Introduction to AI Technology

 Introduction:-

Introduction to AI Technology is a starting point for business decision-makers who would like to get a high-level overview of AI. This module will discuss how AI technologies are transforming organizations by giving them a competitive advantage; improving customer experiences; and enhancing efficiencies in their internal processes.

What is AI?

The term AI tends to be thrown around a lot. Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning or deep learning are common terms that confuse many people. So, what are they anyway? In this unit, we will clarify these methods so you can understand how it applies to your business problem.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer program or machine to exhibit or mimic human-like behavior (for example, visual senses, speech recognition, decision-making, natural language understanding, and so on). Machine learning is a subset of AI.

Machine learning-Machine learning is a technique where a machine sifts through numerous of data to find patterns over time. Machine learning uses algorithms that train a machine how to learn patterns based on differentiating features about the data. The more the training data, the more accurate the predictions. 

Deep learning -Deep learning is a subset of machine learning. Deep learning is imitating how a human brain processes information, as a connected artificial neural network. Unlike machine learning, deep learning can discover complex patterns and differentiating features about the data on its own. It normally works with unstructured data like images, text, and audio. 

Introduction to the Microsoft AI approach:-

When thinking of adopting AI into your business, you should consider prebuilt AI services first. Azure Cognitive Services is Microsoft prebuilt AI product. These are pre-trained models that have been developed by Microsoft global researchers and data scientists to solve common problems. To avoid reinventing the wheel, businesses can leverage prebuilt services to achieve quality and accelerate the delivery of technology solutions. It's better to use the Azure Cognitive Services that offer prebuilt AI services in vision, speech, language, search, or decision-making to solve common problems. This brings AI within reach of every developer and organization without requiring machine learning expertise. As a result, it enables developers of all skill levels to easily add intelligence to new or existing business applications.
