 Introduction

Artificial Intelligence makes machines intelligent to think intelligently, make correct decisions, and perform intelligent information processing.

Artificial intelligence came into existence with the thought that the time would come when machines would be able to think the same way as humans. Instead, artificial intelligence is evolving and automating the work of industries.

Artificial Intelligent algorithms are used to do Systematic Planning, Conceptual Reasoning, Data Analytics, and Predicting trends hidden in the data to interpret useful information. These algorithms are based on mathematical statistics and probability.

The accuracy of Artificial Intelligent algorithms depends on the accuracy of data interpretation. This is because artificial intelligence algorithms have the capability of processing voluminous data. The higher the accuracy of data processing higher the probability of predicted trends will be closer to the actual results. To achieve this, optimized use of statistics and mathematics is required.

Example data sets are used to train Artificial Intelligence Algorithms. Based on the training of artificial intelligence algorithms, its classification is done. The most commonly used method is hit-and–try. Artificial Intelligent algorithms are used in medical sciences to create drugs. The drugs are created by systematically analyzing medical data and revealing useful hidden patterns. This is done with the use of hit-and-try methods. This hit-and-try method has a well-defined continuum to obtain desired results. These results are recorded to be used to predict future trends.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are used to process processes in human spoken language and make decisions. These decisions are based on predefined rules. When the program is fed with most of the rules used to process human spoken language, this program becomes a generalization used to process human spoken language.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are categorized to solve problems. This categorization is done based on problem-solving techniques. Based on these techniques, algorithms are categorized as special-purpose and general-purpose.

Special-purpose problem-solving techniques solve targeted problems within the domain of the packaging industry. General-purpose problem-solving techniques are used to control different mechanical types of equipment.

Further classification of Artificial Intelligence algorithms includes, namely, classifiers and controllers. Classifiers algorithms process input data using defined criteria. Artificial Intelligence algorithms that classify the given input are trained on large datasets. The more example dataset they process, the more accurately they classify the input.

Controller artificial intelligence algorithms control the process using a defined set of instructions. Controller algorithms work in association with classification algorithms. First, the classification algorithms classify the given input based on these classifications. Then, the artificial controller algorithms take appropriate actions.

The reasoning is done to draw conclusions to be used to make decisions. The reasoning is categorized into two types – Inductive Reasoning and Deductive Reasoning. In Inductive reasoning, conclusions are drawn based on the instances. In deductive reasoning, conclusions are drawn based on specific instances.

Artificial Intelligence also uses formal Logic. Formal Logic is used to represent information and solve problems. The Logic used by artificial intelligence can be categorized as – Propositional Logic, First-Order Logic, Fuzzy Logic, and Subjective Logic.

Propositional Logic refers to statements that are either true or false. First-order Logic is used to reflect facts related to an Object. The facts can be the characteristics and relationships that exist between characteristics. Fuzzy Logic is used to categorize the statement either as true or false. Fuzzy Logic is used to deal with uncertain results/situations/data. Fuzzy logic applications can be found in Quantum Computers. Another type of Logic is Subjective Logic. Subjective Logic can be used to deal with uncertain results.

Artificial Intelligence is also used to develop machines that can perceive their surroundings/environments. Thus artificial intelligence algorithms are used to build machines that can scan and perform analysis of the objects present in the environment/surroundings. For example, today, cars are developed that perceive their environment and decide to open the gate or keep it locked.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are developed that can be used to process information by understanding natural language. For example, artificial intelligence algorithms exist to recognize faces and different facial gestures. These algorithms can read the mood of the person by reading facial gestures.

Artificial Intelligence Algorithms are developed that analyze Objects and develop relationships between objects. To do this, humans use neurons that exist in the brain. Artificial Intelligence tries to reflect the neuron structure that exists in the brain. In Artificial Intelligence, this is done by developing artificial neurons that possess the same characteristics as human brain neurons, known as artificial neurons. These artificial neurons are connected to build Artificial Neural Networks.

In Artificial Intelligence, neural networks are developed that can be used to process information and develop relationships that exist between data. In addition, artificial Neural Networks are adaptive and can process new information to produce useful information.

An artificial Neural Network consists of an Input Layer, Hidden Layer, and Output Layer. The Input Layer processes the input and forwards it to the hidden layer, and the hidden layers process the input and forward it to the output layer. Finally, the output layer produces the output. Artificial Neural Network works on supervised learning algorithms. The Supervised Learning Algorithms work in association with the Classification Algorithms. The artificial neural network processes the input and classifies the input based on the criteria defined in the supervised learning algorithm. The output is obtained from the Output Layer.

Influence of Artificial Intelligence

The influence of artificial intelligence can be seen in different sectors such as Genetic Programming, Data Mining, Pattern Recognition, and Expert Systems.

In genetic programming, algorithms evolve by mutating and performing crossovers. This process is done by mutating algorithms to find the desired results over many generations. The process is the same as that of humans evolving over some time. The fittest gene evolves.

For large datasets, data mining is used. Data mining is a process using which large amounts of data is processed to produce useful information. For example, the data mining algorithms process large amounts of data, find patterns, and use them to predict the upcoming scenarios.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are also used to find patterns in the datasets. The identification of patterns is based on human expert-defined criteria or the basis of the statistical data obtained from previous processing of datasets.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are also used to process data by making decisions. For this expert, systems are developed. The expert systems imitate the decision-making ability of the human experts. Expert systems can make complex decisions the way human experts would. The expert system uses complex decision-making algorithms and nested if-then-else structures to do expert rezoning.

The software industry uses Artificial Intelligence Use Artificial Intelligence algorithms to build different software applications. An example of artificial intelligence algorithms is building software that can mimic a child. This software can mimic the brain of the child. To do this, software experts have used neural networks.

Each node in this neural network is capable of making decisions. These nodes in artificial neural networks are adaptive and evolve as the processing continues. With each learning, neuron evolves. The decision-making process evolved with the increase in the number of neurons. The software is capable of recognizing objects and can differentiate objects. The software can identify the features of the objects and use them to make decisions. The software can find the mood of the software. The software can predict under what circumstances the child can be happy or the child can be angry, or the child can be scared. The software can evolve and learn from existing and new learning.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are developed that can process natural language. These algorithms can process human spoken words and pronounce words in a human voice. The software capable of speaking in human voice uses algorithms capable of converting human voice into waveforms. Deep learning algorithms are used to produce sounds using grammar rules and syntax of the language. This software is trained on large human voice sample datasets to produce human voices. Using this software, the voice of a person can be produced.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are also used to develop bionic limbs. The bionic limbs can interact with human brains and pick up the signal when the movement in the bionic limb has to be brought down. The bionic limb can receive signals from the brain and send signals to the brain. This is possible with machine learning algorithms that process information obtained from neurons and use the information to send and receive the signals to and from the brain.

Another use of artificial intelligence algorithms is to change the thinking of people. People’s thinking can be manipulated using genetic programming and artificial intelligence algorithms. Genetic programming can understand the structure of the DNA and use this structure to understand the qualities and characteristics of the person. It can predict how a person can feel, look, and taste using genetic programming.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are used in space research. In space research, a large volume of data is processed. Processing the large volume of space research data will take time. To reduce this processing time, artificial intelligence algorithms are used. The artificial intelligence algorithms process large volumes of data to find patterns. The identified patterns are then used to make decisions.
