In the previous class, we have learnt that artificial intelligence refers to the software technologies
that enable 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.
