INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The short answer to what is Artificial Intelligence is that it depends on who you
ask. A layman with a fleeting understanding of technology
would link it to robots. They would say Artificial Intelligence
is a terminator-like figure that can act and think on its own.If
you ask about Artificial Intelligence to an AI researcher, the
answer would be that it is a set of algorithm that can produce
results withouthaving to be explicitly instructed to do so.
So, to summarize, Artificial Intelligence means:
 An intelligent entity created by humans.
 Capable of performing tasks intelligently
without being explicitly instructed.
 Capable of thinking and acting rationally and
humanely.

 Open OO Writer and type the paragraph
