Introduction
Artificial Intelligence is science and engineering concerned with making computers behave like humans. Scholars introduced AI As the following:
``The study of mental faculties through the use of computational models'' (Charniak and McDermott, 1985)
``The study of the computations that make it possible to perceive, reason, and act'' (Winston, 1992)
According to Alan Turning intelligent behaviour is the ability to achieve human-level performance in all cognitive tasks, sufficient to fool an interrogator. Roughly speaking, the test he proposed is that the computer should be interrogated by a human via a teletype, and passes the test if the interrogator cannot tell if there is a computer or a human at the other end AI was introduced by Alan Turing after WWII and proposed a test that the system shall preform which is called Turning test. By the end of 1950s there were many researchers have started to work on AI and most of the works concerned on computer programmes.
By 2000s, AI has been developed a lot since that time and many companies have improved it in many aspects. Wherefore researchers have divided AI into different types according to Stanford University:
Logical AI
Search
Pattern recognition
Common sense knowledge and reasoning
Learning from experience
Planning
Genetic programming
Recently, Artificial Intelligence has been implemented in different kind of fields, and it has been a part of our daily life. For example: Smartphones are the best example for AI , Google and Apple have implement a sound recognition in their
