AI is a branch of Computer Science that focuses on simulating human intelligence in machines
and programming them to mimic human actions.
Domains of AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) means making machines think and learn like humans. Just like we
learn from experience, computers with AI can learn from data, understand questions, solve
problems, and even make decisions.
In 1981, Barr and Feigenbaum defined AI as, AI is the part of computer science concerned
with designing intelligent computer systems, that exhibit characteristics we associate with
intelligence in human behaviour, such as understanding language, learning, reasoning, solving
problems, and so on.

Picnic Planning like an AI
You're an AI assistant helping a family plan a picnic on a sunny Saturday.
They send you a photo of their items, a voice command, and you already have some data
about their past choices.
Your job as an AI assistant is to:
1. Look at the photo and choose what’s needed (e.g. sunglasses, water bottle).
2. Understand the command: Remind me to bring football and snacks at 3 PM.
3. Use past data: They always take juice, sandwiches, and a mat. What else might they
want?
Categories of Artificial Intelligence Based on Capabilities
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be grouped based on its abilities to think and act like humans.
These categories help us understand how advanced an AI system is, from performing simple
tasks to possibly surpassing human intelligence in the future.
• Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI): Also called Weak AI, it is designed to do one specific
task. For example, Siri, Alexa, Google Translate, face recognition on phones.
• Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Also known as Strong AI, it would be able to
think, learn, and solve problems like a human in any situation. For example, still under
research—no real examples yet, but it would be like a robot that can teach, play games, and
have conversations like a person.
