ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines or software as opposed to the intelligence
of humans or animals. It is a field of study in computer science which develops and studies
intelligent machines. It may also refer to the intelligent machines themselves.

AI technology is widely used throughout industry, government and science. Some high-profile
applications are: advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search), recommendation
systems (used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix), understanding human speech (such as Google
Assistant, and also self-driving cars, (e.g., Waymo), generative and creative tools (ChatGPT, and
superhuman play and analysis in strategy games (such as chess and Go).

Artificial intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956. The field went through multiple
cycles of optimism followed by disappointment and loss of funding, but after 2012, when deep
learning surpassed all previous AI techniques, there was a vast increase in funding and interest.

The various sub-fields of AI research are centered around particular goals and the use of particular
tools. The traditional goals of AI research include reasoning, knowledge representation, planning,
learning, natural language processing, perception and support for robotics.

General intelligence (the ability to complete any task performable by a human) is among the field's
long-term goals. To solve these problems, AI researchers have adapted and integrated a wide range
of problem-solving techniques, including search and mathematical optimization, formal
logic, artificial neural networks, and methods based on statistics, operations research,
and economics. AI also draws upon psychology, linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience and many
other fields.

The general problem of simulating (or creating) intelligence has been broken down into sub-
problems. These consist of particular traits or capabilities that researchers expect an intelligent
system to display. The traits described below have received the most attention and cover the scope
of AI research.
