AI Approach
In the previous class, you have learnt that artificial intelligence refers to the software technologies
that enable a robot or computer to act and think like humans. It is the simulation of human
intelligence processes through machines, especially computer systems. Artificial intelligence
imparts cognitive ability to machines, meaning it can make machines perform tasks in ways
that are considered intelligent.
INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence refers to the ability to think, to learn from previous experiences, to solve complex
problems and adapt to new things and environment.
TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE
Humans possess cognitive abilities to learn,
form concepts, understand, apply logic and
reason, including the capability of recognising
patterns, comprehend ideas, solve problems,
make decisions, retain information and use
language to communicate.
According to the Harvard psychologist Howard
Gardner's theories, humans do not just have
an intellectual capacity but also many kinds
of intelligence. A person can be strong in a
specific area, such as logical intelligence or
musical intelligence but simultaneously can
also possess a range of abilities.
