and emerges. She can be made to repeat this cycle of behavior upwards of forty times in Notes
succession. Intelligence – conspicuously absent in the case of Sphex – is the ability to adapt one’s
behavior to fit new circumstances. Research in AI has focused chiefly on the following
components of intelligence: learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language-
understanding.

!
Caution Mainstream thinking in psychology regards human intelligence not as a single
ability or cognitive process but rather as an array of separate components.

1.2.2 Some Short Definitions of AI

There are following definition which describes the term Artificial Intelligence:
 The branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve
problems creatively.
 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is both the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer
science which aims to create it.

 Artificial Intelligence is a series of albums by Warp Records released in the early 1990s to
exhibit the capabilities and sounds of electronic music. Warp described the new (post-rave
electronic) music as “electronic listening music” to clarify that it was meant more for the
mind than the body.

 The history of artificial intelligence begins in antiquity, with myths, stories and rumors of
beings built by craftsman and endowed with intelligence and consciousness.
 Intelligence exhibited by an artificial (non-natural, man-made) entity; The branch of
computer science dealing with the reproduction or mimicking of human-level thought in
computers; The essential quality of a machine which thinks in a manner similar to or on
the same general level as a human being
 This refers to an algorithm or set of algorithms that can make decisions in a logical way.
For example, the AI routine for a bad guy in a game.

 Occurs when analysis and the search for truth takes precedence over the creative and
human activities of a job. People who practice artificial intelligence behave with so much
thinking and analysis that the feeling, intuition, and art of making decisions are sacrificed.
 Research into spacecraft autonomy, emerging properties of complex systems, automated
system design and in general on the applications of the methods developed by the AI
community to problems related to space system.
 Tools that exhibit human intelligence and behavior including self-learning robots, expert
systems, and voice recognition, natural and automated translation.
 Information processing by mimicking or simulation of the cerebral, nervous or cognitive
processes.

 Applies to a computer system that is able to operate in a manner similar to that of human
intelligence; that is, it can understand natural language and is capable of solving problems,
learning, adapting, recognizing, classifying, self-improvement, and reasoning.
 The branch of computer science that attempts to program computers to respond as if
they were thinking – capable of reasoning, adapting to new situations, and learning new
skills.
