                 In previous class, you have learned that artificial intelligence refers to the software technologies
                 that  make  a  robot  or  computer  act  and  think  like  humans.  It  is  the  simulation  of  human
                 intelligence  processes  through  machines,  especially  computer  systems.  Artificial  intelligence
                 imparts cognitive ability to machines, meaning it can make machines perform tasks in ways that
                 are intelligent.

                     INTELLIGENCE

                 Intelligence refers to the ability to think, to learn from previous experience, to solve complex
                 problems and to adapt new things and environment.


                     TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE

                 Humans  possess  cognitive  abilities  to  learn,
                 form  concepts,  understand,  apply  logic  and
                 reason, including the capability of recognising
                 patterns,  comprehend  ideas,  solve problems,

                 make  decisions,  retain  information  and  use
                 language to communicate.
                 According to the Harvard psychologist Howard
                 Gardner's  theories, humans do not just have

                 an intellectual capacity but also many kinds of
                 intelligence. A person can be strong in a specific
                 area,  such  as  logical  intelligence  or  musical
                 intelligence but simultaneously can also possess
                 a range of abilities.
