He also assisted in the establishment of CMU's world-class centers such as those for language research and software development. Raj was an early promoter of computing beyond computer sciences and inspired thousands of students. Raj was also a pioneer in research and teaching, as well as founding K2T robotics which was later bought by Google.
FAQ
AI is useful for what?
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that simulates intelligent behavior for practical applications, such as robotics and natural language processing.
AI can also be called machine learning. This refers to the study of machines learning without having to program them.
AI is being used for two main reasons:
-
To make your life easier.
-
To accomplish things more effectively than we could ever do them ourselves.
A good example of this would be self-driving cars. AI can replace the need for a driver.
Which industries use AI more?
Automotive is one of the first to adopt AI. BMW AG uses AI, Ford Motor Company uses AI, and General Motors employs AI to power its autonomous car fleet.
Other AI industries include insurance, banking, healthcare, retail and telecommunications.
Which countries are currently leading the AI market, and why?
China is the leader in global Artificial Intelligence with more than $2Billion in revenue in 2018. China's AI market is led by Baidu. Tencent Holdings Ltd. Tencent Holdings Ltd. Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. Xiaomi Technology Inc.
China's government invests heavily in AI development. The Chinese government has established several research centres to enhance AI capabilities. These include the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, the State Key Lab of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems, and the State Key Laboratory of Software Development Environment.
China is also home to some of the world's biggest companies like Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and Xiaomi. These companies are all actively developing their own AI solutions.
India is another country that is making significant progress in the development of AI and related technologies. India's government is currently working to develop an AI ecosystem.
How does AI work?
It is important to have a basic understanding of computing principles before you can understand how AI works.
Computers store information on memory. Computers process data based on code-written programs. The code tells the computer what it should do next.
An algorithm refers to a set of instructions that tells a computer how it should perform a certain task. These algorithms are usually written as code.
An algorithm is a recipe. A recipe might contain ingredients and steps. Each step might be an instruction. A step might be "add water to a pot" or "heat the pan until boiling."
Is Alexa an AI?
Yes. But not quite yet.
Amazon developed Alexa, which is a cloud-based voice and messaging service. It allows users interact with devices by speaking.
The technology behind Alexa was first released as part of the Echo smart speaker. However, similar technologies have been used by other companies to create their own version of Alexa.
These include Google Home, Apple Siri and Microsoft Cortana.
Who is the current leader of the AI market?
Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that studies the creation of intelligent machines capable of performing tasks normally performed by humans. It includes speech recognition and translation, visual perception, natural language process, reasoning, planning, learning and decision-making.
Today, there are many different types of artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning, neural networks, expert systems, evolutionary computing, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, rule-based systems, case-based reasoning, knowledge representation and ontology engineering, and agent technology.
There has been much debate about whether or not AI can ever truly understand what humans are thinking. But, deep learning and other recent developments have made it possible to create programs capable of performing certain tasks.
Google's DeepMind unit, one of the largest developers of AI software in the world, is today. Demis Hashibis, who was previously the head neuroscience at University College London, founded the unit in 2010. DeepMind was the first to create AlphaGo, which is a Go program that allows you to play against top professional players.
