Artificial intelligence (AI) generally concerns the mechanisation of reasoning. Terminology stems from the notion of intelligence exhibited by man-made systems, usually assumed to be computers. Ambiguity on the interpretation of the word artificial led to the proposal of alternatives such as
Synthetic Intelligence or Algorithmic intelligence.
AI forms a vital branch of
computer science, dealing with intelligent
behavior,
learning and
adaptation in
machines.
Research in AI is concerned with producing machines to automate tasks requiring intelligent behavior. Examples include
control,
planning and scheduling, the ability to answer diagnostic and consumer questions,
handwriting,
speech, and
facial recognition. As such, it has become an
engineering discipline, focused on providing solutions to real life problems. AI systems are now in routine use in
economics,
medicine,
engineering and the
military, as well as being built into many common home computer
software applications, traditional
