What is Artificial Intellegence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert systems, natural language processing (NLP), and speech recognition and machine vision.
Using the definition above, brain storm a list of items that use AI to make peoples everyday life easier.
Let's Take a Closer Look
Machine Learning
Machine learning is a branch of AI that aims to give machines the ability to learn a task without pre-existing code.
To do this, machines are given a large amount of trial examples for a certain task. As they go through these trials, machines learn and adapt their strategy to achieve those goals.

Machine Learning Experiments
Google Quick Draw! is a perfect example of machine learning. Using a machine-learning algorithm it tries to guess the drawing. Millions of people have played the game contributing over 50 million drawings to the app. The more it is played the more accurate the machine will become.
You can train your camera and microphone to recognize objects, sounds, and poses. Try it for yourself at the link below.
Deep Learning
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning in artificial intelligence (AI) that has networks capable of learning unsupervised from data that is unstructured or unlabeled.
Deep learning is used in Natural Language Processing and voice recognition applications. This can also be used to analyse emotion and sentiment.

Deep Learning Experiments
MixLab is a good example of a deep learning application that recognizes your voice commands and follows your instructions to create music. Try it out at the link below.
Mystery Animal is another example of deep learning. This application requires you to ask 20 yes or no questions to determine what type of animal it is. This application will answer your question and add conversational statements to its yes or no answer. Try it at the link below
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)
ANN is the foundation for deeper learning. ANN is a multi-layer fully-connected neural net. That consists of an input layer, multiple hidden layers, and an output layer. Every node in one layer is connected to every other node in the next layer. We make the network deeper by increasing the number of hidden layers.

Reflection
- What is the most interesting thing you learned about AI and why is it interesting to you?
- Considering what you have learned brainstorm a list of industries that AI applications can be used in. Include an example of how it is or may be used in each industry.
- Predict what the next big development in AI might be.
- Would you consider a career in AI? Why or why not?
