Before understanding Artificial Intelligence, we must know about intelligence.

                 Intelligence

                 Intelligence is the ability to gain knowledge and understanding, using our thoughts, experiences
                 and senses. When someone translates understanding into action, we call them intelligent. Human
                 intelligence is the intellectual power of humans. It gives them the cognitive abilities to learn, form
                 concepts, understand, and act. Using these abilities, they can study patterns and ideas, plan and
                 solve problems, and even use language to communicate.
                 Features of Human Intelligence

                 Humans are the most intelligent living body on planet Earth. Some of the key features of human
                 intelligence are:

                 l    Humans can interpret incomplete data.

                 l    Humans can make sense from contradictory data.

                 l    Humans can analyse and refine uncertain data.
                 l    Humans can learn from mistakes.

                 Artificial Intelligence

                 Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to an artificial creation of human-like intelligence in machines,
                 so that they can learn, reason, plan, perceive, or process natural language. The basis of Artificial
                 Intelligence is to make machines, that can mimic like human being. Humans get their intelligence
                 naturally, as they are born with it. When machines are designed and built to display intelligence, it
                 is called Artificial Intelligence. Similar to humans these machines can also learn, understand and
                 reason things out. They use sensors to collect information, process it to plan and solve the problems
                 and even use language to communicate.
                 In simple words, we can say that intelligence in machines is called Artificial Intelligence.






                   John McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence, in the year 1955. He
                   is known as the Father of Artificial Intelligence.





                 Classification of AI

                 Artificial Intelligence can be classified as:

                 l    Weak AI
                 l    Strong AI

                 These  terms  were  coined  by  John  Searle  to  differentiate  performance  in  different  kind  of  AI
                 Machines.
