Role of Mathematics in Novel Artificial Intelligence Realm
Kavita Rawat, Manas Kumar Mishra · 2022
Artificial Intelligence has gained wide popularity in our day-to-day life. AI has progressed miraculously to deliver profits in fields such as healthcare, finance, education, manufacturing, etc. AI tools and Chatbots have been very recently a discovery in the speedily advancing tech domain. AI is not mystical; it is all about mathematics. The intellectual concept is to think like humans and copy their behavior with the assistance of mathematics. Both Artificial Intelligence and mathematics are designed for optimization purpose. But the main question that arises here is, What are the basic concepts of mathematics that lead to the imitation of human behavior? How is AI associated with mathematics? The mathematical concepts like Linear Algebra, Calculus, Probability, Statistics, etc., help to understand the logical reasoning behind Chatbots and the self-driving car. Though all the data are not numerical in nature it is often helpful to consider data in numerical format. In artificial intelligence the numerical data is represented as vectors and for representing them in tabular format matrices are used. The study of vectors and matrix comes under linear algebra. Likewise usually, when data are collected some sort of noise get introduced in data or observation. While dealing with such noisy data, uncertainty occurs so there is a need to quantify the uncertainty, which is the domain of probability theory. In this way artificial intelligence and mathematics are closely related with each other. Mathematics helps to solve the challenging task of hypothetical problems in artificial intelligence using traditional methods and techniques. Mathematical concepts improve our skills of thinking and enhance our mental strength.
