Artificial Intelligence​ for Beginners / Freshers / Collage Students

Hi All,

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL 🙂 I hope we all are safe 🙂 STAY SAFE, STAY HEALTHY, STAY HOME 🙂

Background : Recently got a chance to conduct session for collage students. College has suggested few topics which will be helpful to students. Mostly students are final year or third year – PG students. These are the student who will be starting their jobs soon.

One of the topic is Artificial Intelligence 🙂 . So took it and started study / research 🙂 And surprisingly very interesting facts came out. Statistics are showing how AI will revolutionize the technology in coming near feature.

On Knowledge-Junction we already have articles on AI Builder => https://knowledge-junction.in/?s=AI+Builder from Power Platform, but this time again starting from scratch and along this journey of AI articles I’ll also learn more 🙂

This is first article for beginners or freshers – Where / How to start with AI. Lets begin the show 🙂

NOTE : I am not AI expert. I am also start learning AI 🙂 All the below points are from my research and according to me 🙂

Take away from this session​ : At the end of the session we will got to know –

1. Prerequisites required for AI?
2. AI Builder ?​
3. ​What are the Use Cases?​
4. ​Why I should learn AI / Why I should seriously think about AI?​
5. ​As a fresher, where to start ? 

Prerequisites :

1. Basic knowledge of computer science​
2. Bit knowledge of Mathematics, Science, Mechanical or Electrical engineering

Intelligence = The ability to learn, adopt and solve the problem​

​Artificial Intelligence = Simulation of human intelligence by Machines :​

​Ability to solve the problem​

Ability like to act humans​

​So what AI includes:​

• Knowledge, planning and communication​
• Basically it’s a science and engineering of making machines intelligent , you may say computer programs​
• Computer programs with ability to behave like functions of human brain​
• Branch of Computer Science​
• Automation of intelligent behavior ​
• Its making machines / computers mimicking Human behavior 🙂

​Machine Learning – ​

• Subset of AI​
• Ability of computers to learn or to perform some task without programming​​
• Works based on “experience”  => Analyzing historical data to make predictions about future​​
• We give lots of data to algorithm​​
• Algorithm processes data ​​
• Creates a Model => Contains rules based on the data = > Identifies the pattern in data and predicts​​
• Types of learning in Machine Learning – ​
  1. Supervised learning​
  2. Unsupervised learning​

What AI Needs ?​

• Algorithms ​
  1. Basic element​
  2. We are working on them since long time​
• Compute – Processing Power – Hardware​
  1. Becomes lots easier nowadays because of cloud.
  2. It is easy to have more hardware or to scale as and when requires​
  3. Smartphones are  fully loaded with AI​
• Lots of data​
  1. Storage​
  2. Its going cheaper and cheaper day by day ​
  3. Best examples are – Google drive, One drive etc.​
  4. Playing with data (fetching, messaging) become very easy. Easy tools are available​

1. AI constitutes the next technology revolution​
2. AI could contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030​
3. Noted in Harvard Business Review Analytic Services report, An Executive’s Guide to Real-World AI, “Hype in tech is nothing new. What’s different this time is the degree to which reasonable and knowledgeable people believe that there is, indeed, a real urgency to get going with AI now.” ​
4. The total installed base of devices with Artificial Intelligence (AI) will grow from 2.7 billion in 2019 to 4.5 billion in 2024, forecasts global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research​
5. Global spending on AI systems will hit $97.9 billion in 2023, two and a half times the 2019 spend, according to IDC’s Worldwide Artificial Intelligence Systems Spending Guide.​
6. Believe me AI will have very much demand in coming days 🙂

How Artificial Intelligence Is Being Used ?​

• Almost used in every industry – Finance, Retails, food-processing, Healthcare, Automobile, Manufacturing, ERP, Content management, Collaboration, User productivity ​
• Healthcare – Countless applications in healthcare. AI has been boon to the healthcare system.   ​
  1. In Hospitals to organize bed schedules​
  2. Machine through brain-computer interfaces​
  3. To power surgical robots​
  4. Maximize hospital efficiency​
  5. More accurate diagnosis – Mostly in cancer diseases ​
• Banking​
• ​Speech Recognition – ​
  1. Some intelligent systems are capable of hearing and comprehending the language in terms of sentences and their meanings while a human talks to it. ​
  2. It can handle different accents, slang words, noise in the background, change in human’s noise due to cold, etc.​
• Computer Chess / Gaming : ​
  1. 2/96: Kasparov vs Deep Blue – Kasparov victorious: 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss​
  2. 3/97: Kasparov vs Deeper Blue – First match won against world champion​
  3. 512 processors: 200 million chess positions per second​
  4. Here, Computer can think of large number of possible positions based on heuristic knowledge​
• ​Automobile​
  1. Driver-less vehicles / cars​
• ​​Used to reduce / repetitive tasks​
• Intelligent Robots − ​
  1. Robots can perform the tasks given by a human. ​
  2. They have sensors to detect physical data from the real world such as light, heat, temperature, movement, sound, bump, and pressure. ​
  3. They have efficient processors, multiple sensors and huge memory, to exhibit intelligence. In addition, they are capable of learning from their mistakes and they can adapt to the new environment..​

As a Fresher / Beginner where should I start?​

• PYTHON  − ​
  • Python is the leader among all the programing languages for the AI​
  • If you really want to work / learn AI – YOU MUST KNOW THE PYTHON​
  • ​Community support – almost everybody is working on AI using Python​
  • ​For AI, in Python, better tools, support, libraries are available​
  • We have few good articles on Python to begin, please have a look once – https://knowledge-junction.in/?s=PYTHON
• ​Microsoft 365 AI Builder – Power Platform AI builder​ => https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-ai-builder-for-powerplatform/
• ​Microsoft Azure AI Services  => https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/overview/ai-platform/
