AI – key concepts

AI has many definitions based on the nature of its techniques, its usage, and also the timeline of its research. However, the most common definition is as follows—AI is the intelligence and capability exhibited by a computer to perceive, learn, and solve problems, with minimal probability of failure.

The ability of AI to compute and achieve results within a shorter period of time than humans has made computers the cornerstone of automation across various industries. The computational work of humans is often prone to errors, is time-consuming, and exhibits diminishing accuracy as the problem gets harder to solve. However, computers have been able to fill this role for a long time, from the early beginnings of automation that can be observed in many passive forms in our daily life. One of the best examples of such automation is the introduction of Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which converts embedded text in an image or document into a text source...
