ICT:
CT stands for "Information and Communication Technology." It's all about using computers, the internet, and other technology to gather and share information and communicate with others. So, when you use a smartphone, computer, or the internet to do things like send messages, browse websites, or use apps, you're using ICT!
Artificial Intelligence:
AI stands for "Artificial Intelligence." It's like teaching computers and machines to think and make decisions like humans do, but using code and algorithms. AI helps computers learn from data and solve tasks, like recognizing pictures, playing games, or answering questions.
Components of AI:
1. Machine Learning: This is like teaching computers to learn and improve from data, just like how we learn from our experiences.
2. NLP (Natural Language Processing): It helps computers understand and work with human languages, like when your phone understands what you say or when you use a translator online.
3. Sensors: These are like the computer's senses. They can be cameras, microphones, or other devices that let machines see, hear, or sense the world around them.
4. Robotics: Think of this as giving machines a body. It's about building physical robots that can do tasks, like vacuuming the floor or assembling cars.
5. Expert Systems: These are computer programs that have a lot of knowledge in a specific area, and they can make smart decisions or give advice, similar to having a conversation with an expert in that field.
Applications of AI:
- Learning: AI helps make studying more fun and effective, like when your computer gives you personalized lessons.
- Healthcare: AI helps doctors by looking at X-rays and data to find illnesses and it keeps patient records safe.
- Finance: AI helps banks catch bad guys trying to steal money and also helps pick the best places to invest your money.
- Transportation: AI makes cars that can drive themselves and help control traffic so you don't get stuck in jams.
- Industries: AI helps factories make things better and faster by telling the machines how to work smarter.
- Manufacturing: AI helps factories by making sure machines work well and things are made right.
- Entertainment: AI suggests cool movies, music, and games you might like, and makes video games look awesome.
Disadvantages of AI:
- Job Loss: AI can take away some people's jobs because it can do the work instead.
- Privacy Problems: AI can learn personal things about you, and that might not be safe.
- Unfairness: Sometimes, AI can make decisions that aren't fair to everyone.
- Not Creative: AI can't be creative like humans; it can't make up new things.
- Depending Too Much: If we use AI too much, we might forget how to do things ourselves.
- Expensive: Making and keeping AI systems can cost a lot of money.
- Ethical Questions: AI can make us think about what's right or wrong, especially in things like using AI for weapons.
- Mistakes: AI can make errors, and it can be hard to fix them.
