I. Introduction A. Definition of AI and Related terms
Different persons or institute can define Artificial Intelligence or AI in many ways, depending on their point of view. According to the book of H.L Capron entitled “Computers: Tools for an Information Age, Artificial Intelligence is defined as a field of study that explores on how computers can be used to do tasks that require certain human characteristics such as, instinct, intelligence, and imagination. It researches about the possibility of making computers think and act like human beings. According to Capron’s book, computer scientists often define AI in a more simple way. They define it as the study of how computers will do things that at the present time man can do better. They’ve included the phrase “at the present time” because AI is an evolving science. Evolving in a way that once a problem or flaw in the AI research was solved or fixed, its connection or involvement in the study is moved off. One good example is the game of chess, which was once a mighty challenge for the AI
