2. “The development of full artificial intelligence could
spell the end of the human race….It would take off
on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing
rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological
evolution, couldn't compete, and would be
superseded.”— Stephen Hawking
28 Best Quotes About Artificial Intelligence
“Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by
around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045,
we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human
biological machine intelligence of our civilization a
billion-fold.” —Ray Kurzweil, author
“The pace of progress in artificial intelligence is
incredibly fast. ... The risk of something seriously
dangerous happening is in the five-year timeframe.
10 years at most.” —Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla

3. “Using up data and AI is only a means to survive.”
—Kenichiro Yoshida, Sony President
“Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the
reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead
of artificial intelligence, I think we'll augment our
intelligence.” —Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM
28 Best Quotes About Artificial Intelligence
“Artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version
of Google. The ultimate search engine that would
understand everything on the web. ...” —Larry
Page, CEO of Alphabet

4. AI Boom
Chances and Risks

5. Begin of AI
• The Dartmouth Conference of 1956 was organized by
Marvin Minsky, John McCarthy and two senior scientists:
Claude Shannon and Nathan Rochester of IBM. The proposal
for the conference included this assertion: "every aspect of
learning or any other feature of intelligence can be so
precisely described that a machine can be made to
simulate it".
• At the conference Newell and Simon debuted the "Logic
Theorist" and McCarthy persuaded the attendees to accept
"Artificial Intelligence" as the name of the field.
• The 1956 Dartmouth conference was the moment that AI
gained its name.

6. What is AI?
--classic and modern aspects--
• From a behavioral point of view, is an artificial
agent that shows certain characteristics of
intelligence like:
• Perception
• Knowledge acquisition
• Knowledge representation
• Reasoning
• Planning
ó Regression
ó Deep learning
ó Modeling
ó Prediction
ó Recognition

brought along the possibilities.
Germin8, Social Intelligence
In 2015
Facebook:-
Adds 0.5 petabyte (1015) of data every 24 hours
Twitter:-
Adds 340 million tweets per day
Youtube:-
Adds 100 hours of new videos every minute
Less number of character per message, much more number of messages => data sparsity

27. Challenges
• Current AI is nothing more than a machine that has a
capability to learn.
• AI should not only be able to learn and reason, it should also be able
to interact and react.
• AI platforms should do more than answer simple questions.
They should be able to learn at scale, reason with purpose,
and naturally interact with humans. They should gain
knowledge over time as they continue to learn from their
interactions, creating new opportunities for business and
positively impacting society.
• AI will result in net job gain. Reskill for new job role to work
with AI
