What is Artificial Intelligence?


Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. Some of the activities computers with artificial intelligence are designed for include:

1. Speech recognition
2. Learning
3. Planning
4. Problem-solving

Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Most AI examples that you hear about today – from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars – rely heavily on deep learning and natural language processing. Using these technologies, computers can be trained to accomplish specific tasks by processing large amounts of data and recognizing patterns in the data.

Let’s go Little Deep:

Artificial intelligence aims to create intelligent machines. It has become an essential part of the technology industry. The core problems of artificial intelligence include programming computers for certain traits such as:

1. Knowledge
2. Reasoning
3. Problem-solving
4. Perception
5. Learning
6. Planning
7. Ability to manipulate and move objects

Machines can often act and react like humans only if they have abundant information relating to the world. Artificial intelligence must have access to objects, categories, properties, and relations between all of them. Incorporating common sense, reasoning and problem-solving power in machines is a difficult and tedious task.

Why is artificial intelligence important?

A. AI automates repetitive learning and discovery through data.

AI is different from hardware-driven, robotic automation. It performs frequent, high-volume, computerized tasks reliably and without fatigue. For this type of automation, a human inquiry is still essential to set up the system and ask the right questions.

B. AI adds intelligence

It adds intelligence to existing products. It improves the product that you are already using by imparting AI capabilities. Automation, conversational platforms, bots and smart machines can be combined with large amounts of data to improve many technologies at home and in the workplace, from security intelligence to investment analysis.


C. AI Adopts through progressive learning algorithms

AI discovers structure and regularities in data so that the algorithm acquires a skill. The algorithm turns into a classifier or a predictor. So, just as the algorithm can teach itself how to play chess, it can teach itself what product to recommend next online. Backpropagation is an AI technique that allows the model to adjust, through training and added data when the first answer is not quite right. 


D. AI analyzes more and deeper data

AI analyzes more and the deeper data using neural networks that have many hidden layers. A lot of data is required to train deep learning models as they learn directly from the data. The more data, the more accurate they become. 


E. Incredible Accuracy 

AI achieves incredible accuracy though deep neural networks – which was previously impossible. For example, your interactions with Alexa, Google Search, and Google Photos are all based on deep learning – and they keep getting more accurate the more we use them. In the medical field, AI techniques from deep learning, image classification, and object recognition can now be used to find cancer on MRIs with the same accuracy as highly trained radiologists. 


F. AI gets the most out of data. 

When algorithms are self-learning, the data itself can become intellectual property. The answers are in the data; you just have to apply AI to get them out. Since the role of the data is now more important than ever before, it can create a competitive advantage. If you have the best data in a competitive industry, even if everyone is applying similar techniques, the best data will win.

What is TRP & GRP in Television Advertising ...

Television holds the title of the largest mass medium for advertising for more than 60 years now and that designation has not been overtaken even after the entry and growth of internet medium. It is an imperative and consequential component of media planning because of its pervasiveness, impact, mass reach and targeting abilities. Albeit the world has come a long way in going digital, Television advertising still plays a paramount role when it comes to marketing products and services. Television has the properties of sight, sound, and motion that traditionally set it apart from other media such as radio or print. With its three-pronged assault on its viewers’ senses, TV is able to create broad awareness for a product or services.  So before we move ahead, let’s address a common and recent misconception that internet is replacing TV viewing. The entry of Netflix, Amazon, ALT Balaji, Viu, youtube etc. it has become a hot topic to anticipate the inevitable decay and demise of televi

How Blockchain can change India’s entertainment industry

Digital technologies have played a big role in transforming the way content is produced and distributed in the entertainment industry over the past few years. Despite the many advancements, some challenges remain. The issues of revenue leakages, rights/ license management across locations, censorship and monopolistic distribution practices still exist and, in some cases, have grown. For instance, the Indian film industry, the world’s largest by a number of films produced, loses close to Rs 18,000 crore in piracy and less than half of the movies produced get a chance to reach the audience. The existing technology and infrastructure have robbed the music industry as well to the extent of about INR 6500 crore in revenue every year. In 2017, pirated music was downloaded nine billion times. The few of major hurdles that the Indian entertainment industry currently facing is the 1) Issue of funding and 2) The current distribution model. Many independent artists, actor

Basic Formulas : Digital / Internet Advertising

Mathematics is everywhere. Let it be a school life or our professional life. So, let’s try to understand the application of mathematics in internet world. What is CPM? The term CPM stands for Cost Per Mile which means cost per 1000. Its one of the most popular and used term in internet advertising space. This is the cost which advertiser pay to agency or publisher for publishing/serving 1000 impressions. Let’s take an example to understand it better. Example: Let’s assume that “Cadbury” wanted to run banner ad at CPM of INR 350 and wanted to serve 350000 impressions during the month time. What will be the total cost of client for this campaign? Total Cost to Cadbury = CPM X (Impressions)/1.000) So, Cost to advertiser will be = 350 X (3,50,000/1,000) Total cost to advertiser will be = INR 1,22,500 Let’s have a quiz here…what will you find out CPM if impression and cost is given: CPM = Cost to advertiser X 1000/Impressio
