Artificial intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging component of computer science, which tries to make computers more intelligent. Hence, Machine Learning is one of the most rapidly emerging parts of AI. Machine Learning algorithms were designed since the past and used to analyze large datasets in medical field. Presently, Machine Learning algorithms serve as indispensable tools for data analysis.

It can be regarded as the most rapidly growing field, which integrates intersection of computer science and statistics, involving use of AI and data science. In this chapter, we focus on various Machine Learning algorithms, which can be used for classification of EEG datasets into two groups, namely Alzheimer’s disease and healthy groups. It can be concluded that progression in advanced computing and AI, medical analysis, and classification of data is become simpler and easy.


What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI is an interdisciplinary science with multiple approaches, but advancements in machine learning and deep learning are creating a paradigm shift in virtually every sector of the tech industry.


HOW IS AI USED?

Artificial intelligence generally falls under two broad categories:

Narrow AI: Sometimes referred to as "Weak AI," this kind of artificial intelligence operates within a limited context and is a simulation of human intelligence. Narrow AI is often focused on performing a single task extremely well and while these machines may seem intelligent, they are operating under far more constraints and limitations than even the most basic human intelligence.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): AGI, sometimes referred to as "Strong AI," is the kind of artificial intelligence we see in the movies, like the robots from Westworld or Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. AGI is a machine with general intelligence and, much like a human being, it can apply that intelligence to solve any problem.

Artificial Intelligence Examples

  • Smart assistants (like Siri and Alexa)
  • Disease mapping and prediction tools
  • Manufacturing and drone robots
  • Optimized, personalized healthcare treatment recommendations
  • Conversational bots for marketing and customer service
  • Robo-advisors for stock trading
  • Spam filters on email
  • Social media monitoring tools for dangerous content or false news
  • Song or TV show recommendations from Spotify and Netflix

Narrow Artificial Intelligence

Narrow AI is all around us and is easily the most successful realization of artificial intelligence to date. With its focus on performing specific tasks, Narrow AI has experienced numerous breakthroughs in the last decade that have had "significant societal benefits and have contributed to the economic vitality of the nation," according to "Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence," a 2016 report released by the Obama Administration.

A few examples of Narrow AI include:

  • Google search
  • Image recognition software
  • Siri, Alexa and other personal assistants
  • Self-driving cars
  • IBM's Watson 
  • Machine Learning & Deep Learning
