                                                               CYCLE AND ETHICS










              Since ancient times, humans have tried to be better than others and moved forward with the creation of tools
              that aided them to stay ahead of every other living being. In an attempt to make life easier, humans tried to make
              machines intelligent and smarter. These days we have machines that can think and respond in ways similar to
              human being. This is how the concept of smart machines came into existence. In this chapter, we will explore how
              that change happened and how we came so far.


                       What is Intelligence?

              Intelligence  is the  ability  to  learn  from experience,  recognise  problems and  solve  problems. According  to
              Sternberg—”Intelligence is the capacity to learn from experience, using metacognitive processes to enhance
              learning, and the ability to adapt to the surrounding environment.”
              Intelligence is the capacity to learn and behave adaptively. It can be defined as a person’s ability to think and to
              learn. For example, students are considered intelligent if they understand the subject content and are able to score
              above-average grades.

                       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 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”.
