Intelligence is the ability to think, understand and learn
                 from  previous experience  to  act  in a  given  situation.
                 Intelligence can be of two types—natural intelligence and

                 artificial intelligence.





                  i +  NATURAL INTELLIGENCE

                                                    Natural intelligence is gifted by nature to humans and
                                                    some animals.

                                                    For example, when you take a sip of hot milk, you feel
                                                    the heat and put the cup away to cool down. Once
                                                    this has happened to you for the first time, you always

                                                    check before  taking  a sip next  time. This is called
                                                    experience.  From such  experiences,  human  beings
                                                    become intelligent.





                  i +  ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

                 Artificial Intelligence or AI refers to the intelligence

                 created  by  humans.  In  other  words,  Artificial
                 Intelligence is the ablity of a machine to think and
                 learn. It makes machines as smart as humans.



                 Artificially Intelligent Devices


                 There are many devices or gadgets made by human beings for different purposes
                 which have artificial intelligence. Let us have a look at a few examples.



                                                   AI in Toys

                                                   Aibo is an artificial dog with artificial intelligence. It can

                                                   do many things that a dog can do. For example, it can
                                                   bark like a dog, play with toys, listen to your commands
                                                   and identify different people.
