                     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.
