Chapter 1: Human and Artificial Intelligence Class 6

🧭 Chapter Overview

Humans are intelligent beings — we think, learn, and solve problems.
But in today’s world, machines can also learn, think, and make decisions — this is called Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This chapter helps us understand:

  • What intelligence means
  • The difference between human and artificial intelligence
  • Why we need AI and how it works

1.1 Introduction to Intelligence

💡 Definition:

Intelligence is the ability to think, learn, understand, and solve problems.
It allows humans (and AI systems) to make decisions, adapt, and improve.


🧠 In Simple Words:

Intelligence means using knowledge and experience to act wisely.


📋 Example:

SituationIntelligent Action
You see rain cloudsYou carry an umbrella 🌂
You forget a factYou look it up or recall it from memory
You face a puzzleYou find patterns and solve it

1.2 What is Intelligence Made Of?

Intelligence is not one single ability — it’s made of many components that help us think and act smartly.


⚙️ Main Components of Intelligence:

ComponentDescriptionExample
LearningGaining knowledge or skillsLearning a new language
ReasoningMaking logical decisionsChoosing the best route
Problem SolvingFinding solutions to challengesSolving a riddle
PerceptionUnderstanding surroundings using sensesSeeing, hearing, or touching
MemoryStoring and recalling informationRemembering your friend’s birthday
CreativityCreating new ideas or artPainting or inventing a new tool

1.4 Difference Between Human Intelligence and Machine Intelligence

FeatureHuman IntelligenceMachine Intelligence
NatureNatural (biological brain)Artificial (programmed)
LearningFrom experience and emotionFrom data and patterns
CreativityHigh (can imagine new things)Limited (follows code)
Decision MakingBased on logic + emotionBased on logic only
AdaptabilityCan adjust to new situationsNeeds reprogramming
SpeedSlower in calculationsExtremely fast
Error RateCan make mistakesFewer mistakes if coded right

1.5 Artificial Intelligence

💡 Definition:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science that enables machines to think, learn, and make decisions like humans.


⚙️ In Simple Words:

AI means teaching computers to act smartly — like recognizing speech, playing games, or driving cars.


🧩 Examples of AI:

AI ApplicationWhat It Does
Google AssistantUnderstands speech & answers
ChatGPTGenerates text like a human
Self-driving CarsDetects and reacts to objects
Face RecognitionIdentifies people from photos
