Artificial intelligence (AI) has come a long way since its beginnings in the 1950s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of us might associate it to the likes of ChatGPT or generative AI<\/a> \u2013 a type of AI capable of generating content based on different kinds of inputs or prompts such as texts, images, sounds, etc. \u2013 that while still remains mostly experimental<\/a>, has the potential of changing the way we live, work and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, unconsciously or not, we have used AI applications in our everyday lives. Through our smartphones, for instance, we might have asked digital assistants like Siri about the weather, or referred to navigation apps like Waze for driving directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n What is AI \u2013 the Malaysian Context<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The National Artificial Intelligence Roadmap 2021-2025 defines AI as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c…a suite of technologies<\/strong> that enable machines to demonstrate intelligence<\/strong>, the ability to adapt with new circumstances, and used to amplify human ingenuity and intellectual capabilities through collective intelligence across a broad range of challenges.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Examples of these collective intelligence include perception, reasoning, learning, problem solving, language understanding, comprehension, consciousness, alertness, realisation, awareness, intuition, acumen, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To date, the main subdivisions of AI are vision, speech, robotics including software robots, machine learning, and natural language processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: <\/em>Malaysia National Artificial Intelligence Roadmap 2021-2025 (AI-RMAP)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more : Artificial Intelligence<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
