How does Artificial Intelligence Work?
There are various forms of artificial intelligence (AI) out there today. It is a tough question what to even call an artificial intelligence and what to merely call a software program. There is a tendency in software, where when something that used to be called “AI” matures and integrates itself into the technological backdrop, it doesn’t get called AI anymore. The programmers of the 1950s might call numerous embedded software in our world “artificial intelligence” – for example, the microchip in your car that regulates fuel injection, or the database at the supermarket which stores records of all sales, or the Google search engine. But the field that calls itself “Artificial Intelligence” tends to be slightly different than the much larger group of “software developers in general”. AI researchers tend to be looking at more complex, adaptive, capable, or even vaguely human-like forms of software. Workers in artificial intelligence also tend to be interdisciplinary and well-versed in ar
Artificial Intelligence is set up through a series of algorithms. By definition, if it can make decisions for its self and it isn’t biological, it’s artificial intelligence. Therefore, the current artificial intelligence, also known as UAI (Unrefined Artificial Intelligence) works throught If and Then statements in programing. If this thing happens then do this. This allows to let the program think for its self on a basic level. However, if I wanted to make RAI (Refined Artificial Intelligence), this would be a lot harder. So hard, that it has been researched for multiple years and there is no to it yet. You could either create a program with over an octillion if and then statements, or you could create a program that resembles the human mind.
There are many different approaches to Artificial Intelligence, none of which are either completely right or wrong. Some are obviously more suited than others in some cases, but any working alternative can be defended. Over the years, trends have emerged based on the state of mind of influencial researchers, funding opportunities as well as available computer hardware. Over the past five decades, AI research has mostly been focusing on solving specific problems. Numerous solutions have been devised and improved to do so efficiently and reliably. This explains why the field of Artificial Intelligence is split into many branches, ranging from Pattern Recognition to Artificial Life, including Evolutionary Computation and Planning. Show me!
