Machine Intelligence is the Last invention that humanity will ever need to make.

- Nick Bostrom

In simple words AI is the technology by which God Made humans šŸ˜® Not really;) but by which a human can make another non-living human i.e. By which we can convert a non-living being into a living. Nowadays Most businesses are AI driven i.e. they use Data Science(business aspect of AI) to make critical decisions about customers, products etc. Every Industry is adapting AI/ machine intelligence to make their work faster and more efficient. We can enhance our photoes or filter our photoes using apps like Snapchat, and Instagram. sometimes you get friend's suggestions on Instagram, Facebook, and Linkedin. You would definitely come across the fact of receiving notifications on Flipkart, Amazon, and Meesho about similar purchases you made before, and another fact of getting similar content on Youtube. Interesting right!! All of these things are made possible using AI.

Google Brain is Working extensively on building an alternative to ChatGPT with enhancing their AI assistants and adopting newer transformations in AI.

Microsoft Satya Nadela recently handed in with OpenAI to build the invention like OpenAI's ChatGPT is doing.

Elon Musk after his self-driving car innovation, building Neuralink Musk's neural-interface-technology company. It's developing a device that would be embedded in a person's brain, where it would record brain activity and potentially stimulate it.

Every day Technology is changing and new buzzwords are coming. but it's never too late to start your Journey. technologies that come under the name AI are Machine Learning, Data Science, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Reinforcement Learning. hence, by learning a single technique itself you can kickstart your AI journey.

Let's see each Buzzword's one-by-one:

Machine LearningšŸ“ˆ:

Machine learning is an important component of the growing field of data science. Through the use of statistical methods, algorithms are trained to make classifications or predictions and to uncover key insights in data mining projects. These insights subsequently drive decision-making within applications and businesses, ideally impacting key growth metrics. ML algorithms depend upon the data. so it's basically a crucial part of data science and plays a very important role to reach the conclusion and helps businesses to grow their customers by predictions from historical data. They will be required to help identify the most relevant business questions and the data to answer them.

ML is all about Fine-tuning, MATHS, and experimentation.

ML algorithms: Linear Regression, OLD, Logistic Regression/Binary Classification, Polynomial Regression, KNN regressor/classifier, Support vector Regressor/classifier, Decision tree regressor/classifier, ensemble techniques - Random Forest, Gradient & XgBoost, K-means clustering, Agglomerative & DBSCAN and many more...

Data SciencešŸ“Š:

Data Science is the Sexiest Job of the 21st Century.

Data science is the study of data to extract meaningful insights for business. It is a multidisciplinary approach that combines principles and practices from the fields of mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence, and computer engineering to analyze large amounts of data. This analysis helps data scientists to ask and answer questions like what happened, why it happened, what will happen, and what can be done with the results.

Data science is important because it combines tools, methods, and technology to generate meaning from data. Modern organizations are inundated with data; there is a proliferation of devices that can automatically collect and store information. Online systems and payment portals capture more data in the fields of e-commerce, medicine, finance, and every other aspect of human life. We have text, audio, video, and image data available in vast quantities.

It helps industries by discovering unknown transformative patterns using Descriptive, Diagnostic, Predictive, and Prescriptive Analysis, Innovating new products and solutions, Real-time optimization, etc.

Deep LearningšŸ§ :

Deep learning is a machine learning technique that teaches computers to do what comes naturally to humans: learn by example. Deep learning is a key technology behind driverless cars, enabling them to recognize a stop sign, or to distinguish a pedestrian from a lamppost. It is the key to voice control in consumer devices like phones, tablets, TVs, and hands-free speakers. Deep learning is getting lots of attention lately and for good reason. Itā€™s achieving results that were not possible before.

In deep learning, a computer model learns to perform classification tasks directly from images, text, or sound. Deep learning models can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy, sometimes exceeding human-level performance. Models are trained by using a large set of labeled data and neural network architectures that contain many layers.

Computer VisionšŸ’»šŸ‘:

Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images, videos and other visual inputs ā€” and take actions or make recommendations based on that information. If AI enables computers to think, computer vision enables them to see, observe and understand.

Computer vision works much the same as human vision, except humans have a head start. Human sight has the advantage of lifetimes of context to train how to tell objects apart, how far away they are, whether they are moving and whether there is something wrong in an image.

Computer vision trains machines to perform these functions, but it has to do it in much less time with cameras, data and algorithms rather than retinas, optic nerves and a visual cortex. Because a system trained to inspect products or watch a production asset can analyze thousands of products or processes a minute, noticing imperceptible defects or issues, it can quickly surpass human capabilities.

NLPšŸ’»šŸ—£:

the branch of artificial intelligence or AIā€”concerned with giving computers the ability to understand the text and spoken words in much the same way human beings can.

NLP combines computational linguisticsā€”rule-based modeling of human languageā€”with statistical, machine learning, and deep learning models. Together, these technologies enable computers to process human language in the form of text or voice data and to ā€˜understandā€™ its full meaning, complete with the speaker or writerā€™s intent and sentiment.

NLP drives computer programs that translate text from one language to another, respond to spoken commands, and summarize large volumes of text rapidlyā€”even in real time. Thereā€™s a good chance youā€™ve interacted with NLP in the form of voice-operated GPS systems, digital assistants, speech-to-text dictation software, customer service chatbots, and other consumer conveniences. But NLP also plays a growing role in enterprise solutions that help streamline business operations, increase employee productivity, and simplify mission-critical business processes.

Reinforcement LearningšŸ¤–:

Reinforcement Learning(RL) is a type of machine learning technique that enables an agent to learn in an interactive environment by trial and error using feedback from its own actions and experiences.

Though both supervised and reinforcement learning use mapping between input and output, unlike supervised learning where the feedback provided to the agent is the correct set of actions for performing a task, reinforcement learning uses rewards and punishments as signals for positive and negative behavior.

As compared to unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning is different in terms of goals. While the goal in unsupervised learning is to find similarities and differences between data points, in the case of reinforcement learning the goal is to find a suitable action model that would maximize the total cumulative reward of the agent.

That's all about the Technologies in AI.

So, Which technology you liked?? and you wanted to start your journey with??

šŸ¤”Still Confused, just waitāÆ further I'll cover the Job roles along with the skills that the industry looks for and if you aspire to get that job then you can grab these skillsets and break the ice in the industry.
