Definition

The ability of a computer or other machine to perform those activities that are normally thought to require intelligence.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it. Textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents, "where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximize its chances of success.

History

The field was established at Dartmouth College in 1956 and given its name by a man named John McCarthy

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Blaise Pascal created the calculators. It could think but not on its own.

Arthur Samuel’s checker playing program learned to improve its own playing ability

Deep Blue program defeated world chess champion Gary Kasparov in 1997

Movies have been made about it.

Types of AI
