Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence refers to the process whereby machines teach themselves and demonstrate intelligence. Fields of industry in which AI is used include predictive maintenance, a trend within modern maintenance in which various maintenance measures are based on the analysis of sensor data.
In actual fact, Artificial Intelligence, or AI, as it is usually abbreviated, is nothing new. It became an topic of research during the 1950s, although people had spoken about thinking machines and artificial beings even earlier.
Basic concepts commonly mentioned in connection with AI are machine learning and deep learning. A basic definition of machine learning is provided below: “Algorithms which analyse data, learn from it and then apply what they have learned to make informed decisions.” Deep learning is a subset of machine learning.
