Artificial Intelligence – Definition
Artificial Intelligence is the study and design of intelligent agents (computers) which have the ability to analyze the environments and produce actions which maximize success.
A computer is termed as intelligent if it has the ability for gathering information, analyze it to make decisions, and act to complete a task automatically with very little to no human intervention.
Advantages of AI
There are many advantages that an AI machine has over humans. Some of them are:
- Speed of execution: Computers have better memories. They can be fed a large amount of information and can retrieve it almost instantaneously. While a doctor makes a diagnosis in ~10 minutes, an AI system can make a million in the same duration.
- They are not lazy: Computers don’t require sleep the way humans do. They can calculate, analyze, and perform tasks tirelessly and round the clock without wearing out.
- Accuracy: Computers have a very high accuracy in some tasks.
- Less Biased: Computers are not affected or influenced by emotions, feelings, wants, needs, and other factors that often cloud our judgment and intelligence.
