Programming artificial intelligence: what is it about?
Programming artificial intelligence is the dream of many computer programmers. Many people are not really aware of what AI is, how artificial intelligence is abbreviated. We give you the most important information.
Artificial intelligence: what AI programming is really about
Most people probably think of artificial intelligence as a computer that has been programmed so that it can "think" independently, that is, it can make intelligent decisions and react.
- However, this idea is wrong. No computer and no machine can actually think - because this requires awareness. However, a computer has no consciousness. A computer can only do what a human is programming.
- Programming artificial intelligence is not about teaching a computer to think. Rather, it is programmed so that it is capable of learning. He should be able to solve concrete problems independently.
- This is also not about thinking, but about imitation. This also affects decisions. AI can weigh up options and then make a choice. However, she can only choose from the options that were previously programmed.
- Artificial intelligence can therefore only do what was previously given to the computer - but that is usually better, more precise and faster than humans.
- By the way: If you want to learn programming yourself, you will find helpful tips to get you started.
Programming artificial intelligence as needed
AI is already used in many areas today, for example in complex computer games, but also in everyday life.
- When programming AI, many departments play a role, not just computer science or mathematics. Philosophy, psychology, neurology and linguistics also flow into the development of AI.
- AI can be divided into neural and symbolic artificial intelligence. The former tries to simulate the structures and functions of the human brain. The latter is based on the respective problem and the result.
- In everyday life, AI is programmed and used in robotics, for example. It is programmed in such a way that it controls production processes or can simply take on household chores.
- Artificial intelligence is also used visually, for example in pattern analysis for facial or fingerprint recognition.
- Another step in the programming of artificial intelligence is knowledge-based systems. Specialist knowledge is fed into the programming. This allows the AI to make logical conclusions and thus independent answers to questions. However, these independent answers are only based on the knowledge that the AI is made available through programming.
