Why AI is not a Machine, and Humans Resemble Machines?
A machine is a set of parts connected into a logical whole for the purpose of performing a specific operation. An operation is the lowest segment of processing, while processing is a segment in technology.
The scientific definition of a machine is that a machine is any device that transmits or converts energy, or a device for increasing the value of force, changing the direction of force, or increasing the speed at which work is performed. In everyday life, the meaning has become established for devices that have at least one moving part and that help or perform work. Machines, on one hand, require input energy to provide another form of energy at the output, most often in the form of mechanical work. Devices without moving parts are called tools, not machines. People used various machines even before they knew how to write. They helped them in their daily lives by reducing the amount of force needed to perform work. The key difference is: a machine has a pre-made human conception of how the machine should look and what it should do. A bicycle as a machine is determined to go forward or backward and turn at a certain angle, and it would be surprising if it went its own way without human will. It is a tool pre-constructed and has the function of helping humans in strength.

A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- 1950s: The concept of AI was popularized by Alan Turing with his paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,” where he proposed the famous Turing Test.
- 1956: The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined at the Dartmouth Conference, marking the official birth of AI as a field of study.
- 1960s: Development of symbolic reasoning and early AI programs like ELIZA, one of the first chatbot systems.
- 1970s-80s: AI faced its first “winter” due to limited computational power and overpromised results. However, expert systems gained some traction in industries.
- 1990s: Advancements in machine learning led to breakthroughs, including IBM’s Deep Blue defeating world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997.
- 2000s and onward: With increased computational power and data availability, AI entered a golden age, from Siri’s debut in 2011 to modern deep learning systems.
How Modern AI Systems Work
Modern AI relies on machine learning (ML) and neural networks, which mimic the structure of the human brain. Here’s a simplified breakdown:
- Data: AI systems are trained on massive amounts of data (e.g., images, text, videos).
- Algorithms: Machine learning algorithms, like supervised, unsupervised, or reinforcement learning, enable AI to identify patterns and make predictions.
- Neural Networks: Deep learning uses layered neural networks to analyze data more effectively. These networks enable tasks like image recognition and natural language processing.
- Applications: Today, AI powers recommendation systems, autonomous vehicles, virtual assistants, and much more.
