What is Artificial Intelligence?

We often talk about Artificial Intelligence, Artificial intelligence is the new buzzword these days in the market of IT Industry everyone keen to know about Artificial Intelligence that “what is AI?”, “What are the benefits of it?”, “What it was?”, “What is its role in today’s world?”, “What is the role of AI in the future?” And “how it is impacting everyone life?”

So I am starting with a question everyone wants to ask that what Artificial Intelligence is. An Artificial Intelligence which is also called a Machine Intelligence is a theory of a computer system which is able to perform a task likes a human being, work and reacts like social beings.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligent behavior of machines. Most companies could utilize AI to interpret complex data.

Here’s how it works. The AI model asks data a set of question & returns answers. To accomplish this task, an AI model needs to understand the data it’s interpreting. So, for AI to deliver accurate, useful information, an AI model needs to be trained on the data it’s given. We’ll get into that soon, but first let’s talk about that data.

The History of Artificial Intelligence

Before 1950 nobody talks about Artificial Intelligence but John McCarthy who is one of the founders of Artificial Intelligence must have realized that we will need Artificial intelligence in the future that is why he invented the word AI in 1955 the word Artificial intelligence first time used by John McCarthy.

The term Artificial Intelligence was coined in 1956, but AI has become more popular today thanks to increased data volumes, advanced algorithms, & improvements in computing power and storage. Early AI research in the 1950s explored topics like problem solving and symbolic methods. In the 1960s, the US Department of Defense took interest in this kind of work and began training computers to dummy basic human reasoning. For example, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) completed street mapping projects in the 1970s. And DARPA produced intelligent personal assistants in 2003, long before Siri, Alexa or Cortana were household names.

This early work paved the way for the automation & formal reasoning that we see in computers today, including decision support systems and smart search systems that can be designed to complement and augment human abilities. While Hollywood movies & science fiction novels depict AI as human-like robots that take over the world, the current evolution of AI technologies isn’t that scary? or quite that smart. Instead, AI has evolved to provide many specific benefits in all industry.

Career in Artificial Intelligence (AI):

If you are planning to start career in IT field then get ready, boom vacancies are coming in this way. As we know this is our future master piece. You have some basic knowledge of python and you are ready to go with AI-Machine learning. And if you have keen desire to build your career in Artificial intelligence you can choose online or offline as mode of training (AI).

It is nearly Around 512 Artificial Intelligence (AI) jobs on Glassdoor today, with AI Data Scientist, AI Software and Artificial Intelligence Software Engineers Development Engineer and AI Research Scientist having a combined total of 118 open positions.

Around 67% of all AI jobs listed on Glassdoor are located in San Jose San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles& New York City.

Expected Salaries of AI professionals earned:

India too is not far behind other countries in terms AI hiring, India is expected to see an around 60% rise by this year due to increasing adoption of automation. The presence of multi-billion dollar IT companies, global software product companies with their research and development bases in India & venture capital industry focused on AI and machine learning has given rise to a talent pool. Further, as India is heading towards Digital India, the IT Industry will require around 50% more workforce equipped with digital skills. “The growing opportunities in the digital technology arena including government initiative like Digital India will add jobs in digital technologies, AI, robotics. The IT industry In India is expected to add around 1.8–2 lakh jobs this year. Most of the machine learning talent pool is spread across 5 cities: Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai / Pune belt and Delhi NCR region.
