What is artificial intelligence?

No universally accepted definition. AI is the endeavor of building intelligent artifact.

  • ability to learn
  • faculty of good sense, to adapt to circumstances
  • ability to perform well in an intellingence test
  • branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers
  • program that can sense, reason, act and adapt
  • pass the turing test (the imitation game)

Mimicking human behavior

Weak AI: can a machine exhibit intelligent behavior? Strong AI: can a machine be self-aware?

Artificial Intelligence vs Machine Learning vs Deep Learning (AI vs ML vs DL)

AI: A program that can sense, reason, act and adapt ML: Algorithms whose performance improve with experience as they are exposed to more data over time DL: Subset of ML in which multi-layered neural networks learn from vast amounts of data
