Turing Test to assess if a machine can produce humanlike responses.
What are the hallmarks of human intelligence?
- Ability to think creatively
- Consider various possibilities
- Keep a goal in mind while making short-term decisions
These traits differentiate human intelligence from machine intelligence.
What are the common elements in definitions of artificial intelligence?
- Technology
- Autonomy
- Human involvement
- Output
These elements help clarify what constitutes AI.
Define technology in the context of artificial intelligence.
Use of technology and specified objectives for the technology to achieve
Technology is crucial for AI to function effectively.
What does autonomy refer to in artificial intelligence?
Level of autonomy by the technology to achieve defined objectives
Autonomy indicates how independently a machine can operate.
What role does human involvement play in artificial intelligence?
Need for human input to train the technology and identify objectives for it to follow
Human oversight is essential for effective AI development.
What is the expected output of artificial intelligence technology?
- Performing tasks
- Solving problems
- Producing content
The output is a direct measure of AI’s effectiveness.
True or False: A machine is considered intelligent if it can produce responses that fool a human interviewer.
True
This is the essence of the Turing Test.
Fill in the blank: A branch of computer science concerned with creating technology to do things that normally require _______.
[human intelligence]
This defines the primary focus of artificial intelligence.
What is the process of training machines to display AI behavior called?
Machine learning
Machine learning is a key component in the development of artificial intelligence systems.
What are the three main types of machine learning?
- Supervised learning
- Unsupervised learning
- Reinforcement learning
Each type has distinct methods and applications in AI.
What is supervised learning?
A type of machine learning using labeled data to classify or group information
Common applications include text recognition and email spam detection.
Give an example of supervised learning.
Email filtering using a labeled dataset of spam and legitimate emails
The algorithm learns to identify patterns to predict future emails.
What is unsupervised learning?
A type of machine learning using unlabeled data for pattern detection
It is often used to identify outliers or anomalies in datasets.
