Artificial Intelliegence (AI)

According to Gevarter William B. in the book:“ Intelligent Machines: An Introductory Perspective of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics”, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. In recent years, it has been advancing at an exponential rate.

AI has various subsets which contribute it, such as Machine learning, Deep Learning, NLP, Expert System, etc.

On the other hand, we can think that Deep Learning, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence as a set of Russian dolls nested within each other, beginning with the smallest, that is, Deep learning is a subset of Machine Learning and Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence.

The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) comprises of two words “Artificial” and “Intelligence”, where Artificial means “copy of something natural” and “Intelligence” means “able to think”. So, AI can be defined as a copy of a human brain with thinking ability.

According to John McCarthy (who is known as the father of AI), said that: “AI is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially computer programs” .The core scientific…
