Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science and engineering that deals with intelligent behavior, learning, and adaptation in machines. Research in AI is concerned with producing machines to automate tasks requiring intelligent behavior. For eg. control, planning and scheduling, answer diagnostic and consumer questions, handwriting, and facial recognition

Schools of thought
AI divides roughly into two schools of thought:
1. Conventional AI ( machine learning ) 2. Computational Intelligence (CI) , also referred to as Synthetic Intelligence to highlight the differences.

Approaches to AI

Neat (classical or symbolic) : involves symbolic manipulation of abstract concepts, and is the methodology used in most expert systems. Scruffy (connectionist) of which a artificial neural networks are the best-known example, which try to "evolve" intelligence through building systems and then improving them through some automatic process rather than systematically designing something to complete the task
