AI-04 AI Applications

AI Based Planning and Scheduling

  • AI based planning scheduling and using means artificial intelligence techniques to decide the best way to arrange and perform tasks in order.
  • It helps in finding the optimal order of tasks, managing time resources and priorities
  • Unlike manual planning, AI can quickly analyze large amounts of data and suggest the most efficient schedule

Examples

  • Airlines: AI creates flight schedules, assigns crew members reduce delays
  • Delivery Services (Amazon, Swiggy, Zomato): AI decides the shortest path so customers get packages on time
  • Project Management: AI tools help managers allocate work to team members based on skills and deadlines

Benefits

  • Saves time and resources
  • Reduces human errors in planning.
  • Handles complex schedules that humans cannot manage easily.

Natural Language Processing

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that allows computers to understand, interpret, and respond to human languages like English , Hindi, or Gujarati
  • It combines Computer Science, AI, and Linguistics to bridge the gap between humans and computers
  • Tasks include: Speech Recognition, Translation, Chatbots, and Sentiment Analysis
  • NLP makes it possible for machines to read text, hear speech, analyze meaning and reply back in natural language

Examples

  • Voice Assistants (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant): Understand spoken commands and answer questions instantly.
  • Google Translate: Converts text from one language to another in seconds
  • Chatbots in Banking/Ecommerce: Answer customer queries instantly without human support.
  • Spam Filtering in Gmail: Uses NLP to detect and block spam emails

Benefits

  • Makes human computer interaction easier.
  • Saves time by automating tasks like translation and customer support
  • Helps in analyzing opinions

Neural Networks

  • A Neural Network is an Artificial Intelligence system inspired by the structure of the human brain , consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons ).
  • They are especially powerful in recognizing images, speech, and large complex datasets
  • Neural networks process input data in layers, Identify hidden patterns, and give accurate predictions

Examples

  • Face Unlock in Phones: Detects and matches faces for secure login.
  • Self Driving Cars: Identify traffic lights, pedestrians, and obstacles.
  • Netflix/YouTube Recommendations: Suggest movies/videos based on user behavior

Benefits

  • Learns complex patterns that traditional programs cannot.
  • Works for multiple fields: vision, speech, and predictions.
  • Improves accuracy with more data

Expert Systems

  • Expert systems bring expert knowledge to everyone, making decision making faster and more reliable
  • They are computer programs that use stored human knowledge and rules to solve problems and give advice like a human expert
  • They work on “if–then” rules to make logical decisions.
  • These systems are widely used in fields where human expertise is required but not always available.

Examples

  • Medical Diagnosis: Systems like MYCIN help doctors identify diseases.
  • Troubleshooting: Used in IT and electronics to detect faults.
  • Legal Advice: Some systems guide lawyers with case references

Benefits

  • Provides expert level decision making.
  • Reduces time and cost of consulting experts.
  • Available 24/7 for problem solving.

Genetic Algorithms

  • Genetic Algorithms are AI techniques inspired by natural selection and genetics to solve optimization problems in business, engineering, and research
  • They use processes like: Selection (choosing the best solutions), Crossover (mixing solutions), Mutation (small changes).
  • Just like survival of the fittest, GA keeps improving solutions until the best one is found

Examples

  • Timetable Scheduling: Create clashfree timetables in schools/colleges.
  • Delivery Route Optimization: Helps couriers find the shortest delivery path
  • Engineering Design: Optimize machine parts and layouts.

Benefits

  • Solves problems too complex for normal algorithms.
  • Produces nearoptimal solutions in less time.
  • Can adapt to changing conditions.

AI in Games

  • AI makes games more fun, interactive, and realistic by controlling how characters and environments behave.
  • It controls:
    • Enemies & Allies → How they attack, defend, or support.
    • Levels & Difficulty → Adapts to player’s skills.
    • Game Environment → Makes it close to real life.

Examples

  • Chess/Carrom Apps → AI plays as your opponent.
  • PUBG / Fortnite → AI bots adjust difficulty.
  • FIFA Games → AI players act like real footballers.

Benefits

  • Smarter challenges → More excitement.
  • Creates realistic environments.
  • Useful in training simulations (military , sports ).

Minimax Algorithm

  • The Minimax Algorithm is an AI technique used in two player games to decide the best move.
  • One player maximizes score other player minimizes score
  • AI checks all possible moves and picks the most strategic one

Examples

  • Chess → Blocks opponent’s best move.
  • TicTacToe → Computer never loses.
  • Checkers → Chooses optimal moves.

Benefits

  • Ensures smart & fair gameplay.
  • Makes AI unbeatable in simple games.
  • Keeps players engaged & challenged.

Bias in AI

  • Bias in AI means unfair results because AI was trained on biased or incomplete data
  • If AI is trained with one sided data, it may:
    • Favor some groups.
    • Discriminate against others.

Examples

  • Job Recruitment AI → Prefers men if trained mostly on male data.
  • Facial Recognition → Fails for darker skin if trained on lighter faces only.

Benefits of Reducing Bias

  • Ensures fair & equal opportunities.
  • Builds trust in AI systems.
  • Prevents discrimination in hiring, law, or healthcare

Privacy Concerns

  • Privacy concerns in AI happen when personal data is collected or misused without permission
  • If not protected, it may be stolen or misused.
  • AI systems need lots of data, like: Location Health records Financial details

Examples

  • Social Media Apps → Collect chats, photos, browsing habits.
  • Healthcare Apps → Store patient records.
  • Smart Devices → Track home activities.

Benefits of Addressing Privacy

  • Protects personal freedom & safety.
  • Builds trust in AI.
  • Follows laws like GDPR

Transparency & Fairness

  • Transparency & fairness mean AI decisions should be clear, explainable , and unbiased
  • AI should not act like a black box. Users must know why a decision was made. Everyone must be treated equally

Examples

  • Loan Approval AI → Must explain why a loan was accepted/rejected.
  • Hiring AI → Should not judge by gender, caste, or religion.

Benefits

  • Builds trust in AI systems.
  • Ensures equal opportunities.
  • Encourages responsible use of technology.
