Class 8 AI | Unit 2: Artificial Intelligence and Its Applications
How does AI interact with us? 🌐
AI isn't just in robots; it is hidden in the apps and machines we use every day. To understand its applications, we look at which Domain the AI belongs to.
1. Data Science Applications (Predictions) 📈
This domain uses numbers and past history to guess what will happen next.
- Price Comparison: Apps that tell you when flight tickets or mobile prices will drop.
- Health Prediction: Smartwatches that monitor your heart rate and predict if you are falling ill.
Example: Amazon/Flipkart suggesting products you might like based on your previous shopping history.
2. Computer Vision Applications (Visuals) 📸
Helping machines understand images and videos just like human eyes.
- Facial Recognition: Used for security in airports and "Face Unlock" on smartphones.
- Medical Imaging: AI that helps doctors find diseases in X-rays or MRI scans much faster than the human eye.
🌟 Interactive Activity: Google Quick Draw
(See if the AI can recognize your drawings in under 20 seconds!)
3. Natural Language Processing (NLP) 💬
Helping machines understand, interpret, and respond to human language.
- Smart Assistants: Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa.
- Email Filters: How Gmail knows which email is "Spam" and which is "Important."
Relatable Example: Have you noticed how Autocorrect finishes your sentences while typing? That is NLP in action!
AI for Social Good 🌍
AI is solving big problems in our society:
- Agriculture: Sensors that tell farmers exactly how much water a plant needs, saving 40% more water.
- Environment: AI that tracks endangered animals to protect them from hunters.
