According to some research Artificial Intelligence(AI)is the number one trending technology in 2020 but let us start by defining what Artificial Intelligence mean, according to https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/artificial-intelligence-ai.asp
"Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving."
By 2025 there is hight probability that artificial intelligence and robot will take human job.
So by layman definition Artificial intelligence is the way machine/computer is design to act like a human been intelligence.
When we say Artificial Intelligence I know some people may start think Robot because some of us have watch it in some movie, novel etc. Yes robot is also a part of artificial intelligence, especially how they design to be doing some thing like a human being that is also artificial intelligence. But artificial intelligence is more than what we think is. If you are using Android I know may be have use google assistance which you will talk to her and she will reply just like you are talking to human beings.
Also if you are using iPhone am pretty sure you know about Siri.
They are all example of artificial intelligence project.
Some one will said oooh so am using artificial intelligence since but I never know, your answer is yes.
Self driving car is also a project and example of artificial intelligence
Also here in read.cash the rewarding robot is also a good example of artificial intelligence.
So let us talk about what make artificial intelligence
Neutral network
Machines learning
Deep learning
Big data etc
Note the best programming language for artificial intelligence and machine learning is Python.
