10                Intelligence and AI Approaches
















                      Your Aim


                      to learn about:
                               Intelligence                            Types of Intelligence
                                 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.
