The document discusses artificial intelligence (AI) and provides definitions, a timeline of important developments, opportunities and challenges of AI, and examples of areas where AI is used. It defines AI as simulating human intelligence through machine learning, using experience to draw conclusions, and working independently. The document outlines key areas of AI application like robotics, machine translation, and image analysis. It also discusses deep learning and machine learning, defining them as systems that can learn autonomously from data.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

5. INTRODUCTION
Definition
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of
computer science that describes the research
and development of simulated human
intelligent behavior in machines.
“This involves researching methods that
enable a computer to develop intelligent
behavior and work independently on
problems.”

Analytics
Enables data that is not causally related
to be linked.
Operational
Intelligence
Improves operational processes and
economic decisions through data
analysis.
Cognitive
Computing
Enables independent data discovery and
processing by linking AI to enterprise IT.
Bots
Computer programs that work
independently and perform repeated
tasks either automatically or with minimal
human intervention.
Social Analytics
Explores and analyzes data from blogs
and social media websites and derives
business decisions from them.
