Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is both the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it. According to scientists, it is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. Moreover, the ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times, and today the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality.

Since the development of the digital computer in the 1940s, it has been demonstrated that computers can be programmed to do very complex tasks. Can a machine think? Or do computer programs have a high IQs? The answer is very easy. No, because IQ correlates well with various measures of success or failure in life. Furthermore, various people have said that since Artificial Intelligence has not reached human level by now and it must be impossible. According to scientists, the ultimate effort is to make computer programs that can solve problems and achieve goals in the world as well as humans. Computers are fundamentally well suited to performing mechanical computations, using fixed programmed rules. This allows artificial machines to perform simple monotonous tasks efficiently and reliably. Artificial Intelligence systems have many practical uses in business, computer chess and other video games.

To sum up, it is quite hard to imagine that machines can be capable of doing tasks originally done by humans. Robots have already begun to replace factory workers. They are acting as surgeons, pilots, astronauts. In the future Artificial Intelligence will occupy all our activities.
