A Textbook of Artificial Intelligence for Class IX (A.Y. 2023-24)Onward


Book Description

The term "artificial intelligence" may sound intimidating to some, but it has been in use for decades and its applications are more common than you might imagine. It is gaining the spotlight across applications in our personal and professional lives. AI is still at a relatively early stage of development, so that the range of potential applications, have ample scope left for further development. It holds the promise of solving some of the most pressing issues facing society, but also presents challenges such as unethical use of data and potential job displacement. There are so many amazing ways artificial intelligence and machine learning are used behind the scenes to impact our everyday lives. A1 assists in every area of our lives, whether we're trying to read our emails, get driving directions, get music or movie recommendations. AI is a constellation of technologies that enable machines to act with higher levels of intelligence and emulate the human capabilities of sense, comprehend and act. A1 is not specifically related to computer science. This is a field of study that encompasses human behaviour, biology, psychology, and even language and linguistics. AI presents opportunities to complement and supplement human intelligence and enrich the way people live and work. Artificial Intelligence is being widely recognized to be the power that will fuel this future global digital economy. Countries around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the potential benefits of developing and applying AI. From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google's search algorithms to IBM's Watson to autonomous weapons. From Amazon shopping recommendations, Facebook image recognition, and personal assistants like Siri, Cortana, and Alexa, your phone is becoming a portal to real-world applications of artificial intelligence. This book is a "glimpse into the future" that illustrates how AI will continue to transform our daily lives in the near future. Digitalisation and the new technological possibilities that artificial intelligence (A1) brings are driving the biggest social and economic changes since the industrial revolution. Without the right political, economic and ethical framework conditions there is a risk of uncontrolled development and a negative impact of AI. Artificial intelligence (A1) is doing a lot of good and will continue to provide many benefits for our modern world, but along with the good, there will inevitably be negative consequences. The sooner we begin to contemplate what those might be, the better equipped we will be to mitigate and manage the dangers. While writing the book, we have tried to keep the explanation simple with lots of examples and illustrations. Lastly, there is always a scope of improvement. Thus, it is a request to our esteemed readers to send the feedback and suggestions etc for the improvement of the book. All your requests are welcome.
