Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science of creating intelligent machines that can perform tasks like humans such as decision making, learning, and problem solving. The document discusses some examples of AI achievements including Deep Blue defeating Garry Kasparov at chess in 1997, an equation prover solving long-standing mathematical proofs, and Watson winning the quiz show Jeopardy by understanding natural language and processing large amounts of data. Challenges to developing advanced AI include vast decision making possibilities, understanding complex systems, interpreting physical objects in real-time, and computational speed.
