Artificial intelligence is a vast topic and all its history and development started after studying the human brain itself. Artificial Intelligence has majorly two parts namely Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Machine Learning means learning or providing the result based on previously fed data. While Deep Learning is based on learning on its own by suitable computer algorithms. These largely depends on neural networks which holds the key on how good decisions can be made based on deep learning. The most common example of deep learning is the chess program. These days many uses of AI has evolved be it related to security like Face, Fingerprint recognition or be it NLP i.e Natural Language Processing or be it Generative AI which is the most common form of AI today.
But how deep learning works. Lets understand this by the example of a chess game. Chess has a board in which there are two teams. Both the teams has a score based on the no of pieces and their position at the board before any move. So using deep learning the chess algorithm decides in all probable conditions to depth n that which route will have the best score. On that basis it plays the next move corresponding to that route. This is how the computer plays chess. There are many usages of deep learning and even specialized neural networks for accomplising vivid tasks. Computer games, etc are some of its usages.
Now lets see how machine learning operates. In machine learning various data corresponding to a situation is fed to the machine which has the outcomes too. On the basis of the required outcome the machine determines which data decision needs to be taken. Generative AI prompt is an example of machine learning which is very common. There are lots of the other usages of machine learning which includes face recognition, biometrics etc. Robotics had been one of the most prominent outcomes of AI.
Robotics uses both machine learning and deep learning basically depending on the situation. It most prominently mimics the human brain which too is based on the same principle. But can consciousness be generated using AI. On higher research it is found that consciousness is not a function of the human brain hence for AI itself it is not possible to generate consciousness. But machines with their accuracy in computing can definitely someday become more capable than humans and many usages of them can already be seen, be it related to self driving cars or space programmes or anything else.
Artificial Intelligence is still in early stages and only time will tell where it will lead in upcoming times.
