Artificial Intelliegence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is both the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it.Artificial intelligence has successfully been used in a wide range of fields including medical diagnosis, stock trading, robot control, law, scientific discovery and toys. Frequently, when a technique reaches mainstream use it is no longer considered artificial intelligence, sometimes described as the AI effect. It may also become integrated into artificial life.The broad classes of outcome for an AI test are:optimal: it is not possible to perform betterstrong super-human: performs better than all humanssuper-human: performs better than most humanssub-human: performs worse than most humansFor example, performance at checkers is optimalperformance at chess is super-human and nearing strong super-human and performance at many everyday tasks performed by humans is sub-human
