Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the study and design of intelligent agents or networks. AI is closely tied to the study of decision theory in mathematics and computer science. Decision theory
is concerned with identifying the values, risks and uncertainties associated with important decisions. The goal of AI is to develop new approaches to reasoning and problem solving. What all AI systems share in common is the ability to reason, problem solve and take corrective action based on preprogrammed assumptions and information inputs.
There are two distinguishing features that characterize all
AI systems. First, the AI system must have the ability to scan its external surroundings. Second, the AI system must have the ability to evaluate a situation and initiate an appropriate decision/response. The decision must be rationale.
We call this adaptation.
