Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines. The idea is to make machines capable of performing tasks that previously were done by humans. Tasks like speech, object recognition, and decision making.

Smart programs (AI) are different from regular programs, for example, say you have a robot that you want it to bring bread from a supermarket nearby. A regular program will crash if the supermarket happens to be closed while artificial intelligence will look into its data for alternative solutions.

Another example will be a room cleaner where a regular program will only be able to clean the room it's instructed to where it is hardcoded a smart program will be able to adapt to other rooms as well.
