What is AI?<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

When most of us at 9senses began working with what is now labeled Artificial Intelligence,<\/strong> we didn't use that term. Back then, we were talking about non-linear computing, fuzzy logic, heuristics, machine learning, among others.<\/p>\n

Today, many people think that AI makes computers as smart as humans. In reality, computer software is still far away from reaching that level, but it today is able to emulate and even surpass human capabilities in specific fields, particularly those that require the processing of large amounts of information or the generation of output from a large data pool. We would like to instill a bit of clarity here, at the cost of taking some of the magic of AI away, as did Joseph Weizenbaum, the legendary creator of Eliza:<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cWhat I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

But what is AI really? We have asked two conversational AI systems about their definition of Artificial Intelligence and came back with quite divergent answers. Click to see what AI has to say on AI<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

After noticing how divergent the statements of those two AI systems were, we are no longer afraid of creating our own answer.\u00a0 We at 9senses define AI as \"a computer system that is able to react to an event it has never experienced before in a meaningful way that is adequate to that event.\" <\/strong>This ability clearly distinguishes it from traditional computer logic where each event (or combination of events) has only one defined reaction. We explicitly stay away from comparing it with humans, because in some areas, computers are still eons away from reaching our abilities, while in others, they massively outperform us.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Key Fields of AI<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

There are various key AI technology areas, here is one of many ways to break it down:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Machine Learning<\/h2>

Finding patterns in large datasets and drawing con\u00ad\u00adclusions, for example in customer\u00a0 or operational data, is something computers can do much better than any human.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Computer Vision<\/h2>

Finding items and differen-ces in still or moving imagery is something that computers excel at, for example when it comes to surveillance, irre\u00adgularity detection or simply - counting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Natural Language Processing<\/h2>

Being able to communicate with humans is one of the most recent key AI develop\u00adments that helps interact with computers, for example in customer-facing IT.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Robotics<\/h2>

Creating autonomous sys\u00adtems that perform phy\u00adsical actions, like driving a vehicle based on controlling equipment using sensor in\u00adput and logic, is a key field of AI, albeit a difficult one.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
