                 Long time back humans designed machines to reduce their work. Any tedious task can be done by machines.
                 With the time these machines are made smart so that along with sharing the load of tedious tasks, the machine
                 can think and take small decisions. Which technology has helped in making the machines smart with decision
                 making power? The answer is Artificial Intelligence. In this chapter, we will study the fundamental concepts of
                 Artificial Intelligence.

                 Artificial intelligence is an approach to make machines which can think and make decisions. The term 'Artificial
                 Intelligence'  consists  of  two  words:  Artificial  and  Intelligence.  Artificial  means  not  natural,  it's  man-made.
                 Intelligence means ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. To understand further, let's explore the
                 term intelligence.



                         What is Intelligence?



                 In simple terms, Intelligence is how good you are in languages or science or music or art. You cannot be
                 naturally skilled at the same things that include your school subjects, music, sports etc. You may be good in
                 sports with perfect body coordination but not in mathematics. Your friend may be good at learning and using
                 words and languages. May be the other friend is good with numbers and data analysis. Your ability to learn and
                 understand these will depend on your skills and qualities. Then using this gathered knowledge and skills you
                 apply them to your life.

                 Intelligence has the following features:
                    • Ability to communicate and interact effectively with the people around you and the surrounding environment
                   so that you can recognize, understand and then respond in terms of your actions.
                   For example, if you see a snake your intelligence will tell you to run away to a safe place. Similarly, if you meet
                   somebody known your intelligence will tell you to greet the person warmly.
