Unit 1- AI Reflection
Understanding AI: Domains and Applications
1. Define Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Ans: AI is a form of intelligence; a type of technology and a field of study. When a machine
possesses the ability to mimic human traits, i.e., make decisions, predict the future, learn and
improve on its own, it is said to have artificial intelligence.
In other words, you can say that a machine is artificially intelligent when it can accomplish tasks
by itself - collect data, understand it, analyse it, learn from it, and improve it.
AI theory and development of computer systems (both machines and software) are able to
perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.
2. How can AI be used as a tool to transform the world into a better place?
Ans: AI can be used to make the world better by improving productivity, healthcare, education,
and accessibility. AI systems can predict and solve critical problems like climate change, help
optimize resource use, enhance medical diagnosis with Computer Vision and NLP, improve
personalized education, and increase efficiency in various industries. AI can also aid in
monitoring environmental changes and managing large-scale social challenges like poverty and
food security.
3. Difference between the three domains of AI with respect to the types of data they use:
Ans: Depending on the type of data, we can divide AI into different domains:
a. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an AI domain
focused on textual data enabling machines to comprehend, generate, and manipulate human
language.
b. Computer Vision (CV): Computer Vision, is an AI domain works with videos and images
enabling machines to interpret and understand visual information.
c. Statistical Data: Statistical Data refers to statistical techniques to analyse, interpret and draw
insights from numerical/tabular data, statistical, and structured data to identify patterns and
draw insights from large datasets.
4. Separate the following areas based on the kinds of domains widely used in them:
a. Crop productivity: Statistical Data (for analyzing weather and yield data) and Computer
Vision (for pest detection).
b. Traffic regulation: Computer Vision (for monitoring and managing traffic).
c. Maps and navigation: Statistical Data (analyzing location data) and NLP (for voice-based
navigation commands).
d. Text editors and autocorrect: Natural Language Processing.
e. Identifying and predicting disease: Computer Vision (for medical imaging) and Statistical
Data (for analyzing patient data).
5. Name the different Applications of AI in our daily life.
Ans: Artificial Intelligence covers a broad range of domains and applications and is expected to
impact every field in the future.
The different Applications of AI in our daily life are:
• Face Unlock • Barcode and QR code scanners
• Google Lens • Image search in photo galleries.
• Augmented Reality filters in social • Music and Media streaming: Spotify,
media apps (like Snapchat, Instagram) NetFlix, or Youtube
• Smart Home • Smart Cars
• Video Games • Smart Drones
• Security and Surveillance • Banking and Finance:
• Healthcare • Navigation and Travel
• E-Commerce
• Smart Email
6. List some of the Real World Application.
Ans:
a) Google Maps and Ride – hailing application
Google Maps is a web-based service that provides accurate data on geographic regions and
locations all over the world. Google has added new features of google ride which compare ride
services and their pricing with alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit or
walking, in the Google Maps app.
b) Face detection (Virtual Filter, Face ID unlocking)
Biometrics are used in a facial recognition system to map facial traits from a photograph or
video. To identify a match, it compares the information to a database of known faces. Facial
recognition can aid in the verification of a person’s identification, but it also raises concerns
about privacy.
Face Lock in Smartphones: Smartphones nowadays come with the feature of face locks in which
the smartphone’s owner can set up his/her face as an unlocking mechanism for it. The front
camera detects and captures the face and saves its features during initiation. Next time onwards,
whenever the features match, the phone is unlocked.
c) Text editors on autocorrect and autocomplete
Autocorrect: This feature corrects any spelling mistakes made while typing.
Autocomplete: If a term has already been used, this function provides suggestions for
automatically finishing it. If you type ‘msword’ once, it will try to complete the sentence by
displaying msword on the next line if you type ‘ms’.
d) Smart assistants: Smart assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa recognize patterns in
speech, then infer meaning and provide a useful response.
e) Fraud and Risk Detection: Finance companies decided to bring in data scientists to rescue them
from bad debts and losses. Banking companies learned to divide and conquer data via customer
profiling, past expenditures, and other essential variables to analyse the probabilities of risk and
default. Moreover, it also helped them to push their banking products based on customer’s
purchasing power.
f) Medical Imaging: Medical imaging application doesn’t only create and analyse images, but also
helps doctors with their interpretation by reading and converting 2D scan images into interactive
3D models that enable medical professionals to gain a detailed understanding of a patient’s
health condition.
AI Project Cycle
7. Define AI project cycle. How it helps us?
Ans: AI project cycle is the cyclical process followed to complete an AI project.
AI project cycle helps us:
• to create better AI projects easily
• to create AI projects faster
• to understand the process
8. What are the various stages of Al Project Cycle?
I. Problem Scoping: Identify and define the problem. Example: Identifying how to improve crop
yield using AI.
II. Data Acquisition: Collecting the necessary data. Example: Gathering data on weather
conditions and pest attacks.
III. Data Exploration: Analyzing the data to find patterns. Example: Exploring how weather
impacts crop yield.
IV. Modeling: Creating a machine-learning model. Example: Building a model to predict the best
time for pesticide use.
V. Evaluation: Testing the model for accuracy. Example: Testing how well the model predicts
crop yields.
VI. Deployment: Implementing the AI solution. Example: Deploying an AI tool that gives real-
time suggestions to farmers.
