Newell and Herbert Simon

In the year 1981

DEFINITION

AI - The branch of computer science that

deal with writing computer programs that
can solve problems creatively

Study and design of intelligent agents

The science and engineering of making

intelligent machines.
 AI – A POSSIBILITY
  Sapience of Homo sapiens.

 philosophical issues about the nature of

the mind
 AI – attempts not just to understand but
also to build intelligent entities
SUBFIELDS
 General-purpose areas such as playing
chess, writing poetry, etc

CONCLUSION

Artificial intelligence has been the subject

of optimism, but has also suffered
setbacks and, today, has become an
essential part of the technology industry,
providing the heavy lifting for many of the
most difficult problems in computer
science.
