Artificial Intelligence


              Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that simulate human intelligence into machines, especially
              in computer systems, so that they can think and perform actions similar to humans. The main aim of AI is to develop
              machines with intelligence like humans and having qualities like perception [the acquisition of information and rules
              for using the information], reasoning [using rules to reach the approximate or definite conclusions], and learning
              [self-corrections]. The term Artificial Intelligence is made up of two words: Artificial and Intelligence.


                                                          Artificial Intelligence

              Artificial means “human-made” and Intelligence means “ability to think and make decisions”. In simple words,
              Artificial refers to the things made by humans and Intelligence refers to the ability of people to think and learn
              from their past experiences.

              Artificial Intelligence covers a wide range of systems and applications that have the ability to think and act like
              humans. It is used for creating machines with programmed algorithms which can take decisions like humans do.

              AI has made a greater impact on humanity than any other innovation till date.



                            Brainy Fact


                      In 1956, John McCarthy first coined the term “Artificial Intelligence” and defined it as the
                      science and engineering of making intelligent machines. Later in 2006, he was referred to as
                      the “Father of Artificial Intelligence”.




                       Types of AI


              AI has already become an integral part of our daily life, therefore, it’s important to understand what AI can
              actually do. In fact, AI is a broad term which includes Machine Learning, Big Data, and Natural Language

              Processing (NLP) as its subsets. These subsets can also be classified by the level of intelligence.
              AI can be classified into three categories:
              •  Weak AI                   • Strong AI                  • Super AI



                                                          Artificial Intelligence



                                      Weak AI                 Strong AI                 Super AI



              Let us learn about them in detail.
