What You Need to Know About AI-integrated Devices

December 10, 2024

What is AI?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a type of technology that focuses on building smart systems that can imitate how humans think and learn. Essentially, AI allows machines to solve problems, make decisions, and learn by looking at large amounts of data and recognizing complex patterns.

How does AI work?

Algorithms and datasets are the heart of AI, driving its functionality. An algorithm can be seen as a set of rules that enables the AI system to extract patterns from data and make predictions. As such, the effectiveness of an AI system relies on the quality of its input data and the sophistication of its algorithms and machine learning models.

Narrow AI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence)

Currently, most AI systems are classified as Narrow AI, which means they excel at specific tasks within well-defined parameters. Some examples include:

Image and speech recognition
Virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa
Self-driving car navigation
Chatbots

Generative AI

While most AI systems fit into the above-mentioned category, Generative AI is a quickly growing field and is being researched and explored at an increasing rate. Instead of simply making predictions, generative AI analyzes data and creates new content. Some examples include:

Large Language Models (LLMs) like Microsoft 365 Copilot
Image synthesis
