            Long time back humans designed machines to reduce their work. Any tedious task can be done by machines.
            With the time these machines are made smart so that along with sharing the load of tedious tasks, the machine
            can think and take small decisions. Which technology has helped in making the machines smart with decision
            making power? The answer is Artificial Intelligence. In this chapter, we will study the fundamental concepts of
            Artificial Intelligence.

            Artificial intelligence is an approach to make machines which can think and make decisions. The term 'Artificial
            Intelligence'  consists  of  two  words:  Artificial  and  Intelligence.  Artificial  means  not  natural,  it's  man-made.
            Intelligence means ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. To understand further, let's explore the
            term intelligence.


                    Automated versus Autonomous Systems


            In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, automated and autonomous systems have emerged as key
            components of various industries and sectors. These systems, with their unique capabilities and functionalities
            are transforming the way tasks are performed, making processes more efficient, accurate, and streamlined.


            Concept of Automated versus Autonomous Systems for Deterministic

            versus Probabilistic

            In the realm of technology and artificial intelligence, the concepts of automated and autonomous systems play
            significant roles in shaping our modern world. These systems represent different levels of control, decision-
            making, and adaptability, depending on the specific tasks they are designed to perform. Automated systems
            follow  pre-defined  rules  and  instructions  to  execute  tasks  efficiently  and  accurately,  while  autonomous
            systems possess the ability to make decisions and adapt their behaviour based on their environment or inputs.
