                   i +  ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

                  Computer is an electronic device that can store and process data according to the instructions
                  given to it. It has become an essential part of our lives and its requirement is growing exponentially.
                  Since its invention, scientists and researchers are continuously working on improving its speed,
                  reducing its size and making it more powerful in terms of its capability to complete a task with
                  least human involvements.

                  Scientists always stumbled upon the question, “Can a machine think and behave like humans?“.
                  This question led to the invention of one of the most advanced technologies of all times, AI.

                  Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that pursues the creation of  computers
                  and machines which are as intelligent as human beings.

                  According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy, AI is “the science and engineering
                  of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”.
                  AI-Terminologies


                  There are some frequently used terms in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Let us understand
                  them.

                  Machine Learning

                  Machine  learning  allows  a  machine  to  predict
                  more accurate results without  being explicitly
                  programmed to do so. It is a subset of artificial
                  intelligence.




                                                             Algorithms

                                                             A set of rules or instructions given to an AI machine is
                                                             known as algorithm. It helps an AI machine to learn on
                                                             its own.
