Introduction
Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines by mimicking the unique cognitive abilities of the human mind, which include learning, perceiving, reasoning, processing, problem solving and adapting.
Thanks to our Science-fiction movies and novels, most people understand the term “artificial intelligence” as some sort of robot with super-human characteristics like Terminator or some evil machine which has a mind of its own. But this is just an exaggeration to say the least.

In reality Artificial Intelligence (AI) is more common than we care to notice. Any function, process or activity done by a machine, be it your computer, mobile, iPad or any other device which tries to imitate the human intellectual abilities is a product of AI. Now this means that from your SIRI/Alexa to your GPS systems, from self driving Cars to playing chess on a laptop/phone, from your face recognition/voice recognition to data processing, all these find roots in AI.
AI can be categorized into two types
- Weak AI or narrow AI
- Strong AI OR general AI
Weak or narrow AI refers to systems which are designed to carry out specific tasks or functions, whereas Strong or general AI refers to the systems which are designed and capable of performing various functions covering a broader scope. The more a system or machine is capable of performing functions with human cognitive abilities, the stronger it is said to be.
Application of AI
Today AI has its application in almost all the fields, and hence has become an integral part of progress and development in any industry. Some industries where AI is often used are
-
Healthcare
Ranging from various machines used for scanning, to the extensive databases used for maintaining the records and information of patients, AI clearly finds its uses in the healthcare sector.
-
Business
Multinational companies required to perform thousands of recurring tasks and algorithms have used AI in the best of ways. Chat bots on websites, Data Analytics, automated service systems are all a part of AI.
-
Software Industry
Earlier the software industry, mostly revolved around the functioning of mobiles/computers. But today the scope and activities that the software industries encompass is incomprehensible. This continuous development in software industry gives us a clear indication of the demand and need of AI.
-
Automated vehicles
There cannot be a better example to demonstrate the applicability of AI than smart cars and automated vehicles. The advancement in AI has led to the creation of driverless cars or what you call self driving cars. Every function of such vehicles portrays the abilities and self-sufficiency of AI.
-
Government
The maintenance of ever-changing databases of innumerable people may seem like an impossible task, but AI has made this much easier and convenient. And not just this, but also the problems of verification and identification can be easily solved by the brilliant technologies of Biometrics, facial-recognition systems, etc.
-
Banking
Banks have been using artificial neural networks for a long time and with more and more advancements in AI, it has now become even stronger and widespread. Even Share Markets employ AI to keep up with the fluctuations and changes that happen every minute.
These are just a few applications, in reality the uses of AI are boundless in today’s times.
AI is an ever-changing, dynamic and endless creation and it would not be wrong to conclude that this is also the mightiest form of technology that we humans have ever witnessed.
