Chapter 7: Artificial Intelligence to Identify Ideas

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now portrayed as a solution provider. Once considered to be an esoteric topic for being too math-heavy, AI has now become a household term with its presence in advertisements for commonly used items such as smartphones. AI devices fall under two fundamental categories – applied and general. Applied AI which is common in nature refers to systems designed to intelligently trade stocks and shares; whereas generalized AI, less common in nature, refers to systems that are capable of handling any task. Generalized AI, an emerging field, aims at functioning as a human with an ability to deal with complex situations with analytical thinking and depth of knowledge so that it can deal with diverse topics.
