Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to intelligence demonstrated by machines rather than natural intelligence expressed by humans or animals.
Leading AI
textbooks define AI as the study of "intelligent agents," or systems
hat understand their surroundings and take actions that increase their chances
of attaining their objectives.
However,
prominent AI researchers reject this definition, which uses the term
"artificial intelligence" to denote robots that simulate "cognitive"
functions that humans connect with the human mind, such as "learning"
and "problem solving."

Definition Of AI
Artificial
intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines,
especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert
systems, natural language processing, speech recognition and machine vision
History of AI
The area of AI study began in 1956 during a workshop at Dartmouth College, when John McCarthy created the name "Artificial Intelligence" to separate it from cybernetics and avoid the influence of Norbert Wiener, a cyberneticist. [26] Allen Newell (CMU), Herbert Simon (CMU), John McCarthy (MIT), Marvin Minsky (MIT), and Arthur Samuel (IBM) were among the attendees who went on to become the pioneers and leaders of AI research.
They and
their students created "astonishing" programmes, such as learning
checkers tactics (around 1954) (and reputedly playing better than the average
human by 1959), solving algebraic word problems, establishing logical theorems
(Logic Theorist, first run c. 1956), and speaking English. By the middle of the
1960s, the Department of Defense had significantly financed research in the
United States, and facilities had been constructed all over the world. The
pioneers of AI were hopeful about the future: Herbert Simon anticipated that
"machines will be capable of completing any task a man can do within
twenty years." Marvin Minsky agreed, writing, "within a generation
... the problem of creating 'artificial intelligence' will substantially be
solved"
They failed
to recognize the difficulty of some of the remaining tasks. Progress slowed and
in 1974, in response to the criticism of Sir James Lighthill and ongoing pressure
from the US Congress to fund more productive projects, both the U.S. and
British governments cut off exploratory research in AI. The next few years
would later be called an "AI winter"
The
commercial success of expert systems resurrected AI research in the early
1980s.
The AI
market had grown to over a billion dollars by 1985. At the same time, the
United States and the United Kingdom were motivated by Japan's fifth generation
computer programmer to reinstate financing for university research.
In the late
1990s and early 2000s, AI gradually regained its reputation by discovering
particular solutions to specific challenges, such as logistics, data mining,
and medical diagnostics. AI solutions were frequently employed behind the
scenes by the year 2000.
According to Bloomberg's Jack Clark, 2015 marked a watershed moment for artificial intelligence, with more than 2,700 software projects using AI at Google, up from "sporadic usage" in 2012.
In a 2017
survey, one in five companies reported they had "incorporated AI in some
offerings or processes"
