Where is the rest of our team Mou? Should we start without them?

So, I will start with the basic difference between a human and a machine. While a human brain has a great sense of logic and thinking capability, a machine on the other hand is high on memory,something which we kinda lack or say, we aren't able to apply it efficiently. To illustrate this further,we all have gone through the experience of trying to learn everything a day before the exam and then being able t retain say about 20-30% of it only? A computer does not have this problem and memory is a pretty cheap resource with the technology we have today. So we can say artificial intelligence is a way by which we intend on utilizing this asset that we enjoy in case of a computer or machine.

I guess rather then focussing only on the present aspect of AI,we should make a motion which spans through the Past,Prsent and the future of AI

@FlightofTheEagle-I agree! Lets go for it!

Posting a few examples of AI of the present and also illustrating how successful they have been.

1. DeepBlue: A computer by ibm that was majorly designed as a chess playing one. It defeated the then world champion, Garry Kasparov in 1996 and also in 1997. In the former year, it played a 6-game match with him and could win only one (the first match) while Garry won 3 matches and 2 were draws. So it was heavily upgraded and in the following year, it won game 6, defeating Garry in the match.

2. Watson: The question-answering computer that won the popular American Quiz show, Jeopardy. Further highlighting the win is the fact that it enjoyed a clear win against the former winners of the game, Bard Retter and Jen Kennings in 2011. It had access to approximately 4 terabytes of data including all of Wikipedia's but it did not have connection to the internet during the game. Indisputably outperforming humans in the game, this artificially intelligent machine is a proof of the logical capabilities and the power 'Cognitive computing', a term closely knit with 'Machine Learning'.

Another fascinating thing about this computer is its capability to understand and interpret natural language, the language that we use rather than having to use computer language. This advantage has lead to ibm announcing a Watson API that we can include in our software based applications for 'intelligent' solution to the problems.

Machine learning: "Machine learning" means that a system improves on a particular task, according to a quantifiable measure, as a function of time. Carnegie Mellon's Tom Mitchell, a professor of Computer Science and an expert in the subfield of machine learning, defines it as follows:

A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measure by P, improves with experience E. For a computer program, to "learn from experience E" is to learn from data: computer programs can't "experience" human language use directly, for instance, but written or communication can be digitized and datafied for them, as we've seen.Machine learnig, because it does involve improvement in performance over time"is obviously relevant to the broader vision of AI as creating machines with human-like (or greater than human-like) intelligence.

For examples,in case of IBM's DeepBlue,while the computer lost its initial matches with Garry in 1997,the later matches all fell invariably in its favour, a clear-cut proof of how the computer learns from its opponent's moves,his shortcomings and also the verdicts of the previous games with him.

Artificial intelligence: The oxford English dictionary defines Artificial intelligence as an area of study concerned with making computers copy intelligent human behaviour.

Cognitive Computing:

the term cognitive computing has been used to refer to new hardware and/or software that mimics the functioning of the human brain and helps to improve human decision-making.
