Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning

  Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning  The roots of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are deep, tracing back to the mid-20th century. Alan Turing, a notable figure in the development of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, posed the question "Can machines think?" back in 1950. This ignited the spark that fuelled decades of innovation. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, the first academic conference of its kind. Machine Learning, on the other hand, made its debut in the late '50s when Arthur Samuel developed a program that could learn to play checkers. Fast forward to the 21st century, we've witnessed the evolution from rule-based systems to machines that can learn from vast datasets and even from their own experiences. The milestones are numerous, from IBM's Deep Blue defeating world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997 to the advent of deep learning w...

                                AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES “WHERE TECHNOLOGY DRIVES ” A Journey Through Time: The Evolution of AV The concept of self-driving cars began with Leonardo da Vinci's 16th-century designs and progressed through Francis P. Houdina's 1925 radio-controlled car and Norman Bel Geddes' 1939 futuristic visions. Major advancements came with DARPA's 2004 and 2008 challenges, which demonstrated the viability of autonomous technology. Mobileye then revolutionized the field by integrating advanced sensors and mapping into vehicles, paving the way for the widespread adoption of self-driving cars. Inside Autonomous Cars: The Role of Sensors, Algorithms, and Machine learning Autonomous cars rely on sensors, actuators, complex algorithms, machine learning systems, and powerful processors to execute software. Autonomous cars create and maintain a map of their surroundings based on a variety of sensors sit...
