What is Artificial Intelligence ?
Artificial intelligence is the study of systems
that act in a way that to any observer would
appear to be intelligent.

Artificial Intelligence involves using methods
based on the intelligent behavior of humans
and other animals to solve complex problems.

AI is concerned with real-world problems
(difficult tasks), which require complex and
sophisticated reasoning processes and
knowledge.

User Interface : The user interface is
the display screen that the user deals
with. It gives the user the ability to ask
questions and get answers. It also

recurring patterns in what they are
seeing and recognize the connections
between the perceived patterns and
similar patterns stored in database.

Artificial Intelligence
Turing test - a
human judge
converses by means
of a computer
terminal with two
entities hidden in
another location--
one a person typing
on a keyboard, the
other a software
program
Following the
conversation, the
judge must decide
which entity is
human. In this test,
intelligence--the
ability to think--is
demonstrated by the
computers success
in fooling the judge.

Artificial Intelligence
To conclude:

AI is a very fascinating field. It can help us solve
difficult, real-world problems, creating new
opportunities in business, engineering, and many
other application areas.

Even though AI technology is integrated into the
fabric of everyday life. The ultimate promises of AI
are still decades away and the necessary
advances in knowledge and technology will
require a sustained fundamental research effort.
