This talk explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) mirrors the human journey of learning, failure, and growth. It introduces key branches of AI — Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Reinforcement Learning, and Generative AI — showing how machines learn to see, understand, adapt, and create. The session shares insights from Deep Reinforcement Learning, drawing parallels between how machines and humans learn through trial and error. It highlights transformers and their focus on attention as a metaphor for personal growth, and how NLP helps bridge understanding between humans and technology. Emphasizing ethics and responsibility, the talk underscores that AI is meant to amplify human potential, not replace it. Finally, it offers a glimpse into Quantum AI, exploring how it can unlock new frontiers in science and innovation through parallel learning and limitless possibilities. I am Kashika Jain, a B.Tech student in Computer Science (Data Science) at Amity University, Noida. I have interned at C-DAC, where I developed Transformer models for phonetic analysis of Indian languages, and at Arcturus Business Solutions, applying YOLOv8 and fine-tuned LLMs for defect detection and NLP solutions. My projects span AI frameworks for Alzheimer’s prognosis, financial market prediction, and an AI-powered financial advisory system. I have also published research in IEEE and Springer, focusing on translating AI innovations into real-world applications. Driven by a passion for leveraging AI to solve complex problems, I aim to create impactful solutions that bridge cutting-edge research and practical implementation.
