Artificial Intelligence
In general we are
addicted to machines which only act as helpers in our daily life and we need to
switch them i.e. to instruct them in order to get help. We humans have great
capacity of analyzing situations, comparing, planning and taking decisions, but
we can’t do all works with our hands due to our limitations like fatigue,
little accuracy as compared to machines, fragile body and lesser memory as
compared to machines. Also we cannot work with the same speed as that of the
machines with equal accuracy. It is also a point that, “what’s the need to work
when we have made machines for it.” Also there are various fields like medical,
engineering, mining, cleaning, where it is impossible to think of doing
anything without a machine.
In our present
situations, either we have operators or program based robots which operate our
machines and do all important things. Though robots are new installments in the
field of machines, even then they need a computer program to instruct them for
every operation. These programs need a human mind to be created. We can make a
program if have all the details of the situations in the field of operation of
the machine. In various fields like military, management, we cannot rely on a
computer programmed robot because no one can design a program for absolutely
unpredictable conditions, because a decision maker is needed in such
conditions. If we want to record all the
data in places like space, inside human body, on high altitudes, under extreme
pressures in the deep sea, bomb testing sites, under deep tunnels with toxic
gases, military operations, spying, bomb squads, fire brigades, where it is
either too risky or impossible for humans to work, we need intelligent machines
which can work, as well as make quick decisions.
For this purpose,
researchers are trying to install machines with a newer feature called
artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is the field of study and
design of intelligent agents. These intelligent agents analyze their surroundings,
plan all steps possible to be taken in the given condition, compare them with
each other, find the most successful step and work according to that. This step
is the decision taken by the machine without any human assistance. These agents
don’t need full programming to instruct them for all the steps. They only need
a basic program which tells them their work and an instruction to complete the
task without failure and without any loss. These work as basic rules for the agent
and can be compromised according to requirement. The challenge is to make a
system that decides which rule is to be ignored in extreme conditions to make
the robot appropriate for working in military operations and management
purposes.
To choose the most
successful step, the intelligent agent must have some rules more prior to
another, because machine will always have a number of possible steps at a given
point. To choose the most appropriate step, computer will have to put the steps
with lesser priority but higher proximity at the back of the line and take the
step which gives the result which is most useful to the user.
