Whenever a machine completes tasks based on a set of stipulated rules that solve problems (algorithms), such an “intelligent” behavior is what is called artificial intelligence.

AI-powered machines are usually classified into two groups — general and narrow. The general artificial intelligence AI machines can intelligently solve problems, like the ones mentioned above. The narrow intelligence AI machines can perform specific tasks very well, sometimes better than humans — though they are limited in scope.

Major Areas

Robotic Process Automation

Machines programmed to perform high-volume, repeatable tasks normally performed by humans that can also adapt to changing circumstances.

Machine Vision

The science of making computers see. Machines capture and analyze visual information using a camera and analog-to-digital conversion, and digital signal processing

Machine Learning

The science of getting a machine to act without programming. Deep learning can be thought of as the automation of predictive analytics.

Natural Language Processing

The processing of human language by computer programs. Examples: span detection,text translation, sentiment analysis, and speech recognition.

Robotics

The field of engineering focused on the design and manufacture of robots. Robots are often used to perform tasks that are difficult for humans to perform or perform consistently.

Major Application Areas

• Automated transportation
• Cyborg technology - overcome or assist in cognitive and physical limitations.
• Taking over dangerous jobs
• Using big data to help solve climate change
• Robots as companions and assistants
• Explore frontiers of space and oceans
