digital society 3.6 AI

Weak/narrow Al

Artificial intelligence that has a limited function or can only perform a specific task.

Domain-specific Al

Artificial intelligence that perform tasks better than humans in certain domains.

Strong Al

Artificial intelligence that can develop consciousness and make decisions better than humans.

Super Al

Artificial intelligence that surpasses human intelligence.

Singularity

a hypothetical point in time when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, leading to unpredictable and potentially rapid technological advancements

Expert system

A computer system that acts like a human expert in a specific subject area.

Knowledge base

Facts and rules in an expert system

Inference engine

The part of an expert systems that uses programmed rules to interpret and evaluate the facts in the knowledge base.

Supervised learning

the system is trained with known outputs and the algorithm is adjusted until it can produce the correct output for unseen inputs.

Unsupervised learning

to analyse data to find hidden patterns that cannot be noticed by a human observer. The algorithms use cluster analysis, which looks for ways to group the data.

Reinforced learning

This type of machine learning is based on rewarding positive behaviour. The algorithm is trained by rewarding the system if it performs correctly and gives a penalty if it performs incorrectly. The software agent makes decisions to maximize its reward and keep adapting to the environment.

Deep learning

A neural network that consists of more than three layers

Natural language processing

to teach a computer to understand human language (uses: text analysis, plagiarism detection, text generation, translation, text correction)

Image recognition

to understand what is in a picture so that it can describe the picture and the image can become more searchable

Voice and sound recognition

analysing patterns of sound that can be converted into text and applied to natural language processing.

Cybernetics

The study of communication and control in both living things and machines, especially automatic control systems such as the human nervous system, and mechanical electrical communication systems.

Multiplicity

A future in which artificial intelligence and robots are developed to work alongside people, rather than to replace them.

Sentiment analysis

interpret someone's mood or intent using pattern recognition
