In the previous class, we have learnt that artificial intelligence refers to the software technologies
                 that enable a robot or computer 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 intelligent.



                           INTELLIGENCE


                 Intelligence refers to the ability to think, learn from previous experience, solve complex problems
                 and adapt to new things and environment.



                           TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE

                 Humans  possess  the  cognitive  abilities  to  learn, form concepts,  understand,  apply  logic  and
                 reason, including the capability to recognise 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.
                 There are multiple types of intelligence according to Howard Gardner. Let's learn about them.
