Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, and understanding its key concepts is crucial. Below are fundamental AI terms explained, along with practical implementations and commands to reinforce your knowledge.

⏩ Anomaly Detection

Identifies unusual data patterns, useful in fraud detection and cybersecurity.

You Should Know:

  • Use Python’s `scikit-learn` for anomaly detection:
    from sklearn.ensemble import IsolationForest
    import numpy as np</li>
    </ul>
    
    data = np.random.randn(100, 2)  Sample data
    model = IsolationForest(contamination=0.1)
    anomalies = model.fit_predict(data)
    print(anomalies)  -1 indicates anomalies
    

    – Linux command to monitor system anomalies:

    sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep -i "error|warning"
    

    ⏩ Machine Learning

    Algorithms that improve through data exposure, enabling automated decision-making.

    You Should Know:

    • Train a simple ML model using scikit-learn:
      from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
      from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier</li>
      </ul>
      
      iris = load_iris()
      X, y = iris.data, iris.target
      model = DecisionTreeClassifier()
      model.fit(X, y)
      print(model.predict([[5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2]]))  Predict class
      

      – Linux command to check CPU usage (ML workloads):

      top -o %CPU
      

      ⏩ Generative AI

      Creates new content like text, images, or audio.

      You Should Know:

      • Generate text using OpenAI’s GPT API (Python):
        import openai</li>
        </ul>
        
        response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain AI in 50 words."}]
        )
        print(response.choices[bash].message.content)
        

        – Linux command to install `transformers` for local AI models:

        pip install transformers torch
        

        ⏩ Explainable AI (XAI)

        Makes AI decisions interpretable.
