Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI), pronounced /ɑːrˈtɪfɪʃəl ɪnˈtɛlɪdʒəns/, is a branch of Computer Science that aims to create machines that mimic human intelligence. This can include tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding.
Etymology
The term "Artificial Intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference. It refers to the creation of machines that can perform tasks that would require intelligence if done by humans.
