Understanding Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an emerging field that focuses on developing and studying intelligent machines. It is the creation of computer programs that can mimic human intelligence and perform tasks that require human-like cognition. The history of AI dates back to 1956 when it was established as an academic discipline. Over the years, AI has gone through cycles of optimism and disappointment but has recently experienced a resurgence of interest and funding.
