Understanding the world of AI : Part 1

A basic walk through on AI……..

What is AI?

AI are software programs that can detect patterns, predict future outcomes according to these patterns, and create new things similar to these patterns.

AI isn’t “guessing” — it’s calculating probabilities based on massive data. The more you use it, the better it gets (but it’s still a machine, not a mind reader).

So what AI does is

1. Learns pattern : AI creates a data (Vectors) on how a Dog looks like ( have ears, long tail, ears, long face , face shapes etc )
2. Compare New data with existing : You give a Image it compares it with the saved data and finds the simlarity between the data it saved before to tell if its a Dog or Not
3. eg if you give a tigers pics it checks do dogs have stripe , do dogs have round face , and this comparison fails and the AI says its not a Dog

How AI is able to detect pattern?

End of the day, In Programming world everything is just numbers. What AI does is it convert this data into numbers (vectors) and represent it in a space ( Example points in a graph). This spaces can be multi dimensional from 1D to as much as 700D )

so for example if we consider words in 1D vector space that spreads between -1 and 1 , cake will have value of 1 and car will have value of -1. and more words that are closer to cake, like cream, bread…
