What Is Artificial Intelligence(AI)?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to natural intelligence displayed by animals including humans. Leading AI textbooks define the field as the study of “intelligent agents”: any system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of achieving its goals. There are various types of Artificial Intelligence but primarily they are divided into four categories:
• Reactive Machines
• Limited Memory
• Theory of Mind
• Self-Awareness
Artificial Intelligence is on the verge of the rise and has taken up some roles around us that we are seldom aware of. These are technologies developed by humans to continuously learn from its behavior and inputs to give out responses. A few of the examples of Artificial Intelligence working in our day to day lives around us are as follows:
• Siri, Alexa, and other Smart Personal Assistants
• Self-Driving Cars
• Robot Advisors
• Conversational Bots
• Email Filters
• Netflix’s/ Amazon Prime’s Show recommendation.
