Artificial Intelligence For Beginners & Professionals

What is Artificial Intelligence ?

According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy, it is “The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans.
Some of the activities of computers with artificial intelligence are designed including speech recognition, image classification, natural language processing etc.


History Of Artificial Intelligence

Here is the history of AI during 20th century −
