Allen Newell and Herbert Simon contributed to the theory by writing the first AI program a few years later. The process of AI research, then,experienced a period of lull, with no advancements in the study.Around the 90s, IBM’s AI computer Deep Blue beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov, and AI gained traction again, compelling scientists and researchers to rigorously march towards catalyzing advancements and experiments in the field.Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving. The ideal characteristic of artificial intelligence is its ability to rationalize and take actions that have the best chance of achieving a specific goal.Simply put, Artificial Intelligence is the concept of building a computer program that can think, act and behave like humans by analyzing the behavioral surroundings, complexities, and contexts, take actionable decisions, surpassing human intelligence.Apple’s Siri, Microsoft Cortana, Amazon’s Alexa using the AI speech recognition feature, flights using an AI Auto Pilot mode, robotics using AI techniques, self-driving cars, etc., are different use-cases and implementations of Artificial Intelligence in today’s date.Facebook using the Facial recognition techniques and neural networks to identify faces and tag automatically, Google’s language translations, etc., are various tasks AI programs can do efficiently. Google Maps use AI-powered predictions to gauge movement of traffic, identify accidents or road-blocks, thereby suggesting shortest and fastest routes to the commuter.Pinterest recommending visibly similar pins by using AI computer vision, Instagram auto-suggesting emojis and hashtags by analyzing the thought behind a…
