Artificial Intelligence is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science, which aims to create it. Artificial Intelligence has become an essential part of the technology industry providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science. This field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, intelligence can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine. So roughly speaking, AI is the study of manmade computational devices which can be inclined to be called intelligence. Social intelligence is very important when it comes to artificial intelligence. Emotion and social skills play two roles for an intelligent agent. It must be able to predict the action of others by understanding their emotional states. For good human-computer interaction, an intelligent machine also needs to display emotions. Some researchers hope that their work will eventually be incorporated into a machine with general intelligence.
After WWII, a number of people independently started to work on intelligent machines. Alan Turing has given a lecture on artificial intelligence in 1947. Alan Turing was the first to decide that artificial intelligence was best researched by programming computers rather than building machines. Sometimes artificial intelligence simulates human intelligence.
We can learn something new on how to make machines
