What is <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> (<abbr title="artificial-intelligence">AI</abbr>)‽
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you ask an <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> specialist that question, you will get a very different answer than if you ask a (non-specialist) normal person that same question!

<h2>Lay-Person <abbr title="artificial-intelligence">AI</abbr></h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A common way for normal people (who are <em>not</em> specialists in <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong>) to think about <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> is
|
|
—
|
|
to imagine an <em>artificial-brain</em> along with <em>humanoid robots</em>
|
|
—
|
|
robots that with 2 legs, 2 arms, a head, and the general form of a human, that walk and talk similar to a human.
|
|
I.e., an <strong>android</strong>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Although <strong>androids</strong> are definitely a type of <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong>
|
|
—
|
|
<strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> is broader than, and even includes things that are much much much simpler than, androids.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example
|
|
—
|
|
<strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> includes (simple) <strong>linear-regression</strong>, <strong>epsilon-greedy</strong>, and other things with names that sound just as weird as these if you are <em>not</em> (yet) familiar with <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> jargon.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
But more on that later
|
|
—
|
|
let's first explore the lay-person conception of <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> a bit more.
|
|
Let's look at <abbr title="science-fiction">sci-fi</abbr>
|
|
—
|
|
and in particular, <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong>, <strong>androids</strong>, and <strong>robots</strong> in <abbr title="science-fiction">sci-fi</abbr>.
