Contribute What You Know About Artificial Intelligence by Harkstetunz: 7:40am On Oct 27, 2020
Hello guys! I've been an ardent visitor of this section for a while now and believe me guys, you're all doing well grin .
I literally haven't been fortunate to come across any thread detailing Artificial intelligence(there might actually be many) ; maybe you guys do not have penchant for it. grin
Please, bosses, help about the things you know about AI (pros and cons included) and the things AI enthusiasts should know and be prepared for.
Thanks.

Artificial is unnatural and temporary, while intelligence is intelligence... We move

Artificial Intelligence is a vast field, you should be specific about your questions.

AI is not just a single field one can abruptly talk about.
Well, the branch of AI I've dealt with are Machine learning and Robotics. These are two interesting fields. Machine learning on the one hand basically deals with machines or systems capable of learning from test data. After thorough training, the machine should be able to carry out accurate predictions be it categorical, regression, and lots of other methods. A major disadvantage of machine learning is the high susceptibility to error. For example, its very easy to over fit a Machine Learning model if care is not taken.
Robotics on the other hand is the use of mechanical and electronics systems to develop machines capable to carrying out tasks with little or no human intervention. Robotics has numerous disadvantages ranging from high cost of implementation to the need for constant maintainenace.
Other fields of AI includes deep learning and NLP. Deep learning has to do with learning across multiple layers of training. They generally produce systems with higher accuracy than machine learning . In neural networks, weights are adjusted over several layers till your error rate is small enough. It's somewhat similar to deep learning.

As an AI enthusiast, I suggest you read up about the various fields of AI before delving into it. In the real world, there is no specific field like AI. You have to focus on one of the numerous branches of AI. That said, your language of choice should be Python. Python is the language of AI.

What a good analysis!

Do you have any idea where I can get AI and robotics curriculum for primary school kids? I'm currently in talks with a school proprietor who wants me to introduce his kids to hands-on AI and robotics.

Wow, nice to see schools are finally delving into tech. Well, rather than going into AI for primary kids. You have to first start by teaching them python programming, make python fun for them by writing simple game scripts and such. I don't think primary school kids are ready for AI. As for the Robotics aspect, you can play around building simple robotic toys.

Thanks for your input. Just this evening, I came across a curriculum developed by MIT just for kids. I think I'm just going to use that.

I'm very interested in AI. I'm through with Python basic. I want to choose AI.
I need someone like mentor.
Re: Contribute What You Know About Artificial Intelligence by Harkstetunz: 7:03pm On Oct 31, 2020
olamidedivotee, from my research, you'll need the knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics and background in deep learning. Bosses in the house can correct me if I'm wrong.

You dont really need to know these things... There are various libraries at your disposal, with a single function call, you can perform complex mathematical conputations.

If you then want to really know the mathematics behind such functions, that's when you need knowledge of calculus and such. But for a starter, just know what each function does, you don't need to understand the mathematics behind it.

If you are well grounded in python and want to go into AI, I suggest you start off from Machine Learning. To me, it's the easiest branch of AI to work with. Help yourself to Jose Portilla Udemy Couse on "Python for Machine Learning"

ML ain't a branch of ML though. It is just a way to realize AI.

You're right, but then again the answer also depends on a couple of factors: your goal, knowledge, and time. Do you want to get a job as an AI engineer? Want to pursue academia? Want to study it as a hobby? This changes the answer drastically.

For instance, if you intend to learn AI for getting a job, you'll have to focus on obtaining practical experience. However, if you want to learn as a part of academics, you'll need to concentrate more on the theoretical aspects.

My bit - If you want to apply machine learning and AI techniques to a problem, you don’t necessarily need an in-depth understanding of the math to get a good result. Libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch allows someone with a bit of Python experience to build state of the art models whilst the math is taken care of behind the scenes.

If you’re looking to get deep into AI research, through means of a PhD program or something similar, having an in-depth knowledge of the math is paramount.

undecided I'm still a jambite o.

do you mean if I don't have a PhD I can't apply for any job.
