With the rapid progress of science and technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most popular and cutting-edge fields in the current era. It covers computer science, mathematics, psychology, philosophy and other disciplines, aiming to simulate, extend and expand human intelligence, and realize machine self-learning, reasoning, perception, understanding, decision-making and other functions.
I. Definition and connotation of artificial intelligence technology
Artificial intelligence technology is a computer science and technology that simulates human intelligent behavior. It transforms human thinking processes, learning methods, and decision-making mechanisms into algorithms and programs that can be executed by computers through in-depth research on human intelligence. Artificial intelligence technology includes many aspects, such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, speech recognition, expert systems, and so on. These technologies are integrated with each other to form a huge system of artificial intelligence technology.
Second, the development of artificial intelligence technology
The development of artificial intelligence technology can be traced back to the 1950s. At that time, scientists began to try to simulate human intelligent behavior through computers, thus opening the field of artificial intelligence research. After decades of exploration and development of artificial intelligence technology from theory to practice, and gradually made many remarkable achievements.
In the initial stages of development, AI technologies mainly focused on areas such as logical reasoning and expert systems. With the continuous progress of computer technology, artificial intelligence technology has begun to enter a wider range of fields such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision and so on. In recent years, the rise of deep learning technology has injected new vitality into the development of artificial intelligence technology. Deep learning technology realizes the automatic analysis and processing of massive data by simulating the working mode of human brain neurons, thereby greatly improving the performance and application scope of artificial intelligence technology.
