    Artificial Intelligence

                     Artificial Intelligence focuses on building smart machines that are capable of performing a wide
                     range of tasks which usually requires human intelligence and cognition.

                     These intelligent machines are infused with the following capabilities:
                        • Learning from experience and historical data
                        • Analysing their surrounding environment
                        • Performing actions accordingly

                        • Recognise patterns
                        • Recognise faces and objects

                     Are Computers Smarter?

                     It is true that computers become smarter and more sophisticated over time. Computers that are
                     close to human beings are represented as a possible threat. For example, movies like Terminator,
                     Matrix, where the world is dominated by computers equipped with artificial intelligence. These days
                     computers are equipped with brains made by humans with the vision that one day these machines
                     will surpass its creators. Though the progress is slow but they are improving in their intelligence
                     activities and capabilities.

                     Similarities between Humans and Machines

                     Nowadays, machines have various qualities similar to humans in various aspects. Some of them are
                     as follows:

                        • Just like humans, machines can learn too.
                        • Humans and machines have a tendency to understand the situations and take actions accordingly.
                        • Humans and machines, both have memories to store information.
                        • Humans and machines have vision to see things and both can sense the obstacles and  move on
                        their own.

                        • Machines and humans can converse with each other. Humans use language for conversations and
                        machine use natural language processing for conversation.

                                                                                   Human vs Machine Intelligence  119
