Artificial  Intelligence  (AI)  refers  to  the  simulation  of  human  intelligence  in  machines  that  are
            programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The term may also be applied to any
            machine that exhibits qualities associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving.

            What is Intelligence?

            The ability to calculate, reason, perceive relationships and analogies, learn from experience, store
            and  retrieve  information  from  memory,  solve  problems,  comprehend  complex  ideas,  use  natural
            language fluently, classify, generalise, and adapt new situations is known as intelligence.






















            Some of the forms of intelligence are as follows:
               • The ability to understand and use spoken and written language.
               • The ability to recognise and create musical pitch, rhythm, timbre and tone.
               • The ability to think logically, reason, and identify connections.
               • The ability to accumulate visual information, change it, and recreate it without referring to the
               objects.

               • The ability to learn by doing, exploring and discovering.
               • The ability to know our strengths, weaknesses, values and morals.
               • The ability to manage, connect with people, manage masses, easily adapt to social situations,
               understand the behaviour of other people.
               • The ability to identify, classify and manipulate elements of the environment, objects, animals or
               plants.
            You can say that a machine or a system is artificially intelligent when it is equipped with at least one
            form of intelligence.

            Human Intelligence

            Human brain is one of the most intricate and mysterious organs of the human body. It is extremely
            powerful and also capable of performing the following functions:

               • Learn from different experiences
               • Understand complex concepts
               • Apply logic and reason to solve mathematical problems

               • Recognise patterns
