Artificial Intelligence and Applications

Documents throughout ancient history have showed signs of artificial intelligence as early as 4th century B.C. starting when Aristotle invented syllogistic logic, which was the first formal deductive reasoning system. But it wasn’t until 1956 that the term “Artificial Intelligence” emerged into existence. It was believed that the term was formed in a conference at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. As time goe s by, the development of Artificial Intelligence made way for people to discover more types of artificial intelligence. This discovery provided different solutions in order to solve complex problems that are difficult for a human to do since it aims to replicate the human intelligence or perhaps, or even exceeds human abilities in certain aspects (Spacey, 2016)The benefits of artificial intelligence also made way for different countries to develop their own inventions in order to support their needs economically and technologically. As the world unlocks the mystery of artificial intelligence; its abilities gave humans more understanding of its power in terms of language, learning and adaptiveness, problem solving, perception, modeling and, of course, the development of games and robots. Thus, the inventions and discoveries also has strengthened the risks as the world emerges into the modernization of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence enhanced human capabilities in different areas (Pannu, 2015). Its impact to human life gave way to its application in various aspects and fields such as: business and accounting, medicine, science and engineering and to the virtual games. The application of artificial intelligence in different aspects is widely used to solve complex problems and it plays an increasing role in research and operations. It even gives the inventions of machines an ability to think analytically using concepts (Pannu, 2015)However, the rapid growth of enhanced artificial intelligence gives the future a vague hope, as experts argue if machine intelligence is a bane or blessing (Deangelis, n.d). Enhancing artificial intelligence means that the world needs to adapt to the changes happening around them. As the transition into a more modern artificial intelligence takes place, more quickly than before, the world needs to embrace itself as artificial intelligence’s effects also rapidly grow. This means that it will also affect the economic growth of countries adapting to modern technology. Thus, this will also cover problems of humans versus machines. Is artificial intelligence enough to answer the problems of mankind in daily life or will it only worsen the situation as the world grows and adapts to the changes that the inventions made?Documents throughout ancient history have showed signs of artificial intelligence as early as 4th century B.C. starting when Aristotle invented syllogistic logic, which was the first formal deductive reasoning system.

This book aims to help readers understand the wonderful world of artificial intelligence, to enlighten readers about how to adapt as the world continuously takes the road of modernization though the use of artificial intelligence and of course, to unlock the potential of each one’s mind in developing various inventions that can be a future solution to different problems of mankind that until now cannot be solved.
