Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as
intelligence exhibited by an artificial entity. Such a system is
generally assumed
to be a computer. It
can also be a so-called neural network and assume other forms such
as "intelligent"
prostheses. Artificial Intelligence means that the machine/computer
can learn, much like a human brain, and perform similar tasks.
What do we do with Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence can take many forms and
therefore has many uses, from neural networks to robots. It is
currently used in such diverse
environments as chess tournaments, computer gaming, prosthetics
and space flight.
Should we create a thinking, feeling and learning machine?
There are many questions surrounding the field of
Artificial Intelligence ethics. We encourage you to read our ethics
page for more details.
What are the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence?
Developments in the
field of Artificial Intelligence have been breathtaking. Lately,
we have created artificial limbs
that behave much like a natural
limb
would
do. Kasparov was beaten by
a computer in one of the most publicized chess matches of the decade.
Expert systems help us make decisions
that we otherwise would have trouble making.
