"Software" refers to programs used through smart electronic devices such as desktop computers, laptops, and both regular and smartphones. These software programs are categorized based on their usage into traditional software and artificial intelligence (AI) software. Concerning usage, they can also be classified as operating systems, such as the famous Windows operating system and the iOS for Apple mobile phones, among other simpler and more complex operating systems. For instance, modern automatic washing machines have a simple operating system. In contrast, there are complex operating systems used in various industries, with a prime example being the electronics industry, where machines manufacturing microprocessors, various electronic boards, and RAM (Random Access Memory) chips are equipped with intricate operating systems. On the other hand, there are application programs that include thousands of applications for computers, smartphones, and various production lines in different industries.
Differences Between Traditional Software and Artificial Intelligence Software:
1. **Similarity:** Both traditional and AI software are designed, coded, and produced by humans, whether individually or as part of a team in a company. These programmers or developers are responsible for creating the software.
2. **Difference:** Traditional software requires revisiting the same source code or core algorithm of the program for modification and development to produce a version or release with enhanced capabilities. In contrast, AI software possesses the capability to self-improve and increase its potential through input data and by enhancing its output results and accuracy.
