Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of research that has achieved immense success in recent years and accelerated our technological and digital boom. Everyone knows how beneficial the page or video recommendations on Google and Youtube are and how exactly the image or keyword search is carried out. We know that robots can serve as domestic help or support airport services. But do we know what is happening in the background of the search? Do we know how AI “thinks”? And above all: do we even know their limits?

The Concept of “Artificial Intelligence”

First of all, Artificial Intelligence is a field of science that encompasses several specialist areas, such as psychology, linguistics and computer science, among others. It is dedicated to the task of simulating and automating intelligent behavior. With the aim of developing software that can solve problems for which intelligence is required. It describes functions that develop complex problem solutions and their feasibility in order to support or replace human activity.

AI is divided into two levels: symbolic and sub-symbolic AI. Symbolic AI uses given knowledge and brings about logical knowledge and conclusions in the function of “if-then” formulations. Sub-symbolic AI uses arbitrary…
