Chapter 2: Core Technologies Behind AI Tools

Image
Abstract: The core technologies behind modern AI tools are  Machine Learning  (especially deep learning and neural networks),  Natural Language Processing ,  Computer Vision , and  Generative AI , all underpinned by powerful computing infrastructure and vast datasets.   Core AI Technologies Machine Learning (ML):  Systems use this technology to automatically learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions or predictions without explicit programming. Types of Machine Learning include: Supervised Learning:  This type of learning uses labeled data to predict outcomes, such as email spam detection. Unsupervised Learning:  This method finds patterns in unlabeled data, for example, customer segmentation. Reinforcement Learning:  This approach learns through trial and error, using a system of rewards and penalties, for example, training autonomous vehicles. Deep Learning (DL):  A specialized subset of ML uses artificial ...

Chapter 1: Introduction to AI Tools

Image
Abstract: AI tools are  software using artificial intelligence to perform tasks like data analysis, content creation, and decision-making , leveraging machine learning to find patterns in vast data to automate processes, enhance productivity, and solve complex problems across industries, from simple chatbots to advanced medical diagnostics, by mimicking human intelligence for specific goals.   This video provides a beginner's guide to various AI tools: How They Work Data-Driven Learning:  AI tools are fed massive datasets, allowing them to identify patterns and correlations, learning from examples rather than explicit programming. Algorithms:  They use techniques like Machine Learning (ML),  Natural Language Processing  (NLP), and  Computer Vision  to understand, interpret, and generate information. Task-Specific:  Most AI excels at specific tasks, like generating text (ChatGPT), creating images (Midjourney), or powering virtual a...

Appendix 4: Government Policies and Incentives for Electric Vehicles in India

Image
Indian government policies for EVs focus on  demand incentives (FAME II, PM E-DRIVE), tax breaks (low GST, income tax deduction), and boosting domestic manufacturing (PLI scheme, import duty cuts) . Key incentives include direct subsidies on purchase (per kWh), lower GST (5% for EVs/chargers), tax deduction on EV loan interest (Sec 80EEB), and support for charging infra, with recent schemes like PM E-DRIVE targeting two-wheelers and public transport.   Central Government Schemes & Policies: FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles):  India's main scheme offering demand incentives (subsidies) based on battery size (kWh) for 2/3/4-wheelers and e-buses, supporting adoption and infrastructure. PM E-DRIVE  (Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement):  A newer scheme (Oct 2024 - Mar 2026) with ₹10,900 crore for subsidies on e-2Ws, 3Ws, e-buses, ambulances, & trucks, plus charging infra, using e-vouchers. Produc...

Appendix 1: Glossary of Important Electric Vehicle Terms

Image
An EV glossary covers vehicle types (BEV, PHEV, HEV), power/charging terms (kW, kWh, AC/DC, CCS, Level 1/2/3), and key technologies like  Regenerative Braking ,  Battery Management Systems  (BMS), and  Range Anxiety , defining essential vocabulary for understanding electric vehicles, from all-electric cars (BEV) to hybrids (PHEV/HEV) and charging infrastructure.   Vehicle Types BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) :  Runs purely on electricity from a large battery, requiring plug-in charging (e.g., Tesla Model 3). PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) :  Combines an electric motor/battery with a gasoline engine, offering electric-only range and extended hybrid driving (e.g., Toyota Prius Prime). HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) :  Uses a gasoline engine primarily, with a small battery and motor for improved efficiency, but cannot be plugged in (e.g., standard Prius). FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) :  Uses hydrogen fuel to generate elec...
