                  Let’s PLug-in
                   Write an eight-letter word that starts and ends with 'E'.


                              E                                                              E
                    You have guessed the above word using your intelligence. Intelligence helps us solve problems
                    by applying logic and reasoning using our cognitive abilities.



                 In previous class, you have learnt 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.
