What is Artificial Intelligence?
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.
 
Where can I find out more about Artificial Intelligence?
We have researched the topic in depth. Check out our resources page for starters.
