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. he 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. imilar 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.
ohn McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence, in the year 1 . e
is known as the Father of Artificial Intelligence.
Classification of AI
Artificial Intelligence can be classified as
l Weak AI
l Strong AI
hese terms were coined by ohn earle to differentiate performance in different kind of AI
Machines.
