FAQs
What is the difference between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)?
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are related technologies each with their own unique meaning.
AI is the wider field of intelligent machine development that usually requires human input.
Artificial Intelligence is how systems that can learn, reason, understand, recognize, and make human-like decisions are either similar to or better than humans.
Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of AI that is used for statistical models and algorithms that let computers learn and improve from data it’s fed without having to be programmed.
Machine Learning is based on a training model across large data sets that are used to detect patterns and to predict based on these patterns.
Who invented Artificial Intelligence?
The development of AI started way back in the 1950s with several researchers, engineers, and scientists contributing various elements to get to what we know today as AI.
So, there is no one person who created AI.
However, some of the scientists, engineers, and researchers involved include Herbert A. Simon, Allen Newell, John McCarthy, and Marvin Minsky who were collectively instrumental in forming the foundational elements of what we know as Artificial Intelligence today.
Can Artificial Intelligence totally replace humans?
It’s unlikely that Artificial Intelligence will ever totally replace humans even though there may be jobs lost to AI in the near future.
However, along with that, it gives people ample time to upskill and get training to work in the new AI driven workplace where it’s needed.
What is likely to happen is that people will come to heavily rely more on AI for decision-making, routine tasks, and menial tasks, but we humans will always retain our own abilities to think critically and react to complicated circumstances through our own insight and perceptions.
What are the different forms of AI?
Artificial Intelligence comes in a variety of forms.
Forbes says there are four unique categories of AI/AI-based systems which include the following:
1. Reactive Machines
2. Limited Memory Machines
3. “Theory of min” AI
4. Self-aware AI systems
What does the future of AI look like?
Generally, AI has a promising future ahead if the most recent advancements in more efficient, sophisticated, and functional Artificial Intelligence applications.
We must realize that AI is going to grow and evolve over the next few years.
Conclusion
As per the data, we can surmise that the adoption of Artificial Intelligence will continue to climb over the next several years.
We also know that there are several challenges and issues to overcome as AI takes its place in the workspace.
There is still speculation among experts that more jobs will be lost than created, but the statistics tell a different story.
Naturally, one of the things that must be overcome is the training of employees to help them adapt to their new roles.
Also, not all employees will be on board with these new changes, which is another challenge to be expected.
As for AI taking over the world and humans like a Sci-Fi movie, that’s unlikely, but it’s up to individual speculation.
Overall, we hope you feel more enlightened by the Artificial Intelligence statistics we shared with you in this article.
