Question

Find out about two applications of AI (not classes of applications, but specific programs). For each application, write, at most, one typed page describing it. You should try to cover the following questions.

1. (a)

   What does the application actually do (e.g., control a spacecraft, diagnose a photocopier, provide intelligent help for computer users)?

2. (b)

   What AI technologies does it use (e.g., model-based diagnosis, belief networks, semantic networks, heuristic search, constraint satisfaction)?

3. (c)

   How well does it perform? (According to the authors or to an independent review? How does it compare to humans? How do the authors know how well it works?)

4. (d)

   Is it an experimental system or a fielded system? (How many users does it have? What expertise do these users require?)

5. (e)

   Why is it intelligent? What aspects of it makes it an intelligent system?

6. (f)

   [optional] What programming language and environment was it written in? What sort of user interface does it have?

7. (g)

   References: Where did you get the information about the application? To what books, articles, or web pages should others who want to know about the application refer?

Answer 1

two examples of artificial intelligence are:

1. Human robot SOPHIA
2. Alexa

1. Human Robot SOPHIA: Sophia is a humanoid robot developed by an Hong kong based company. It is called humanoid becuase of its resemblance to human face and it has many features that are equivalent to humans. it was activated on 14 feb 2016. Sophia robot is developed using artificial intelligence,facial and speech recognition and visual data processing. Sophia`s behavioral actions are similar to that of humans,it can maintain eye contact,participate in conversation,give facial expressions.

It can have small conversation with humans because of a set of predefined answers programmed in its software.Sophia is the future of artificial intelligence and robot technology. It can be used at any place for any kind of work,it can work in a office, or at home. Sophia has been built to human living easier. It is a very intelligent robot as it can give answer and interact just like normal human with proper facial expressions and eye contact.

2. ALEXA :Alexa is a virtual assistant developed by amazon. It is able to do voice interaction,play music,make lists,make calls,search devices,set alarms,provide news and weather update, it can also control the home audio system.

It is an intelligent system as it helps humans in performing many tasks which would have been time consuming.

Alexa uses natural language understanding technology and speech recognition
