Ever since machines were invented, humans have been trying to make machines smarter like themselves.
Thus we can say artificial intelligence is associating machines with human thinking process like decision
making, problem solving and learning through the available database. In other words, we can say AI
is the study of how to make computers think like humans in the fields at which they are better like
decision making and logical thinking.

To understand AI, we need to understand the unique thinking capabilities of human beings. We effortlessly

INTRODUCING AI

“One of our big goals in search is to make search that really understands exactly what you want, understands
everything in the world. As computer scientists, we call that artificial intelligence.”

—Larry Page, Google Co-founder
In simple terms, we can define AI as a machine that can simulate human thought process and can take
actions based on those thoughts and even draw conclusions. It should also be able to correct itself, if it
makes a mistake. This also means that AI-based computer would be able to make a decision in a given
situation like human beings and in some cases even better.
TERMINOLOGIES ASSOCIATED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
