What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Giving the ability for computer to think is called AI, it is decision making based on data you have. If you have enough data you can tell a computer to make some decision as you would, it is allowing computer to think like a human or mimic how humans think.

The story goes way back when once in a meeting of experts one young man suggest what if we let computer’s think. everyone laugh at this idea of course, then the man explained what is thinking we try something out if it works we remember it and every time we see it happening we try that since it works and if we fails we do not try that any more

This concept let to the development of artificial intelligence software of course they are software that mimic or do the behavior like humans search through their database to see if any pattern fit in the scenario if it does it try it out if not it does not

Surprisingly the game you know well about "the chess", computer plays the same way, it knows all the rules and it plays with you like a noob and try to win. Every time it wins the moves are remembered and   next time it try to match that moves with you and try to find a wining position. When you do this or play chess with computer for lot of times it eventually will get better and beat you, and you will no longer will able to win.

AI in real world has taken many steps now facial recognition system, text to speech, and speech to text and there are many more. most of these system works on algorithm that given to them the use that to find out the task. there are other things like neural networks and genetic algorithm which you can train to do a task or set a goal and let the computer find a solution. neural network is model after neuron function of the brain. it makes artificial neurons and try to achieve a same functionality as them using some mathematical formulas so it will mimic the behavior of the brain but to complete  modeling a human brain is yet to be achieved since it takes lot of them and research current technology could not yet achieve it.

So that is how the AI was made, it learn by experience, it is mimicking the behavior of humans and try to do what is right?
