 Artificial intelligence.. what is it? What are its most prominent manifestations?

The term "artificial intelligence" has become so widely used that some are beginning to worry that it could mean the dominance of machines and the decline of the human role, although the reality is still far from this notion. So what is artificial intelligence? What is its main performance? And where is its development?

Artificial intelligence is defined as the intelligence displayed by machines and programs that mimic human mental abilities and working patterns, such as the ability to learn, reason, and respond to situations not programmed into the machine. Capacity. It is also an academic name relating to the method of making computers and programs capable of intelligent behavior.

Senior researchers define artificial intelligence as "the study and design of intelligent systems that can sense their environment and take action to increase their chances of success," while John McCarthy – who coined the term in 1955 - define it as "Science and Engineering". Making "Smart Machine".

In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence technology has made a great leap forward, and "deep learning" technology is its most prominent embodiment. It is developed based on artificial neural networks that emulate the way the human brain works, which means they are able to experiment, learn and evolve on their own without human intervention.

And "deep learning" technology has proven its ability to recognize images, understand speech and translate one language into another, attracting US companies in Silicon Valley, notably Facebook and Google, To invest in it and strengthen research, ignore warnings that the development of artificial intelligence could put humanity at risk.

Fear

In late 2014, the late physicist Stephen Hawking said that the full development of artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of humanity, warning that machines have the ability to redesign themselves.

Microsoft founder and former chairman Bill Gates also declared in 2015 that he wanted robots to remain somewhat stupid, saying "I'm in the camp of people who are concerned with superintelligence."

In the same year, American inventor and investor Elon Musk described artificial intelligence as one of the greatest threats to the existence of humanity and compared the development of intelligent machines to "summoning the devil".

Musk (founder of the SpaceX commercial space rocket project, Tesla electric car) and others are pouring millions of dollars into research to discover the potential risks of artificial intelligence and ways to combat them.

develop slowly

On the other hand, some experts believe that artificial intelligence technology will not pose any risk to mankind, including Joshua Bengio, a Canadian professor of computer science at the University of Montreal. To what extent worries analysts, as its Development is based on science and ideas that are still in their infancy.

Bengio insisted that it was no surprise that AI came to its intended form, that is, it was not compared to discovering supernatural magic formulas, as he said. The production of integrated artificial intelligence systems still requires the development of modern science and the creation of new ones, that is - in other words - none will come out. Scientists with smart technology will change the world overnight, like shown in a science fiction movie.

leap to the future

On the other hand, artificial intelligence technology is developing very rapidly and is becoming more complex every year. Geoffrey Hinton, a researcher in the field of artificial intelligence at Google and the University of Toronto, believes that within five years machines will be equal to human intelligence. , Now.

Hinton is behind the development of Google's intelligent program "Alvago", which beat a world champion at the game of "Go", but he believes we should not fear artificial intelligence, as any new technology can be misused. Intimidating as it may be, the question for him is how do we deal with it. Use technology in such a way that humans are not harmed.

Google and Facebook are leaders in the field of artificial intelligence technology. This technology has helped Google develop its services significantly, for example – thanks to this technology – Android phones can understand their users' commands, as well as phrases written in foreign languages on road signs. simultaneously, and the technology also helps support the Google search engine, the company's most flagship product.

For Facebook, deep learning enables the social network to recognize faces in photos, select appropriate content and display it to users on News Feed pages, powering features such as Facebook's personal digital assistant(m).

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google's parent company Alphabet, believes the era of the smartphone is coming to an end and will be replaced by artificial intelligence that allows instant access to essential information, while Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes is that device

One day artificial intelligence will be able to enjoy the human senses. More like looking and feeling than humans themselves.
