Introduction
In today’s fast-paced world, you must have heard about AI (artificial intelligence) at some point or the other. So in this blog we will learn about AI. What is AI? What are its benefits? Does it have any disadvantages? And how can it be useful for us?
what is AI ?
AI (artificial intelligence) means when we design a computer or a machine in such a way that it can think like a human, learn things, take decisions on its own and solve problems.
This technology gives machines the ability to think like humans so that they can do tasks:
- can learn (learning)
- think (reasoning)
- take decisions (Decision Making)
- can work without any human help (automation)
examples: DeepSeek, chatGPT, self driving cars, google assistant, alexa
How does AI(Artificial Intelligence) work?
1. Data collection
AI (artificial intelligence) needs a lot of data so that it can learn and give accurate results. If you make an AI, the more data you give to the AI, the more accurately it will work
Example: To understand AI(Artificial Intelligence), a lot of data related to that thing will be required, like photos.
2. AI Data training
After receiving the data, AI(artificial intelligence) is trained on it. In this process, the AI algorithm learns things like what happens due to a pattern, what results come from that pattern. In simple words, it learns and understands the pattern.
3. Algorithms
AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms are instructions. The algorithm teaches the AI to use the data it has. Patterns are taught to the AI so that it can think and take decisions like a human.
Types of algorithms
- Supervised learning: In this, AI is given the right answer with the data which it learns and when we ask it about it, it gives the right answer. For example, if you give two photos to your AI, in which one is the photo of earth and the other is the photo of moon, then along with the photos we also give it data through which it comes to know that this is moon and this is earth and when we ask it something related to it, it gives us the right result.
- Unsupervised Learning: In this we only give data to AI and we do not give it information about those things, just raw data. AI itself understands the data and divides it into groups.
- Reinforcement Learning: In this, AI cannot be understood or taught, it learns by itself from its experiences. It learns from its previous experiences and from this it makes itself capable and gives us more accurate results.
4. Output generation
In this process, we give input to AI(artificial intelligence) and AI gives us output based on its knowledge and data. AI understands which output will be better based on its knowledge.
5. Feedback Loop
AI(artificial intelligence) whenever someone makes a mistake, it learns from that mistake, it has this ability and updates itself so that it does not repeat the mistake again and learns in the same way which makes it even better
Uses of AI(Artificial Intelligence)
At present, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is proving very useful to humans and makes many difficult tasks easy. Its work is shown below
1. Uses in daily life
- Voice Assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa
- Face Unlock in smartphones
- YouTube, Netflix recommendations
- Smart home devices (AC, lights, etc.)
2. Business
- Chatbots for customer support
- Personalized ads on Google, Facebook
- Market trend analysis
- Sales forecasting
3. Healthcare
- Disease detection (Cancer, COVID-19)
- AI-based diagnosis tools
- Robotic surgeries
- Health monitoring apps & wearables
4. Auto industry & Transportation
- Self-driving cars (Tesla, Waymo)
- Traffic prediction (Google Maps)
- Smart public transport
- Flight scheduling
5. Entertainment
- Gaming bots & realistic NPCs
- AI in animation & movies
- Music & video recommendations (Spotify, YouTube)
- Script writing & editing using AI
6. Education
- Personalized learning (Duolingo, Khan Academy)
- AI tutors & virtual classrooms
- Auto grading of assignments
- Smart content creation
7. Security & Surveillance
- Face recognition cameras
- Fraud detection in banking
- Cybersecurity threat prediction
- Smart surveillance systems
Disadvantage of AI(artificial intelligence)
Just as we have seen the uses or benefits of AI (artificial intelligence), similarly there are some disadvantages of AI too which we will discuss in the points given below
1. job loss
- People can lose their jobs because of Artificial Intelligence
- Because of AI (Artificial Intelligence), work is now shifting towards automation, which is affecting people’s jobs a lot.
2. Errors
- If data is stored in AI (Artificial Intelligence), then it is not necessary that it gives you 100% correct information every time.
- If you trust AI (Artificial Intelligence) and it gives you wrong information, then you may face problems.
3. Privacy Issues
- There is a risk to privacy in face recognition and surveillance
- The risk of misuse of data also increases
4. Lack of Creativity
- AI works on data and algorithms
- AI still weak in emotional intelligence
5. Costly
- It is costly to create and maintain Artificial Intelligence.
- Not every business can afford it
6. Over-dependence on AI
- Because of AI(Artificial Intelligence) people are becoming more dependent on us
- Due to AI(Artificial Intelligence) people can lose their critical thinking and decision making
7. Security Threats
- This can lead to cyber attacks
- There is also a risk of DeepFake and AI generated fraud, which is a big problem
Future Of AI
Looking at today’s time, it seems that AI (artificial intelligence) will make a lot of progress in the future because even if seen today, AI is no less than a miracle which has been developed by humans and in the future the technology is going to advance even more, so it is obvious that in the future it will be upgraded to a great extent. It is difficult to imagine what work will be able to be done in the future but we can say this much that due to AI difficult problems will get solved like astrological problems.
Conclusion
So friends, in today’s blog we tried to know about AI (artificial intelligence). We saw how useful AI is for humans and in the coming time it will become even stronger which will make it even easier, but it can also cause some disadvantages to that thing, so what do you think about AI, do tell us in the comments.
