ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Abstract
This report aims to discuss about Artificial intelligence in HCI or Human Computer
Interaction. The advantages and the disadvantages about of artificial intelligence is briefly
discussed in this report. The various fields where the implementation of artificial intelligence
has provided additional opportunities have been discussed in this report. The AI or Artificial
Intelligence is the sector of computer science that focuses on the production of machines that
are intelligent and these machines can react and work like human beings. The major activities
that can be performed by AI machines are speech recognition and learning. This report
concludes with an appropriate conclusion for the report.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Introduction
The aim of this report is to discuss about Artificial Intelligence and the application
areas. The benefits and the challenges of the implementation of Artificial Intelligence is
briefly stated in this report. Several areas where the implementation of artificial intelligence
has proven to be advantageous are provided in this report. Lastly, this report concludes with
an appropriate conclusion for this report.
AI or Artificial Intelligence is commonly called as machine intelligence, which means
the intelligence that is presented by machines that is different from the intelligence presented
by humans. The communities of AI and the HCI are commonly characterised as consisting of
several views that are opposing of the methods of interaction among computers and humans.
As the development of HCI and AI increases, there is certainly a division among these
communities. The field of HCI or Human Computer Interaction is the field that researches the
designing and the utilisation of the technology of computer by focusing on the interfaces
among the computers and the users. Several researchers in the HCI field have concluded that
the implementation of artificial intelligence in the HCI can help humans achieve greater goals
in less time (Cohen & Feigenbaum, 2014).
Discussion
A common AI studies the environment and then takes the required actions that helps
in increasing the chances of successful achieving the goals. The intent of an AI along with the
goal function can be simple or complex. The determining of the goals can be done explicitly
or it can be also induced. If the programming of the AI is done for the reinforcement learning,
there is an opportunity of implicitly inducing the goals for the rewarding various kinds of
behaviours and also punishing others.

Methods by which HCI is getting transformed by Artificial Intelligence
The increasing advancements in the technology has impacted in the creation of better
relationships among the computer interactions and humans. These fields are coming together
and the bridging of the gap has been done by the keyboards and touch screens. The aspect of
Artificial Intelligence is major breakthrough that has impacted the life of humans. The main
part of artificial intelligence is the NLP or Natural Language Processing. There is a decrease
in the requirement of commands of voice with rigidity and interfaces that are less user
friendly. The results of Google searches have been improved with the implementation of NLP
and this has also helped in the improvement of the authentication of two factor that is also
referred and 2FA. Apart from the artificial intelligence of google normal search, the quality
and popularity of the voice search has improved. The introduction of chatbots that are
empowered with the artificial intelligence is additional important discovery that is improving
the computer interactions and humans (Wenger, 2014).
Another breakthrough discovery is the computer vision combined with artificial
intelligence. The field of eye tracking is the most benefitted from the implementation of
artificial intelligence. The measurement and the understanding of the movements of the
activities of the gaze of humans is done with this technology that is highly advanced. The
availability of this technology is made easier with artificial intelligence, that was restricted
earlier to the labs of research, by owing the cost to which it is associated. With the addition of
artificial intelligence in the computer vision, the efficiency and the pocket friendly nature of
the eye tracking has increased. This technology has provided the possibility of new
discoveries with the tracking of eye (Bond & Gasser, 2014).
The technology has proved to be advantageous to several domains that includes the
research in marketing, gaming and virtual reality. The major benefit of eye tracking is the
enabling of the human interactions of an individual who have disabilities with a computer
