Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, the intelligence of machine &the branch of computer science that aims to create it.  It is also the study and design of intelligent agents, where intelligent agent means a system that perceives its environment &takes action that maximizes its chance of success. John Mc Carthy who coined the term AI defines the AI as “The science & engineering of making intelligent machines.”
 

 Artificial intelligence is the combination of computer science, philosophy & physiology. Artificial intelligence has been subject of optimism, but has also suffers setbacks & today has become an essential part of technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many most difficult problems in computer science. AI in the broadest sense indicates the ability of an artefact to perform the same kind of functions that characterize human thought.

 Game playing, speech recognition, understanding natural language, computer vision, automated planning and scheduling and robotics are the main applications of artificial intelligence.
